Editing Palmer's Pursuit Shop (section)

== Relationship with Worr Game Products ==

=== Parallel technological development ===

PPS and '''[[Worr Game Products]]''' were important manufacturers of mechanical semiautomatic paintball equipment.

WGP was founded by [[Bud Orr]], developer of the [[WGP Sniper]] and [[Autococker]].

Both companies used pneumatic recocking technology.

However, their designs differed in construction, component layout and manufacturing methods.

=== Dispute over early semiautomatic development ===

Glenn Palmer and Bud Orr developed pneumatic recocking systems during the late 1980s.

The historical priority of their respective systems has been debated.

Palmer maintained that his early work preceded Orr's application of pneumatic recocking to the Sniper platform.[6]

WARPIG's Blazer review described the dispute as unresolved within the paintball community.[2]

The historical distinction is between the development of pneumatic recocking technology generally and the creation of specific commercial products.

Orr is credited with developing the Autococker.

Palmer is credited with developing Camille and the pneumatic operating systems used in PPS markers.

=== Aftermarket relationship ===

Despite the rivalry between the two designs, PPS supplied components used on WGP equipment.

The Rock regulator became particularly popular among Autococker owners.

This commercial relationship illustrates the interconnected nature of the early paintball equipment industry.
