Tippmann for sure. Purely because of rental fields and the 98

This! And seems to be highly popular first owner marker then moved up to an A5 or X7

Tippmann: because of rentals
PE: because of tournies

But I think Tippmann takes the cake.

What about WGP because they are so old they started with so many more kills before others existed?

I don't see tourneys as a lot of eliminations on a daily basis. Not like a field full of rental players. Sheer amount of paint....hmmm.

Tippmann has the age, and the A5 guys have been spraying paint for a long time.

It would be interesting to see the number of field days * number of rental markers for the different manufacturers.

Tippmann fo' sho', before 98's became the go to rental, it was the prolite. Also the have a huge percentage of the outlaw market.

It has to be either Tippmann (rentals) or Kingman (box stores and outlaw).

I think its close a close tie with tippmann, but I voted BE because they used to pump out so many markers (good and bad) including the walmart stuff people played in their backyards. So on a technical level, i would say BE.

AGD without question, because that's what I use and the rest of you combined are still playing catch-up. (kidding, but somebody had so say something asinine)

I'd have to think Tippmann easily takes the cake here.

-Tippmann predates every name on that list, often by decades. As I recall, the original SL-68 came out in '86, which I think predates even the Sniper (or at least, the mass-produced Snipers anyway.)

It's possible Brass Eagle came out a little earlier than Tippmann, but I'm not sure- even if they did, though, Tippy had a clear edge in production even back then.

AGD didn't start making a gun until '90, Kingman until '95 and Smart Parts 'til '96. DYE didn't start making a marker 'til... what, the Matrix in '00 or '01? PE didn't start making a full marker 'til something like '02 or '03, and by that time, there were well over half a million Tippmanns out there.
