How a Paintball Gun Works

We use paintball guns for paintball games, but some people would rather use the term marker to refer this equipment as opposed to gun with an intention to oppose the publics belief that the items are weapons and that paintball is a dangerous sport to participate in.

The unit quickly thrusts and propels paint balls out of the marker via a burst of compressed CO2 gas. There is a long valve tube in the center of the marker which runs the length of the barrel, in which paint balls are inserted, down to the chamber which is located at the rear end of the gun. At the same place, the gas cartridge is also attached. The valve tube passes through the bolt, hammer and a spring along this path, also the valve seat which is located at the gas-intake end position of the marker. The valve tube is at all times open at the barrel end of the marker but there are other openings at the sides of the tube which are obstructed by the bordering valve seat. The tube is kept in place by a device referred to as a cup seal. So when the marker is not cocked, the bolt expands and blocks the paint balls from entering through the barrel, while when it is cocked paint balls will be released and shot. To do this you need to pull the bolt backward on the marker and press the spring to get the bolt hit against the hammer. When the bolt slides backward, the ammunition intake will open and allow a paintball to enter the barrel of the marker. Read more..
