The Ultra Light Trigger was designed by Tom Kaye in order to evolve the Automag. It reduced the trigger pull from nearly 6 lbf (27 N) to a mere 16 ozf (4.4 N) trigger pull. This allowed mechanical markers to have the light feel of an electronic marker giving players an alternative.
Paintball is an equipment-intensive sport and in order to safely conduct a game, every player requires a marker with propellant to fire the paint, a mask to protect the eyes and face, paintballs, and a loader to hold them. To ensure safety off the playing field, a barrel sock or plug for the marker is also compulsory.
An early model Autococker. The Autococker is a closed-bolt semiautomatic paintball marker manufactured by Worr Game Products (WGP).

In order to add stability to the initial puncture of the CO 2 cartridge Tippmann designed the trigger of the TPX pistol out of cast zinc (with a nickel-plated finish). After insertion of a 12 gram CO 2 cartridge one pull of this trigger will puncture it allowing for the CO 2 to enter the gun to be used to propel the paintballs.

A paintball marker, also known as a paintball gun, paint gun, or simply marker, is an air gun used in the shooting sport of paintball, and the main piece of paintball equipment. Paintball markers use compressed gas , such as carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) or compressed air (HPA), to propel dye -filled gel capsules called paintballs through the barrel ...
A tank's markers should be semi-automatic. One trigger pull: one paintball. The number of paintball markers mounted on tanks may or may not be limited, but the muzzle velocity of the markers themselves are limited for reasons of safety (use of excessively high rates of fire may also be considered unsportsmanlike conduct).
