A paintball squeegee is a device used for clearing a broken ball out of the marker due to the bolt cutting it and throwing paint down the barrel. Basicily it is what it sounds like it is a rubber o ring at the end of a stick which is stuck down the barrel then pulled out to clear the barrel. A variation of this is the paintball swab, which is my personal favorite, it is like a long q tip. that actually soaks up the paint in the barrel.
No. Nothing dissolves in the process of a paintball gun firing.
I have both and honsetly i use the paintball gun more =)
depends on how you use it
The paintball gun does not use any parts that have not been make in other industries before.
All I do is take out the bolt, squeegee through the barrel into where the bolt would be then I use some oil I got at Maxon paintball and put some on the bolt mainly by the o-rings. EDIT: Depending on the Gun, some use oil, and some use grease....you should read your owners manual to make sure you are not putting the wrong stuff in your marker. Typicaly the higher end guns use Grease and cannot use oil.
No, you will not be allowed.
There is no paintball gun that runs on only 200 psi.
Paintball gun. You can see where you hit your target. I disagree, if you are looking for a more realistic looking weopon then use an airsoft gun
It depends on the gun, but "both" is an acceptable answer.
No. A paintball gun is not considered a fire arm anywhere because it does not use an explosion to propel a metal object.

Use a small brush to clean out any debris or dried paint. Avoid disassembling the trigger as it is difficult to reassemble. ▪ Step 7: Clean the striker and bolt.
