Yes, it is what physically moves the ball out of the barrel.
A paintball gun needs CO2 (or HPA) to fire at all.
you need Co2 to fire any paintball gun, it is what physically moves the ball out of the barrel.
without CO2 or paintballs, you just put the bolt forward. In most guns this is how you de-cock after a day of play, but if you have a regulator, it may store a single shot. If you fire without co2, the gun will not cycle or fire a paintball, it will only go into the barrel. If you fire with no paintballs and co2, you may damage your gun.
CO2, stored in the tank is highly pressurized. The paintball being shot is caused by it being pushed out by the rapidly expanding gas. CO2 also cycles and reloads the next paintball.
A Co2 gun can go up to 300 fps. Sling shoots only get a paintball up to 240.
The purpose of a paintball gun is to fire paintball pellets, to mark opponents in the game of paintball.
No, any tank will work.
Yes, while playing, CO2 or other propellant is necessary to fire the marker. It is the CO2 that moves the paintball gun parts, and is what pushes out the ball at such high speeds. Taking the tank in and out will cause it to loose significant shots.
No paintball gun will work without a CO2 tank or other propellant tank. without Co2 there is nothing to push the ball out of the barrel.
It depends on the gun, but "both" is an acceptable answer.
On a paintball gun C02, or High pressure air is necessary. It is compressed air that, when the trigger is pulled and the marker fires, propels the paintball out of the barrel.
yeah
