Because paintballs are a shell filled with paint, the shell is the strongest when the paintball is about halfway crumpled, right before it breaks, making the ring shape.
No, they should not. Besides the dangers of physical activity in woodland environments, and through it does not happen often, paintball shots will cause bleeding.
Anywhere from 18 to 35 shots is normal on most paintball pistols.
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.
on average you lose about 3-5 shots worth
There are quite a number of various types of pants that can be used for paintball depending on what one wishes for their purpose to be. One may want thick pants to ease the pain of the shots. One may also want white pants to pants to contrast the color of the paint to keep track of hits. One may also want pants that are easy to move around in, giving the ability to dodge paintball shots.
A standard 20 oz will run for 800-1200 shots depending on the marker.
really it depends on the marker, temperature, velocity you are shooting at and a lot of other things, but for the typical entry level marker, i would ballpark it a little under 1000 shots
No. It does not cause lockjaw.
It's the grassy hilly country side. Sort of like where they shot most the landscape shots in The Lord of the Rings in New Zealand.
A 72ci 3000psi air canister can typically shoot around 600-800 shots when used with a paintball marker. However, the actual number of shots can vary depending on factors such as the efficiency of the marker, rate of fire, and temperature.
An example of an investigatory project is experimenting with dominoes to test out the speed of them falling. Another good one is testing paintball shots to see what influence them.
All paintball guns require propellant, but some use HPA or high pressure air, instead. HPA tanks are more expensive and holds less shots, but are significantly more consistent (accurate) and easier and cheaper to refill. You can also tell how much you have left on a HPA tank.
