Composition And Design Of Paintball Markers
Paintball markers are the gear that helps players of paintball score hits and achieve victory. These are known also as paintball guns but paintball enthusiasts sometimes prefer to use the term markers due to the violent connotation that the word gun invokes. This gear has been under criticism from people who believe that they encourage violence in spite of other benefits of the sport.
Paintball Markers Body
The paintball markers body is where the main parts of the markers are found. The trigger frame, bolt and valve are all here. The trigger frame of the paintball guns is how the player controls the emission of balls from his marker. This can be fitted with a variety of trigger action mechanisms that control ball emission and number of balls that are supposed to come out when used.
The bolt and valve are the ones that control whether the paintball markers are firing or at rest. The valve controls the compressed air that pushes out the balls. Precision of these mechanisms help in smooth firing and prevents problems in the paintball markers.
Hopper
Hoppers are the magazines for paintball markers. They contain the balls that are supposed to be fired from the markers. There are three types of hoppers, namely force feed, gravity feed and agitating. These control the way that the balls are placed or fed into the paintball markers.
Gas Tanks For Paintball Markers
These tanks are containers of the compressed air used for the markers. The gas is utilized to propel the balls out of the muzzles or barrels of the markers. Carbon dioxide and compressed air are two of the gases used to propel the balls out of the paintball markers. Many players prefer compressed air than carbon dioxide because carbon dioxide is unstable. The position of the tanks in the paintball markers may vary depending on the make of the marker and the individual using it. Many paintball markers are structurally similar especially those for rent.
The issue over how safe paintball markers are for the participants is hotly debated because there is always a margin of error that the players might cross when paintballing. Many critics of the game and the paintball guns cite escalating violence, vandalism and the use of the markers outside of the playing field. There have been instances where individuals have used the paintball guns to threaten people or to use other form of harder balls to harm animals and people.
