Editing Automag (section)

=== Introduction in 1990 ===

The first Automag was introduced in 1990.

Early examples, known as Level 5 Automags, featured stainless-steel valve components, an integrated pressure regulator and a removable valve assembly.

The marker was demonstrated at the 1990 International Masters tournament, where Airgun Designs-sponsored team [[Swarm]] won using prototype Automags.

The victory is recognised as an early major tournament success for semiautomatic paintball markers.[1][2]

Original Level 5 Automags underwent several engineering revisions as Airgun Designs refined the design.

These updates resulted in the later Level 6, Level 6.5 and Level 7 configurations.[3]
