Paintball Gun Mechanics
Before playing paintball, you should be aware of the different parts that make up the paintball gun (also known as a marker). The elements of the paintball gun are very important in successfully operating your marker. Many times, beginners can easily get confused as to how to follow the instructions of operating it. You will know exactly what to do when you clean your gun if you know the basic components of the gun.
The larger mechanism of the gun is the body. The section of the marker that is incorporated to the trigger frame, bolt and value is referred to as the body. All of these parts are easily detached from one another to add new equipment. It’s important that only experts attempt to take markers apart. Manufacturers of markers have implemented a standard type of approach when referring to the body section of the paintball gun. The biggest difference is the location of the barrel and trigger. When you push the trigger frame in a forward direction, the balance is shifted making the gun easy to use with one hand. It is pretty easy to maneuver the lower body profile on the gun. This is important when the amount of hopper hits in a game result in elimination. It is very easy to tell who is new at paintball and who is not when in a paintball field. The paintball rental guns have much larger bodies which lower a player’s hit potential.
The gun part that holds paint rounds is known as the hopper. Manufacturers have not yet been successful in inventing a hopper which doesn’t cause balls to break when confined. A gun may malfunction and get jammed in the paintballs start breaking inside the gun. The gravity type feed hoppers are more prone to paintballs breaking while inside the hopper causing this type of hopper to have more problems with jamming. Other types of hoppers are the agitation hopper, stick feed hopper and the force feed hopper.
The section of the gun which contains the gas which shoot the paintballs forward out of the barrel is called the tank. Most paintball guns use the high pressure or CO2 gas tanks. The original tank used is the CO2 gas, but the HPA has proved more effective because the CO2 doesn’t have an evaporation system involved.
The paintball travels through the barrel before it is released. Accuracy and speed is determined by the barrel along with the amount of distance of the ball. The barrel is considered the most important part of the marker. The long barrels are quieter than short barrels. Any owner of their own paintball gun should remember that it doesn’t matter what size barrel is on the gun, the paintballs can only go a certain distance to be able to break. The longer barrels do look much more intimidating and do offer much more accuracy. Unfortunately, they are also prone to require larger bursts of air for the ball to travel a distance much faster.
