Paintball gun is also known as paintball maker. They use the word ‘marker’ meaning is obviously to mark.
In the history markers are used in forestry to mark trees. After some thought of what the marker can do and some modification, they created a game called paintball.
The main body is called the bolt. It allows air to to go through it and pushes the paintball out.
Bolt includes some mechanism. First of all it pumps. Secondly, a system which will automatically re-cocks the marker.
What re-cocking mean , to place another paintball in the chamber.
Chamber is a place which the paintball is waiting for an air rush when it fires. Then a ball détente is a mechanism to hold the ball so that the ball will be in place and won’t roll out.
It also make sure that only one ball to enter ro the chamber.
Paintball will fire out from the barrel. Barrel is a long tube that will make the paintball to shoot out accurately on the target.
There are many kinds of barrel. Aluminum or stainless steel ones are heavier. I got people tell me that brass barrel are the best because less friction on the paintball.
Have you ever seen barrels with drilled holes; this is to help air get out of the paintball’s way, but very difficult to clean.
The hopper or loader is a plastic container that holds your paintball. It’s on top on the bolt so that the ball from the hopper will fall into the chamber by gravity,
I know an e-loader by NXe Journey series loader. Check it out !
Some hopper can hold up to 300 paintballs. It depends on how big is your hopper is. Normally is can hold at least 50.The air tank is the man. Some people uses CO2 and some uses normal compressed air or Nitrogen.
