PAINTBALL GUN & MARKER


The paintball gun use air system to send paintballs out of it barrel unlike the real guns that use gun powder. The system is that we fill the air source in the air tank that is connected to the gun.

There are two types of air that is used with the gun. One is CO2 and another is N2. The CO2 is widely used with manual gun in “Woodsball” and N2 is with the electric gun in “Speedball”.

The reason that they have to separate two types of air to use in two types of guns is because of the shooting system.

The manual guns that are use in “Woodsball” system is not sensitive like the electric guns that are use in “Speedball”. Like what I have said, it’s a manual so it shoots single at a time. The system inside are very simple. The paintballs are stored in the hopper then it will slide down by themselves through the feed neck into the gun. When you triggered the air will released to the bolt then appears the climax. The place where you were aiming at is where the paintballs will be send through the barrel with the speed of about 300 feet per second and hit the target beautifully.

The electric guns that are use in “Speedball” are actually called marker. It is much sensitive than the manual. Inside it there are chips that control the speed of shooting. It makes you shoot faster. If your fingers are fast enough you could shoot up to thirty or forty paintballs per second and yes, the trigger is much more lighter than the manual for that you could hit the trigger faster to get more paintballs sended to the bunker, player or where ever you are aiming at. It shoots faster so you can not use the hopper like the manual gun because it would not feed the paintballs fast enough for your shooting and there comes the electric loader instead. The loaders also have chips inside it and it is also for speed but a speed for loading paintballs. Inside it there is a spinner to spin the balls through the feed neck to marker. The spinner may work when there is a noise from the bolt when they a shooting or it may work when paintballs hit it self. In some loader they will have a system that makes the spinner spin backward when the paintballs are jammed.
