I disagree with this: "The marker may not be semi-automatic, which means that it requires pumping or cocking prior to each shot being fired (in other words "rock and cock")." "Rock and cock" does not refer just to the pump action, but to both rocking the marker to load a ball and to pumping the marker.

And this: "The marker may not have porting on the barrel." I think the rule is that the barrel must be non-removable, like in palmer's guns. I think it's called an "integrated barrel."

Also, the list is missing some rules, such as the 12g changer rules. It can't be quick change, it has to be completely removed to load another 12g, etc. Here is Mike Cassidy's version of the list of rules:


1. Paintball Gun a. Pump action, 0.68 caliber. b. Single 12 gram CO2 powerlet only. No check valves. c. Requires the removal (unscrewing) knob or housing to change the powerlet. (No lever changers.) d. Horizontal feed, 20 round maximum. e. Vertical feed, 10 round maximum. (Any configuration that allows more than one paintball to be stacked over the breech feed opening.) f. External velocity adjusters must be locked into position. g. Any length barrel. No silencers or sound suppressor extensions. h. Any type of stocks, grips and sights. 2. Paintballs a. 0.68 caliber b. Unaltered factory condition. c. No coating with powders, sprays or any substances. 3. Chronographing a. Maximum firing velocity for horizontal feed 300 f.p.s.. b. Maximum firing velocity for vertical feed 275 f.p.s.. c. Each player must chrono upon exiting the field with a fresh 12 gram powerlet. d. (1) Clearing shot is allowed. The average of (3) shots is recorder. Firing above the maximum velocity shall be assessed penalties as follows: Horizontal feed. 301 to 316 f.p.s. - (2) points per foot. 317 f.p.s. and above - (50) points maximum. Vertical feed. 276 to 291 f.p.s. - (2) points per foot. 292 f.p.s. and above - (50) points maximum. 4. Goggles / Clothing / Equipment a. Field approved goggle system with full-face protection. b. Long sleeve shirt and pants sized to fit player, (2) layers of clothing maximum. c. Oversized, draped or ghillie type clothes are prohibited. Bright polychromatic and water repellent clothing (e.g. nylon, vinyl and rubberized fabrics) are prohibited. e. Kneepads and harness systems must be worn on the outside of clothing. f. No equipment allowed on playing field that could be used to effect velocity settings. g. No pyrotechnic or similar devices. h. Inspection of player and equipment may be conducted on the playing field or staging area to determine safety and fair play. 5.

[edit] List of modern manufacturers

I guess we decided to nix most of this list? There are many manufacturers who modify existing markers to conform to stock class regulations rather than create purpose-built stock guns from scratch. Do these manufacturers not deserve mention? More importantly, given the brief nature of this article in the first place, are we sure that we want to be removing information at this point? Would it not be better to simply write out everything we possibly can and then, when we feel all the possible information is present, go about whittling it down to a consumable size?
