Modern markers require a compressed air tank or CO 2 tank. In contrast, very early bolt-action paintball markers used disposable metal 12-gram (0.42 oz) CO 2 cartridges also used by pellet guns. In the mid to late 1980s, marker mechanics improved to include constant air pressure and semi-automatic operation.
However, a change in gun laws led to entry into the paintball market in 1986; forming the Tippmann Pneumatics Incorporated company. [1] The company attempted to make high-performance, durable and affordable products - with the company claiming to have built the first semi-automatic and full-automatic paintball markers in the world.
