CCI Phantom Revolution

The CCI Phantom Revolution was the name used by Component Concepts for two paintball marker designs. Mike Casady demonstrated an electronic rotary-breech prototype at the 1996 NPPL World Cup. CCI later used the name for a mechanically fired, pump-loading marker documented in its 2012 manual and 2013 product brochure.[1][2][3]

Electronic prototype

At the 1996 World Cup, CCI demonstrated prototypes with an electrically driven rotary breech. A paintball dropped into the chamber before the breech rotated closed. The trigger released the firing gas mechanically. A microphone detected the discharge and signalled the electronics to cycle the breech. Two 9-volt batteries powered the system. WARPIG reported that the prototype was still under development at the time of the show.[1]

Pump-loading Revolution

The later .68-calibre Revolution used a manual slide to feed a paintball and a separate power piston to fire it. CCI documented interchangeable paintball sleeves, a vertical regulator and a choice of Phantom or Autococker-pattern barrel threads, depending on the breech fitted. The 2013 brochure lists a stock-class version with a 12-gram CO₂ changer and an open-class version with a hopper feed.[2][3]
