Another 3D printed folding marker stand from PaintballDNA that will be a birthday present for a friend in a few weeks. I use one myself and have bought others as gifts before. Love these things. They fold out and fold flat easily and have no detachable pieces to lose. And the sale price of $25 is a hell of a bargain. PBDNA printed it to order in the colors I wanted and had it shipped out within the week.
So far they are proven to work great with my Emek, Gtek, Trilogy, and Automag, as well as my buddy's eNMEy.
Edit: Forgot to note that it works great with my Trilogy only after I replaced the original steel braided line with macroline and a 90 degree elbow. If you have a steel line that arcs downward too much, it can be difficult or impossible to get the HPR to sit within the gap of the upright section, which is necessary for anti-roll stability. The design of these stands assumes that the marker can rest on a flat surface with nothing projecting downward further than the tank.Last edited by MrBarraclough; 10-29-2025, 12:18 PM. Reason: Remembered that certain Trilogy configurations interfere with marker resting upright.
The Automag: Not as clumsy or random as an electro. An elegant marker for a more civilised age.

WWP Razorback III - I recall the advertisements in APG (Action Pursuit Magazines) and considered these to be the best markers on the market. It does show "Pro" on the grip frame. I had to settle for an Outlaw, yet always wondered about the premium nelson based pumps. Decades later I finally get to try one out and believe these were the foundation for the PMI Traccer and then ACI Maverick pump makers.
Highlights (new experience to me):- Adjustable bolt mechanism is two pieces. There are detents between the two pieces that give a click feel and perhaps are helpful to prevent backing out. I'm not sure what the slot in the bolt is for. Anyone have any answers or hints?
- Valve tube is of course busted. I think Phantoms were the only nelson based pumps that I haven't experienced a broken valve tube. What I found interesting is this is a three port valve tube, I recall that I've seen single-, two- and four-port, but never a three port.
- Hogue M16 grips. Hogue 45 is the best grip for me and I was excited to see this in M16 version, thinking it's rare find. Turns out they are readily available.
Now to get this pump marker back in action. If anyone has a thumb screw, cup seal and valve stem - it would be most helpful. Another option is to find a Traccer/Maverick and sacrifice it for its ancestors benefit.Comment

I'm eager to hear your thoughts and impression. Their latest pump marker with the Spyder style vasa is really intriguing -
Impactfour this will be 3rd Meteor "pump". They're really great guns but out of the box it's quite farty when the pump handle is held forward. Currently this one has a Lazarus valve and Delrin hammer inside. That will be swapped back to the factory Meteor valve once my Attktx spring perch arrives so that I can use standard valve springs. Then I'll start swapping spring combos to eliminate the fart.
Otherwise, the pump stroke is extremely smooth. Their slide frame feels great in the hands. The build quality is awesome. I'll have it with me next weekend at Reapball and the following weekend at Xtreme if you are attending either and want to check it out.
