There are so many companies taking the same marker, changing it alittle, then slapping there name on it. What markers are clones? What markers are originals?

the really old sheridans are the original stacked tube blowbacks, but kingman took that concept and made it much lighter. spyders evolved from the vm-68's, and everything else is a clone of spyders.

btw, snoopy, don't double post. use the edit button.

sort of. glenn palmer made the first autococking pump. bud orr used that idea to make his sniper markers into semi automatics. he then copyrighted the name 'autococker.' so, he did make the first 'autococker,' but not the first autococking pump.
