A break-beam eye is not necessary on a paintball gun, however it is highly recommended; There was a time when break-beam eyes did not exist, and players were often victims of "chops" or "barrel breaks," the advent of motorized feeders (hoppers) saw a great increase in these broken balls damaging accuracy and sometimes causing complete failure of a marker in-game. Todays popularity of the use of eyes to reduce these breaks almost requires a player to use an anti-chop system of some type to remain competitive, the best of which would be the break-beam eye.
ACT stands for anti-chop technology. Sometimes in a paintball gun the paintball does not fall all the way into the chamber. If the ball isn't all the way in and the bolt is pushed forward it can "chop" the ball in half. Anti chop technology can sense when the ball doesnt move and stops the bolt. Break beam eyes do the same thing but are more expensive
No.
Eyes are like little sensors in the gun to tell wether a ball is there or not. No ball, no fire. This prevents breaks in the gun.
The purpose of a paintball gun is to fire paintball pellets, to mark opponents in the game of paintball.
They check to make sure their is a ball in the firing port before it shoots
A paintball marker is a paintball gun. It is just called a marker instead of a gun.

No. The state of Ohio did not invent the paintball gun.

A paintball gun is several magnitudes stronger then a Nerf gun. A paintball travels at around 200 mph, where a Nerf gun is around 10.
No. Nothing dissolves in the process of a paintball gun firing.
