Can Anyone Identify This Unmarked Vintage .68 Cal Paintball Marker?

[ScoutM]

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone can help identify this older .68 caliber paintball marker. I've searched online, compared it to a number of vintage markers, and haven't found a confident match.

The marker doesn't appear to have any manufacturer or model markings. I've checked both sides of the body, the grip frame, barrel, feed neck, and ASA without finding a name or model number.

It came with its original box, but no manual.

Here are the identifying features:

• .68 caliber
• Black finish
• Long barrel
• Vertical feed
• Bottom-line ASA
• Single trigger
• Rear sight
• Black triangle logo/emblem on the side of the body
• The artwork on the original box shows the same triangle logo, but in red and white.
• Box text: ".68 Caliber Paintball Gun" with the features listed on the packaging: high velocity, pump action, quick-change CO₂, 10-shot tubular magazine, and adjustable rear sight.

I've attached photos of:

• Both sides of the marker
• Close-ups of the triangle logo
• The original box
• Any other details that might help identify it

Does anyone recognize the manufacturer or model? I'd appreciate any information about its age, history, or similar markers that could point me in the right direction.

Thank you!

I'm not confident on the exact model but judging from the M-16 pistol grip, powerfeed and angled trigger guard it is definitely early 90s vintage, likely some sort of F-1 Illustrator clone. ACI Viper maybe?

ETA: Not a Viper, I checked and those have branding on them.

There were a lot of fly- by- night Spyder clones. I remember one called the "Enigma" that looked pretty similar.

It's a Delta. Chinese manufactured, they offered them to pretty much everyone as a private label gun. Heck, even the tiny little field I worked at was sent a few samples and asked if we wanted an "exclusive" deal.

NPS/32 Degrees probably ended up buying the most....

Another Delta variant was one of the last back bottle stacked tube guns sold...

Pretty sure this marker was the first or second marker I ever purchased and used. I thought it was a venom 99 but the name delta sounds kind of familiar. If you scored this off eBay you barely beat me for nostalgia. If you wanna part with it send me a pm.

Thanks for the reminder. It was also sold as a Venom 99....




They really did offer these puppies as "exclusive" deals to EVERYONE, so they ended up being called a few different names.

Hey everyone, thank you for the quick responses today! I really appreciate it. This has been a fun dive into some paintball history for me and you all are a huge help!

I like the looks of that Scorpion Pro Edititon! 10/10 would bang.

seriously, it looks like the scorpion Pro was ahead of its time (design/aesthetic wise) with the half back like that.

I wish we had information about which foreign OEMS made which groups of Spyder clones.
The Delta seems to have come from the same source as the Venom, Genie, and Rebel, for instance.
