Paintball guns fire spherical paint-filled balls by application of short bursts of rapidly expanding CO2 (Carbondioxide) gas. Upon disegage of the trigger mechanism, a slide is forced forward by means of a coil under tension, thus loading the paintball into the barrel. At it's final position, the slide opens a valve enabling the flow of gas. The gas forces the paintball down the barrel and accelarates it up to a speed of more or less 300 fps upon exit of the barrel. The backpressure of the shot causes the slide to return to it's original position, loading another paintball and engaging the trigger.

Were little rubber detend holds the ball in place, to stop is from rolling out the barrel. Then a squirt of Co2, No2 or HPA sends the ball flying out at an impressive 220 MPH.

Does the jt cybird paintball gun work without a co2 tank?
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.
Does your paintball gun need co2 to be semi-automatic?
A paintball gun needs CO2 (or HPA) to fire at all.
Do you need a certain co2 tank for the ATS Azodin paintball gun?
No, any tank will work.
Does it hurt more getting shot by a Co2 paintball gun or slingshot paintball?
A Co2 gun can go up to 300 fps. Sling shoots only get a paintball up to 240.
What is semiauto for a paintball gun?
SemiAuto- a type of firing mode in which one pull on the trigger equals one shot and will automatically reloads itself until the marker runs out of ammo.
Do you need to get a paintball co2 tank to fire the brass eagle paintball gun or can you just pull back the knob?
you need Co2 to fire any paintball gun, it is what physically moves the ball out of the barrel.
Do you use air or co2 with a paintball gun?
It depends on the gun, but "both" is an acceptable answer.
Does the azodin blitz paintball gun take co2?
yeah
How do you identify a paintball gun?
A paintball gun, unlike airsoft or real firearms will have a hopper on top, and will have a co2 tank sticking out of the back.
Why do you need co2 for a paintball 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.
What is the gear needed for paintball?
The very basics are: a certified paintball mask, a paintball gun, paintballs, and a propellant source (co2, HPA).
Can you use a WG CO2 magnum as a paintball gun?
It depends on the KGS system, and the FPS of it the gun.
