There are two different answers to this.
You either mean a, Paintball Hopper - Which sits on top of the marker and feeds paintballs into the marker, acts like an ammo magazine on real guns.
Or you either mean a Pod - A pod usually carries 100-140 rounds on paint in one pod. You carry the pod in a pod pack and you use it to reload your hopper.
you screw the adapter into the gun, and then the co2 cartridge.
A typical paintball canister contains compressed air or CO2 at pressures of around 3,000 to 4,500 psi. The amount of CO2 in the canister can vary depending on the size and pressure it is filled to, but a standard 20 oz canister typically contains around 14-16 oz of CO2.
Either you have a defect in the gun/canister or you havn't charged your canister. If you just got your gun you should charge it. Usually they do not come with air in them.
In the book "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown, the canister contains an antimatter particle that, if in the wrong hands, could be used as a devastating weapon because of its powerful destructive capabilities.
No, the FPS will stay the same. The size of the tank determines how many shots you can take before you have to refill it.
The most dangerous aspect of a paintball gun is the carbon dioxide canister. You want to make sure that the mechanism that holds the canister in place does not rotate, this means it is not fully connected to the gun and can come loose. Make sure when buying canisters that they are not used or broken in any way, which could also lead to injury. Going to this site will explain in more detail about the canister dangers (http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml04/04105.html). You should also make sure you get a barrel plug with the gun to keep it from firing when you don't want it to. Finally, make sure you get all the protective gear, in particular, goggles.
A 9oz CO2 canister typically provides around 800-900 shots in paintball guns, depending on the marker's efficiency and settings. The thrust produced by a CO2 canister is not commonly measured in thrust units like Newtons or pounds-force, as it is more relevant to measure its capacity in terms of shots fired.
A CO, or carbon dioxide, cartridge is basically a container of carbon dioxide under pressure. When the canister is punctured, it releases the pressure inside and the force is used to create air pressure. These are commonly used in paintball gun.
a cheap 3000 psi tank can be purchased at your local sporting goods store and is 35-40 dollars. A good 4500 psi carbon fiber tank can cost upwards of 150 dollars
Yes it is perfectly legal for you to get a tank filled. You cannot however purchase a paintball gun till you are age 17. This is just to keep little kids safe.
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.
a canister that contains birds.
