Editing Advanced Tactical Systems (section)

=== Early marker development ===

Advanced Tactical Systems was associated with the development of magazine-fed paintball markers during the 1990s.

The [[VintageRex]] historical paintball database dates the AT-85, AT-10, AT-4 and AT-16 models to 1997, although these catalogue dates do not independently establish when each model first entered commercial production.[3]

The German Paintball Museum has documented a 1994 [[Tagline TS-1]], describing it as an earlier version of the marker subsequently known as the ATS AT-85. The museum's retrospective account identifies the same mechanically indexed chain-feed arrangement found in later AT-series markers.[4]

The precise corporate relationship between the earlier Tagline product and A.T. Systems, Inc. requires further documentation.
