The time-tested Intimidator platform has a new brother—the Protege. Beginning in
2000 with the release of the Classic Intimidator, Bob Long set the bar high with the
rst marker to feature breakbeam anti-chop eyes, dual regulation, an integrated
drop forward, two piece barrel, and gradient anodizing in several patterns in one
marker—in one affordable package.
Although this marker was relatively under the radar of the paintball community, Bob
Long Technologies set the paintball world on re in 2001 with the release of the
Ground Zero Intimidator—the smallest, fastest, and most consistent marker to hit
the scene. Featuring a 45 frame, the new Torpedo™ regulator, and faster electron-
ics—and a smaller, sportier feel.
In 2002, Bob Long expanded upon the Intimidator line with the release of more
models, extensive milling and upgraded electronics; featuring the world’s most ag-
gressive marker programming at the time. Three years later, Bob Long rocked the
tournament on its heels again with the Alias Intimidator—bringing Intimidator speed
and reliability to a smaller scale.
Finally, in the Intimdator’s last stand before the release of the Protege, the Genera-
tion Five brought efciency and speed to a whole new level. And new for 2008, the
Protege aims to surpass all expectations, and set the bar notches higher—in a true
Bob Long fashion.
The Protege marker represents the newest addition to the stable of cutting edge
Bob Long products. Featuring the absolute newest and greatest features a marker
can offer, the Protege serves as the latest issue of the acclaimed Intimidator series.
The Protege incorporates the winning features of the timeless Intimidator with the
demands of the modern player. The Protege is smaller, faster, stronger and lighter
than any of its predecessors—and more affordable. Utilizing the patented 4C Quad
optoelectronic system, the Protege combines the blazing electronic speed of the
Marq series with the utterly efcient stacked-tube poppet design of the Intimidator.
