2008 NPPL Rulebook with the highlights of these rules and some modifications.

31.1 Pump Marker. A Pump Marker must be manually re-cocked between shots. This is
performed by moving the handle or the grip forward and then back along the barrel of the marker. Pulling the trigger in these markers causes the hammer from the previous pumping action to hit into the valve stem, releasing air and pushing the paintball through the barrel. It is the player’s duty to pump the marker. The pump action will reset the hammer and allows a paintball to drop into the breach, and pumping back forward will allow the hammers sear to come into contact with the trigger.Any pump marker that is “AutoCocker “ based must have a beaver tail. (Except the Karnivore)

31.2 Auto Trigger. Pump Markers may have Auto Triggers. Auto Trigger is the action of “pumping the marker” (Process of completing 1 shooting cycle) while holding the trigger down and the marker shooting.

31.3 Velocity of Pump Markers. A pump marker may shoot at a max. fps (Feet Per Second) 285 with a 12gram Co2 Cartridge as the air source and a max. fps of 280 with constant air (9oz. or higher of Co2 or Compressed Air tank).

31.5 Game Format and Scoring. The game format and scoring will remain the same as the 5 man and 3 man formats. In the Pump format the players may use 10 round tubes or any sized Loader(Gravity fed or Force fed loaders)

FAQ’s

Can I use a hopper with 60 rounds and not reload?
Yes

Is this a stock class event only?
No, all types of pump guns can be used, we only ask you reload with 10 round tubes.

Are you worried about stalemates because of limited paint?
We are hoping that limited paint will encourage movement and make the game more exciting rather than having one guy in the back dumping paint like a semi.
