Paintball markers

Paintball markers, aka paintball guns, are sophisticated devices that are constantly being updated to meet the demands of those who are consistent players of paintball.

Because simply throwing a paintball is not really very effective, paintball markers are the main piece of equipment needed to play paintball. Manufacturers use gas such as carbon dioxide or even compressed air to propel paintballs from the markers.
Although some are unfamiliar with the term “paintball markers” it is a fact that most within the paintball community use this term and not “gun” to describe the shooters in order to avoid the perception that paintball is a violent game.
Having said that, paintball certainly is not a walk in the park either – especially considering the fact that some paintball markers can even shoot a paintball at speeds upward of 200 mph. Because paintballs usually explode on impact, there is minimal damage that is done to the person who gets shot.
Most paintball markers consist of four parts. These parts are the body, hopper, air tank and barrel. Each of these parts experience frequent upgrades that help to make them more and more effective pieces of paintball markers each time a new model is released.
