Paintball Buyer’s Blog

Worr Game Products lately has been creatively using up their stores of older stock components to make room for new products. I would have loved to seen the meeting where someone said “Hmmm, people still seem to like this whole pump marker thing, should we try that?”. They seem to have forgotten that Worr Game Products was founded on a pump marker, the WGP Sniper, in the late 1980s. The originals, many built in Bud Orrs garage, were rather blockish with hinged triggers and are now collector’s items among serious pump enthusiasts.

Eventually the design morphed into the Sniper 2 featuring more refinements such as the slide trigger. When semi auto was starting to become available there was a sudden boom in kits that converted your pump marker into a true semi or self-cocking pump. Bud Orr went the self-cocking route, making a pneumatics kit that bolted onto your Sniper. Called the “AutoCocking Kit”, it proved itself so popular that they were eventually sold as a complete gun. Thus, the WGP AutoCocker (or simply ‘Cocker’) was born. Anybody who played in the early 1990s remembers the great ‘Mag Vs. Cockers’ debates.

The Sniper 2 (there was the rare Sniper 3 in there, with a wraparound pump on a Mini cocker body) faded from the picture. Oh, it was still around but basically forgotten by the industry. The AutoCocker rose to the top of the heap for a long reign as the top tournament marker until the WDP Angel and other electropneumatic markers became the new kings.

Now we enter paintball today. Pump play has made a significant comeback, whether its older players returning to their roots or newer players looking for a challenge. Many players make the switch when they realize how much fun it is for a lot less money, since your paint consumption drops to a fraction of playing semi. Cheap paintball play means being able to play more often. Pump marker sales are up and there is actually a market for converting semi autos into pump markers! All of a sudden WGP pumps are back, with tons of aftermarket Autococker accessories available cheap with a little searching.

We have been getting in small shipments of pump WGP markers… their availability is so limited that when I call in my order for them my rep has to run out to their warehouse and tell me what I can get. They won’t be making them much longer so if you can get your hands on one of these I’d do it! WGP Karnivor Pumps were in our last shipment and this week we had received Nightkast and Super Stock Pumps as well.

The Super Stock Pumps use the Super Stock body. We have in Olive w/ Hinge Trigger and Black w/ Slide Trigger.

The Nightkast Pumps I think are the best looking of the bunch! We have Blue and Red w/ Slide Triggers.

Karnivor Pumps feature a half-blocked Karni bodywith a quick pull bolt. Combine that with its intricate milling and you’ve got a true joy to shoot! The stock on these changes often and quick so go to our website to view the stock on the WGP Karnivor Pump Marker.

If you already have a WGP Autococker or Trilogy and want to convert it to a pump marker we can help you with that too. Just pick up a WGP Sniper Pump Conversion Kit.

When these are gone they will be gone forever.
