Its how paintball guns used to be before the development of semi's and electro markers.

I guess some people like to play a game where a few well placed balls are as good as ropes of paint from an electro :)

Not really sure what you're trying to ask here mate...

Pump markers were the predecessors to the mechanical semi-autos which in turn developed into the electronic markers we use today.

Its a bit like saying what is the purpose of the steam train or propellor-driven aircraft?


I think you may have just earned DTOTW.... :rolleyes:
