The Top Secret Project

Aside: Anyone got a better idea for a name for this thing? I'd kind of settled on the "three-quarter Sniper" (hence the three quarters in the lead pic, in case it wasn't bloody obvious. )

But it seems I can't- or shouldn't- use the term "Sniper", and most likely even "Sniper II" or "MicroSniper". "Pump Fifty" sounds stupid, ditto things like "mini pumper" or anything like that.

Was trying to come up with something like "Squeaky" or "Sprite", but anything like that sounded goofy.

Any suggestions?

Doc.

Obviously it's a Snip.

Hee! Thing is, Slim, the name has to work with non-players, too. We know who Bud is, but heck, I've gotten messages and comments from people who didn't even know what a "paintball gun" was.

Jordan's suggestion of "Snip" makes me think "Snipper", and 'Lil Snipper' isn't bad, really.

Riffing on a few of the other suggestions, there's the Squeaky Cricket (obviously a gag on Noisy Cricket, but really doesn't have much to do the the actual gun) the Half-Pint Pump or just Half Pint (unfortunately "three quarter pint" doesn't roll off the tongue as smoothly) and I'm honestly surprised that 50 cal markers haven't already been called "pea shooters".

Taking from the guitar world, I always liked the decision Fender made to name their smaller scale guitar the Mustang. Even if they claim there's no connection, being named after Ford's pony car very much suited it. Riffing off that you could go with something like Javelin, GSX, Duster, Mirage, Gremlin.... maybe Echo?

Big Dog for sure

Now I want an airsoft sniper

Stock class horizontal feed. valve sized appropriately for nice smooth pump action. 12 gram fed of course because why not.
