Editing Banzai Bandits (section)

== Equipment and sponsorship ==

Banzai Bandits used several generations of paintball equipment during its competitive history.

The original players began using Splatmaster markers before moving to pump-action models including the Rebel Line and Grey Ghost. [1]

During the 1990s, the team became associated with customised Autocockers produced through the Manchester Paintball and Planet Eclipse business.

Banzai also received sponsorship from [[Worr Game Products]] and [[Smart Parts]]. The two manufacturers permitted the team to use their respective markers simultaneously under sponsorship arrangements. [10]

WDP became another significant sponsor. Banzai players participated in early Hyperball testing and provided feedback on equipment associated with the Angel marker. [1]

At the 1997 Hyperball Championships, most Banzai players used Eclipse-modified Autocockers with mechanical slide triggers, alongside other markers including an Automag.

The team also used compressed-air systems, ViewLoader Revolution loaders and Smart Parts barrels. [1]
