Paintball guns FAQs
What is a paintball marker?
“Marker” is the word paintball enthusiasts use to refer to the paintball guns. They are euphemistically called “markers” as a way to show the mainstream that paintball isn’t war-like or encouraging violence. Paintballs are held in a hopper on top of the paintball markers. The loader grabs a ball and positions it in the marker’s chamber. Pressurized nitrogen or carbon dioxide then propels the paintball out of the marker and onto the target.
Why are paintballers required to wear paintball masks?
Paintball masks protect the eyes and face. Some are even made with throat guards and neck coverings for added protection in, for example, a cold-weather round of woodsball. Any way you look at it, masks are required for safety, but most paintballers agree they would wear masks even if it weren’t required.
What’s the best way to buy your own paintball marker and other paintball equipment?
Paintball equipment is available online, at large sporting goods stores, or the local paintball facility’s store. The best way to buy your own paintball gear is to start by playing with several different types of rented guns, for example. Then look online for what you want. You might be surprised at the discounted prices you will find.
