Inspired by the paintball marker thread...

I want to say it was late 90s. Possibly around 1996-2000 that I seen this paintball marker.

My friend and I had went to play paintball for his birthday, I believe it was his 16th birthday placing the date around 1998. But I am not sure if he bought the marker then, or at a later date.

Basically there was a paintball place in my hometown(since moved) and we played a few games now and then using pump markers, and in the basement of this building that you couldn't even stand full upright in.

There was a pistol for sell on the wall, it was I believe either completely clear, or smoked plastic/lexan/polycarbonate, what have you.(My friend bought it, but before we left, he decided he didn't want it after all. I was too poor to get it, and being a locally owned paintball shop, they where not pricks and took the marker back.

It took a Co2 cartridge either in the back of the pistol, or in the grip, and used those clear plastic tubes that hold about 8 x.68 cal paintballs.

To the best of my memory it looked somewhat similar to the tiberius clip fed pistol

I really want to be able to find out who made this pistol, and what it is called so I might be able to purchase one.

Any suggestions, and links, and or pics, or ideas would be great. Thanks
 
Was it a Talon or Stringray? This marker was sold at K-Mart and Wal-Marts and was plain junk. I own a Tippmann SL-II and still play with it against electric markers of today.
 
No, it wasn't either of those mentioned. The talon, and stingray are larger, and can use a hopper.

The pistol may be a stacked tube design. But I am pretty sure you slid the cigar tube of paint into it from the rear. I do not believe it was pump either. And it was definately somewhat small, on the order of Almost being the size of a real semi auto pistol.

*sigh* I am still hoping I find out what marker it was some day, if I do, i will link an image of it.
 
Pretty sure it wasn't a Sheridan. If anything it only had two stacked tubes. I am pretty sure it looked like a real semi auto pistol, or closer to one, than the Sheridan, and similar models.

Thanks for all the help guys. I am still boggled.
 
Brass Eagle Talon or Blade (likely the winner) in "ghost" color plastic

Edit: It could also be a more rare Brass Eagle pistol that eludes me in name at the moment which had more pistol like qualities but never was popular and broke frequently)


www.pbnation.com is the place for better info though.
 
Thanks everyone. Brackis, I am thinking it might be one of those rare brass eagle pistols.

It definately wasn't a talon, or blade. I remember those distinctly.
