Editing Rocky Cagnoni (section)

== Paintball media and equipment ==

=== Push ===

Cagnoni appeared in ''Push'', the influential tournament paintball documentary produced by Patrick Spohrer and [[Bryon Benini]].

The film documented professional players and teams during the late 1990s, including Avalanche, the Ironmen and Chicago Aftershock.

It featured tournament footage, player interviews and behind-the-scenes material.

The documentary was previewed at the 2000 NPPL Chicago Open, where contemporary WARPIG reporting identified Avalanche among the featured teams.[13]

Cagnoni became particularly associated with an aggressive bunker move captured in the film.

The sequence was subsequently discussed in retrospective interviews and contributed to his reputation as an attacking player.[3]

=== Signature equipment ===

Cagnoni's prominence during the early electronic-marker era was reflected in equipment marketed under his name.

At the 2001 Mayhem Masters tournament in England, [[WDP]] displayed a customised Rocky Cagnoni Angel marker.

The marker featured a distinctive raised sight rail, a customised grip frame and polished and bead-blasted anodising.

WARPIG's contemporary trade-show coverage specifically identified the model as the Rocky Cagnoni Angel.[14]

Cagnoni also worked in the paintball equipment industry, including associations with WDP, [[DYE Precision]] and Hormesis, as documented in his 2022 Paintball Nerd interview.[3]
