A paintball gun (also known as paintball marker) is utilized to mark opposing players with paint. It makes use of air (carbon dioxide) to force the paintball out of the barrel at the speed of about 300 feet per second. This will trigger paintballs to break upon hitting somebody but will only trigger mild bruising to a person. This could blind a person, though, therefore making it a necessity to wear a face mask or eye protection such as goggles.

There are four varieties of paintball guns and they are classified according to their firing modes. These are pump action guns, semi-automatic guns, totally automatic guns and ramping-mode guns.

In the early days of paintball, all guns have been pump action. Each shot would require the person wanting to shoot to manually pull back the bolt to let a paintball fall in front of it and then manually push forward the bolt to bring the paintball in the position to fire. This was excruciatingly slow when compared to other firing modes employed these days, but is loved by numerous people as it teaches the value of a persons ability with his gun.

Semi-automatic guns have been made so that when the trigger is pushed down, a shot will be fired and the bolt moves back automatically to load the new paintball in position for the next trigger pull. This enables the player to increase firing frequency and accuracy since he will not have to manually pump the gun.

Totally automatic guns are these that will continue to fire paintballs as long as the trigger is held down. The Tippman SMG was the 1st to function a fully-automatic gun.

Ramping-mode guns are guns that can fire up to 15 shots per second. This kind of gun prevents abuse from semi-automatic guns or completely-automatic guns that can shoot more and can cause injury to other men and women.

These types of guns are utilized in different kinds of situations, typically to prove who the best player in a tournament is. Pump action guns promote utilizing stealth and are desired by skilled players because of the challenge they present. Semi-automatic guns are used by players hoping to increase their shooting accuracy and since they do not have to pump every shot, they are in a position to concentrate more on their targets. Totally automatic guns are employed by infantry and middle men in attacking one more teams base. Ramping-mode guns are for controlled environments where there is a distinct rule to avoid injury and other difficulties.
