The PGP paintball guns where used to mark trees that where going to be cut down by logging companies.

Three guys with lots of $$ rented a cabin in NH in the early 80's. They found these guns and paintballs in the cabin. They started fooling around in the woods playing "WAR".

Once they returned, they thought - hey we could make some $$ form this. They developed a non-toxic water salable paint ball and the rest is history. The old PGP guns were very reliable but would only hold a single paint tube and used very small 12gram Co2 cartridges.

I use to know the names but my "AGE" is starting to get to me.
