=== Avenger AK-1 ===

The '''Avenger AK-1''' was a .68-calibre mechanical semi-automatic paintball marker using a Montneel-style valve system.

Its construction incorporated a machined aluminium and steel receiver, internal gas passages, removable barrel and direct-feed arrangement.

The manufacturer's promotional material described the following features:[2]

* Lightweight machined aluminium and steel construction.
* Stone-honed brass barrel with a quick-change mechanism.
* Three-position removable front grip.
* Adjustable front and rear sights with a scope mounting provision.
* Anti-double-feed mechanism intended to reduce paintball jams.
* Wide trigger designed for rapid semi-automatic operation.
* External velocity adjustment.
* Internally routed gas passages without exposed hoses.
* Winter valve intended for operation with liquid CO₂.
* Optional summer valve and replacement components.

The original brochure advertised a maximum firing capacity of seven rounds per second.

It also stated that every marker was bench-tested before shipping and carried a one-year manufacturer's guarantee.[1][2]

These performance and quality claims were made by the manufacturer and have not been independently verified.
