I copied this over from MCB's forum. For many here will not be familiar with Cooper T products or Chauncey Toombs. His was one the greatest innovators in paintball products from the early days. Some of his products are now made and used in many of our paintball equipment then and now. I have had the opportunity to talk to him many times over the years and he was one of the easiest people in the industry to talk to. His products were/are great and he always stood behind his work. Chauncey will be greatly missed. Please follow the link below and sign the guest log to help show how much he ment to the PB community and that he will be missed.

Definately a loss to the paintball community. For those that don't know anything about him, he had every bit as big an impact on paintball in his time as Tom Kaye and Bud Orr.

My thoughts and prayers to his family. I still have several of his products in use today from the early 90's. A true pioneer.

My Deepest sympathys for the loss...
Cooper T was and is still on of the best Paintball Co. out there always were very inovative. First one's to make a rear velocity adjuster for the Sheridan/PMI/Paranah, without having to disasembel...I still have several of there products as well.
God Bless
