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.
As with every paintball gun. When you pull the trigger, it sends a electronic pulse which sets off the bolt. The bolt pushed the paintball further down into the paintball gun. 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.
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.
A paintball gun needs CO2 (or HPA) to fire at all.
No, any tank will work.
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.
A Co2 gun can go up to 300 fps. Sling shoots only get a paintball up to 240.
you need Co2 to fire any paintball gun, it is what physically moves the ball out of the barrel.
It depends on the gun, but "both" is an acceptable answer.
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.
yeah
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.
The very basics are: a certified paintball mask, a paintball gun, paintballs, and a propellant source (co2, HPA).
It depends on the KGS system, and the FPS of it the gun.
