there are two main kinds of electrical markers:
Sear trippers with electrical assist:
normal mechanical gun setup, but instead of a physical link between the trigger and the sear, there is a switch, which is hooked up to a circuit board, which then uses a motor or solenoid to push the sear out from the bolt, sliding the bolt forward, opening the valve and starting the firing and re-cocking process process
Full electric:
There is a direct link from trigger switch to board to a solenoid valve (not to be confused with a sear tripping solenoid) that directly sends the air to the bolt and Paintball

Yes! in fact, it will not work on CO2 at all.
This is totally an opinion question. A mechanical marker is nice because there is no need for batterys and it is truly a bit of paintball history. Electronic markers are great because they are faster, allow more modes, and are the future of paintball.
Ok, considering the last person didn't give you a good answer, here's mine. The paintball "marker" is the proper term for the gun. It's called a marker because it "marks" what it shoots.
no, a paintball marker should not be illegal in any town to own, however some towns will not allow the discharge of a marker.
No there is no licence required to purchase/operate a paintball marker. In order to play you must be at least ten (at most places) and 18 to purchase a marker, balls, or CO2.
