New Marker from U.S. Army Paintball and Tippmann Sports
Monday, June 1, 2009 at 10:27pmWe are excited to release the new U.S. Army Paintball Marker - Project Salvo™…an exciting new marker featuring a six position collapsible and foldable stock, an AR-15 style shroud with four built-in Picatinny rails and a new AR-15 style magazine that doubles as a helpful toolkit. The marker also incorporates a flat-top Picatinny rail built into the receiver, which makes it simple for players to quickly add a handle, site, scope or a variety of other modifications.
As an added benefit, the Project Salvo marker can be easily enhanced with an eGrip™ as well as several other performance upgrades from the Tippmann 98 Custom® Platinum Series, including: the Cyclone™ Feed System, Response™ Trigger and Flatline™ barrel.
Much like Alpha Black™, the name selected for this new marker is rooted in U.S. Military history. Project Salvo was a series of tests conducted by the U.S. Army’s Operations Research Office (ORO) from the mid to late 1950s. The research obtained through Project Salvo helped lead to the development of the AR-15, which would go on to become the M-16 – widely considered among the most respected and proven rifles ever utilized by the United States armed forces.
Project Salvo will have a MSRP of $169 and is featured on the U.S. Army Paintball Site at
