Most commonly, a tank with compressed nitrogen, compressed air, or liquid CO2 is used. The process is basically simple, but must be done carefully because a failure between the tank and its valve can be fatal.
First, check the bottle and the gun. Make sure there is no damage to either. Make sure the seal on the bottle is intact and in place. Then align the bottle to the gun and gently turn the bottle on a few turns. Make sure it is properly threaded.
Then, aim the bottle towards the ground and away from any people. Keeping your hands away from the bottom of the bottle, rapidly turn the bottle until it is fully seated in the gun. Do not use excessive force.
To remove the bottle, you basically reverse the process. However, this process is significantly more dangerous and you must pay attention to what you are doing. It is vital that you keep your hands away from the bottom of the bottle, do not aim the bottle at or near any people.
As you unscrew the bottle from the gun, make 100% sure that the valve is turning with the bottle. If it is not, stop immediately. Most CO2 bottles will have a white line across the tank and valve. This will make it easy to see if one is turning without the other.
Paintballs can hurt. And if they hit you in the eye without protection, you could loes an eye. But CO2 bottles can kill people. Please be careful and have an expert show you how to do this safely if you have any questions.
Well depending if you mean green gas, propane or CO2. On green gas you take the tip of the green gas can with the pin on it and stick in the hole that's ment to take it in on the gun. On CO2 you take out the canister and put a new one in. On propane you attach the propane adapter to the propane and you put in the hole that's ment to take it.
A paintball marker is a paintball gun. It is just called a marker instead of a gun.
Usually LPR's are used to save on gas usage and if your paintball marker can work with lower pressures (otherwise you may end up with an effect that is similar to "passing gas" where the gas just leaks out of your marker upon actuating the bolt - if your paintball marker requires your air tank to be using a higher pressure)

Spyder style paintball marker work with a stacked bolt design. on the top they have the bolt that pushes the paintball forward and has gas fired through it, and on the bottom a striker that opens the valve. These two move back and forth, powered by the gas inside when the trigger is pulled.
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.
