== Equipment development ==

=== DYE Precision ===

Benini worked in paintball equipment design and development through DYE Precision.

At an early-2000s paintball industry event, WARPIG identified him as a representative demonstrating the company's Invision goggle system.[13]

His involvement in equipment development is independently documented by United States patent records.

In December 2002, Benini filed an application for a paintball garment incorporating gripping surfaces intended to improve the stability of a player's marker and air system against the body.

The invention was subsequently assigned to DYE Precision, and United States Patent 7,191,470 was granted on 20 March 2007.[14]

Benini was also named as a co-inventor on United States Patent 8,047,190, covering a motorised paintball loader.

The other named inventors were Eero Kaakkola and Gerald R. Parks. The patent was granted on 1 November 2011.[15]

Additional patent records identify him as a co-inventor of pneumatic paintball marker technology alongside David DeHaan, Eric Roberts, William Wing and Eero Kaakkola.[16]
