Carter Boxgun
The Carter Boxgun, also written Box Gun, was a .68-calibre stock-class pump paintball pistol made by Carter Machine. It used a tubular feed and a 12-gram CO₂ cartridge. VintageRex dates its Boxgun entry to 1992.[1]
Development
[edit]In a first-person account preserved by VintageRex, Derrick Obatake recalled obtaining a Duck receiver and barrel blank from Dave Loo and commissioning Earon Carter to build a pistol with a ported barrel, adjustable sights and the balance of his Nel-Spot. Obatake specified a fixed upper section to keep the sights aligned with the barrel.[1]
According to Obatake, Glen Chon of Check It Products subsequently used the commissioned pistol as the prototype for a production stock-class model. This account describes how the Boxgun inherited features from the Duck design.[1]
