Autococker “Sniper” Pump Conversion

I recently acquired a Psychoballistics Lightning 2k+ Centerfeed Autococker body that I soon transformed into a Sniper-2 pump. I took off the front pneumatics and replaced it with a CCM pump kit, replaced the regulator with a CP reg, added a WGP hinge frame, a Check-It on/off and rail, and a J&J elite barrel kit sized from .685 to .691 backs and an 8″ tip. A very accurate marker when paired up with the correct paint and barrel back.

Pump play is a returning trend in paintball. Many speedball and professional players use pumps to hone their skills. When paintball first started, it was called Survival, and it was played with pump guns only. Pump markers are far more accurate and consistent when compared to other markers because they fire from a closed bolt position, like a sniper rifle, so that the bolt is not moving/engaging/deforming the ball as it is being fired. Pumps can therefore be run at a high operating pressure for better efficiency even with fragile paint. I have hit a running player at 170 yards with 1 ball with my ‘cocker pump conversion. I have a 2003 Black Magic with CCM Pump Kit and Angel regulator. Stop by the shop to check her out, along with our other great pump selections.

Pump markers also promote good paint conservation and better communication and tactics, as you cannot depend on firepower. We also promote use of pumps for friendly games, so nobody gets “lit up”.
