| I myself
am not a old school player nor do I pretend to be. This page is just
dedicated to those players with years of experience. I respect
these players and their styles of playing. The few that I do know
love their pumps over the semi's and electors. For the most part
these markers resembled fire-arms and used a 12 gram and 10 round
magazine. The purpose of these were to develop a person's TACTICS
not hosing (like Today)
What is the Difference between Stock and Pump? Stock markers are 12 gram using, 8 or 10 shot shooting
markers. They DO NOT use hoppers or any size CO2 tank. As you
look below you will see 4 examples of a stock marker, and 1 example of a
pump. |
Have you ever sat and thought about what marker was it that ignited the fire of paintball? Well here it is. This is the Nel-Spot. Originally used in the 1970's as a way farmers to mark cattle and loggers to trees. It was with this that people began to shoot each other for sport. It takes the usual 12 gram through the left side of the handle. The original did not have a pump handle. Rather the user would pull back the bolt, the ball would drop, push the bolt forward and down, then repeat. The first innovation to paintball would then be the pump. |
This is a Nel-Spot with Battle Grips, Speed Wheel, and Extension of the Barrel And Pump. Of the reviews that I have read, this marker was not too highly rated, Complaints of CO2 leakage, or marker just not working at all were amongst the most popular. The velocity is averaged at 230 ft/sec by using 12 grams and a to round magazine or clip. |
Coming out around 1987, the Splatmaster offered competition to the Nel-Spot. It preformed at a higher Velocity, by about 10-15 ft/sec +, and had a bit better accuracy and range. To fire this, one would push the plunger forward and then fire. Though rapid pump fire was not yet able to be accomplish, it was easier than the original Nel-Spot. If you have ever heard of "rock and cock," here it is. |
Here is one of the most famous Stock pumps to enter the scene. The PGP has been around since about 1987. Many people still swear to these markers as being the best marker ever made, and the most durable and rugged. |
Here is the Sniper
II by Worr Games. This and the Sniper III were once considered the
best of the Worr Games line-up if not for the entire paintball
industry. It was one of the last high end pump to be produced before the
onset of the semi-automatic craze was in full swing. |
