Paintball Guns (also known as "markers) expel paintballs at the opponent in the game, paintball. Paintball markers use carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen (N2) or compressed air to fire the paintball out.

Many markers have large refillable cylinders, or tanks, which can produce more than a hundred shots. Others use powerlets, which can store carbon dioxide and are much smaller and less powerful.
Here is some information about the basic mechanism of a paintball gun...
Of course, there are paintball markers which have a different structure and way of working. But basically paintballs are forced out by a bolt in the main body of the gun. This bolt is moved by a flow of air. There is also a cocking mechanism, which means that the paintball is put in place of the already shot paintball in the firing chamber.

A paintball gun can be re-cocked by either pump or an automatic machine. The place in the gun where the paintball is waiting for the rush of air to throw it out is called a chamber or a breech.

As it was mentioned before, not all markers have the same structure and way of working, and according to their differences, paintball-guns are divided into five main groups:
pumps
semi-automatics
pistols
electronic
and stock Paintball Guns .

Pumps are the cheapest of all markers (it depends on the model, but statistically, they are cheaper than any other Paintball Guns ). And paintball pumps work exactly the same way like pump-action shotguns. Paintball pumps are quite different from semi-automatic paintball markers, because you have to
