Editing Navarone (section)

== Equipment and sponsorship ==

Navarone was closely associated with [[JT Racing]], later known as [[JT USA]]. Paintball.Media credits the team with securing a major sponsorship agreement with Marty Tripes of JT Racing in 1986.[1] Contemporary reporting from the 1987 International Air Pistol Open identified JT Racing as Navarone's official sponsor and described Tripes as travelling with and actively supporting the team.[4][5]

Greenwell also identified [[Line SI]] and Tiger Stripe camouflage among the team's sponsors.[2]

Navarone initially used modified [[Nelspot 007]] markers before adopting markers produced by Skirmish, the company that became Line SI. This equipment developed into the [[Line SI Bushmaster]]. Greenwell recalled that team members transferred components from their modified Nelspots into the early Bushmasters and used the resulting pump markers for most of the period from 1987 until late 1990.[2]

The team remained associated with pump-action markers and 12-gram carbon-dioxide cartridges during much of its original competitive period.[2][3]
