Paintball markers can use N2 or high pressure air for their propellant, to attempt to offset problems found with other types of paintball propellant such as CO2. When N2 (nitrogen) or HPA (high pressure air) is compressed, unlike CO2 it will still remain as a gas. As it expands, it also cools the . . . → Read More: High Pressure Air

CO2 is one of several propellants used in paintball. Because CO2 is a liquid when compressed, it must expand to a gas in order to be used by most paintball markers. This expansion is not adiabatic and requires energy, causing the tank to cool as heat is used to expand the liquid CO2 . . . → Read More: CO2 Paintball markers are powered by the expansion of gas stored in a compressed gas bottle. The two most common forms of compressed gas are carbon dioxide and high pressure air (HPA). These are known as propellants, as they are used to propel the paint. . . . → Read More: Propellants Markers which are designed to resemble real guns are referred to as military simulation, or MilSim. In the past if players wanted a realistic sports based military simulation, airsoft with it’s custom made replica military BB guns would have to be used, but now military replica paintball markers are available. MilSim markers can . . . → Read More: MilSim A paintball marker is the main piece of equipment used in paintball to tag an opposing player. An expanding gas (usually carbon dioxide or high-pressure air) forces a paintball through the barrel of the market at a muzzle velocity of roughly 300 feet per second (90m/s or approximately 205 mph). This speed is . . . → Read More: Paintball Markers Hoppers are the means by which a paintball player keeps their marker fed with ammunition, much as magazines are to a regular rifle. With few exceptions, hoppers are all mounted above the marker, and most use gravity as the power to get the balls down in to the marker. So if most hoppers . . . → Read More: Paintball Hoppers |
