Editing Carter Machine (section)

=== Autococker customisation ===

During the early 1990s, Carter Machine expanded its work on semi-automatic paintball markers.

The workshop became particularly associated with customised [[Autococker]] markers originally manufactured by [[Worr Game Products]].

Modifications included body milling, replacement bolts, barrels, pneumatic components and cosmetic finishes.

Some Carter Machine Autocockers featured diagonal milling patterns commonly described as shark gills, along with distinctive breech ventilation cuts and modified bolt assemblies.[10]

Former employee Marc Pascual recalled that the workshop experimented with breech ventilation holes intended to reduce gas travelling backwards through the feedneck.

Paintball historian [[Daniel Bacci]] documented these modifications through surviving equipment and interviews with former employees.[10]

The workshop employed several machinists and technicians over the years. Consequently, not every customised marker produced by Carter Machine was necessarily machined personally by Earon Carter.
