Engineers in paintball

[The Hobbit]

So I know there are some here that have been behind the curtain. I’m curious who were the engineering minds behind each company/gun?

Was bob long actually designing the intimidator or just a financial backer/company face?

Who was the guy at smart parts when they were doing more then rehashing old designs/“borrowing” other designs?

just how many markers and equipment did Simon have involvement with?

Please share any and every design and engineering story that the brain trust knows.

The WDP Angel LED, Smart Parts Shocker, and Brass Eagle Rainmaker were all very, very similar from what I have learned.

Um, no?
Angels are triple tubes
The original shoebox shocker is a poppet but everything following is a spool
The rainmaker, well it's just unique. Closer to an automated pump than anything else really

Basically the originals of each are all poppets but that's pretty much all they have in common. Hell all 3 of those use different barrel threads even.

They are similar in the same way a Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla and Chevy cobalt all have 4 cylinder engines, 4 tires and 2 headlights
