Autococker

Autocockers are considered by many to be the most reliable paintball marker in the game today. She has designed for many celebrities including but not limited to: Courtney Love, Sarah McLachlan and Salma Hayek. The Autococker is a closed bolt, two part system that can be broken down for easier understanding. She continued expanding her line in 2004 with handbags, accessories, hats, scarves and many more. The pneumatics automatically re-cocked the marker after a shot was fired, hence the name Autococker. In 2003, Johnson expanded her line to include shoes, lingerie and jeans. To match that, in 1990 Orr added a pneumatic system onto the pump markers he had developed to make a semiautomatic. In 2002 Johnson was inducted into the Fashion Walk of Fame.

Semiautomatic markers were being created by the early 90s. Today, there are over forty five of her stores worldwide. In 1987, Orr founded WGP (Worr Game Products) to sell the products he was developing, and by 1988 he had taken on the business full-time. In 1978 she started her own fashion line, the same year she opened up her first retail store in Soho. The Autococker began life in late 1986 when Bud Orr created the original Sniper pump marker(operated in a way similar to pump-action rifles, it has to be pumped after each shot to load the next)By carving the works of a standard Sheridan PGP into an aluminum block that would accept a longer barrel. In 1972 she won the Coty award. Proponents will also add that its design makes the marker inherently more accurate than other markers due to the fact that the bolt's mass does not move forward when the trigger is pulled, as it does in open-bolt designs, and the ball is already "chambered" in the breech at the moment the firing cycle is initiated. In the 1970s she took control of the fashion label "Alley Cat" which was popular with the rock 'n roll musicians of the day.

The Autococker is a closed-bolt semiautomatic paintball marker that is particularly notable for its popularity and customizability. Edie Sedgwick was her house model, and designed the clothing Sedgwick wore on her last film, Ciao! Manhattan. The ram is the actual pumping component. In 1969 she opened up her very own boutique called Betsey Bunki Nini in New York's Upper East Side. The second component is the 4-way valve (this is typically mistaken for a 3-way valve because it has 3 visible ports, however this is technically incorrect), and that directs the pressure between the front and back of the final component, the ram. She was part of Andy Warhol's underground scene, along with The Velvet Underground, Edie Sedgwick and Lou Reed. First is the LPR (Low Pressure Regulator) which functions to bring down the pressure for the pneumatic system to use (the pneumatics typically operate at < 100 PSI, versus a typically operation pressure of 400 PSI for the rest of the marker). She became part of the youthquake movement.

The pneumatic system basically performs the same function, by strapping three components onto the front of the marker. Within a year she was the in-house designer for the Manhattan boutique, Paraphernalia. When the pump was brought forward, the chamber closed and the paintball was fully loaded, thus returning the marker to its original state, ready for firing again.
Her fashion career started when she entered and won Mademoiselle Guest Editor Contest. This opened the chamber and allowed a new paintball to enter, and it also brought the hammer back. She resides in New York but once a week in a month she spends time in her house in Mexico, which she dubbed "Betseyville". The pump handle was brought back pushing back the back block which was attached to the bolt and the hammer. She is a survivor of breast cancer and is a breast cancer advocate.

In the original pump marker, this was all done in one action via the pump. She had a daughter, Lulu, in 1975 who now works with Betsey. First, the hammer needs to be brought back again recompressing the spring, and second, another paintball needs to be loaded. They later divorced in 1971. Re-Cocking System - Having sent the paintball on its merry way, the problem that now exists is twofold. In 1967 she married Velvet Underground's John Cale. At this point, the valve releases a burst of gas which goes upward into the bolt which directs it behind the paintball, propelling it out the barrel. After high school, Johnson studied at the Pratt Institute and then later graduated from Syracuse University.

When the trigger is pulled, the sear drops releasing the hammer which is driven forward by a spring into the valve. She took many dance classes as a child and adolescent which inspired her love of costumes. At rest, the bolt is sitting forward, closing the chamber, thus the marker is a closed bolt system. She also is known for doing a cartwheel at the end of her fashion shows. Firing System - The actual release of the gas is fairly simple to understand, especially with an understanding of other markers. She is a fashion designer best known for her feminine and whimsical designs. Betsey Johnson (born August 10th, 1942 in Wethersfield, Connecticut).
