Looks great. What did you pay for it?

If you curl the first two fingers of your non-shooting hand around the sights and use your thumb to push in the cocking plate, you can get the sucker firing pretty fast for what is essentially a single-action marker. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

Brings back memories. First marker I ever used in paintball. (At a field in the UK back in '86.)

I think i've given it long enough...
I was obviously being sarcastic. Splatmasters are cool. They pop up on ebay fairly often and I have contemplated picking up one many times. ------------- <just say no to unnecessarily sexualized sigs> |

From 1981-1983 Charles Gaines, Hayes Noel, and Bob Gurnsey were the only show in town. They were the ones that came up with the game, marketed it, and secured equipment and supply lines. Originally the game was a 3-way monopoly of NSG (National Survival Game) Nelson (Who supplied the markers) and RPS (RP Scherrer Pharmaceuticals who supplied the paint). Nelspot 007's are basically two steel tubes that use panel supports which are hand-welded in place to hold the entire assembly together. Add in the costs of the machined bolt, hammer, sear assembly, valve, valve body, and power-tube, and it all gets rather expensive to produce. NSG determined that they could make a paintball marker out of mainly plastic components that they could then sell cheaply to franchisees and players. That put the potential for more control in NSG's hands, securing their survival for at least a few more years. The problem was, they were short-sighted to the fact that there were no long-term exclusivity agreements or even the broad-based patents you see today, to keep other people from buying 007's through Nelson or outdoor supply companies rather than NSG, or to keep other companies from inventing new paintball markers. NSG eventually lost ground to the independent fields (such as Skirmish USA operated by Paul Fogel) which had a much smaller playing area and concentrated on high-conflict games rather than the large-area low-conflict stealth games of NSG's format. They also began to lose out on marker sales to companies such as Benjamin Sheridan and PMI who come out with their own paintball markers which offered greater possibilities than the un-modifiable splatmaster. NSG attempted to adapt to the situation by creating a double-action hi-capacity paintball marker in the splatmaster rapide, but it was too little too late. NSG eventually folded and the only remaining testaments to their existence are the splatmasters and rapides you see on e-bay and (until recently) the name "Survival" in Survival New York which was eventually renamed to "Cousin's Paintball Plattekill" after it was bought out. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig.

Once again tallen amazes me. If RPS was the original paint maker maybe thats why I like their product. They were the first so they have the most practice. ------------- Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your... http://www.deltasquad.info/">

They were the ones that originally sold paint to NSG, nelson actually made the original paints.
A lot of the stuff I know about the old days comes from a combination of experience (I played as early as '93) and research. If you want to learn more, I'd suggest picking up the http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Guide-Paintball-Fourth-Completely/dp/1578262542/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1196366753&sr=8-1 - Complete Guide to Paintball . I still have the first edition, so I can't tell you what any of the later editions have in them, but I'm sure they still have a lot about the history. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig.
