Editing LAPCO Grey Ghost (section)

=== Design ===

The original Grey Ghost was a manually operated pump-action marker using the Nelson in-line valve system.

Its breech-drop design allowed a paintball to enter the breech during the pumping cycle without requiring the longer bolt movement associated with bore-drop markers.

The marker incorporated lightweight internal components designed to improve the efficiency and smoothness of the action.

Thompson stated that the Grey Ghost's breech-drop mechanism was fully compatible with the original Nelspot 007 system.[1]

The marker's spring-return pump automatically returned the handle to its forward position, helping keep the breech closed.

Original examples featured fixed barrels, with CO2 supplied through external gas systems. Different feed and gas configurations were available.[2]
