How A Paintball Gun Works (Spyder Model)

When The Co2 Or Nitrogen tank is screwd into the constant air adapter (CA) a pin in the "CA" pushes the pin on the pin-valve of the tank release either Co2 Or Nitrgon. The Co2 or Nitrogen goes through a tiny hole in the CA into the line: either Stainless Steel Braided Hose or Macro-Line. After the Co2 or Nitrogen enters the foregrip and into the Mini-Expansion chamber wich alows the Co2 to enter the chamber and gives it space to expand by spinning the liquid Co2 to the outside and the bottom and only allowing gas Co2 to go into the verticle adapter ( expansion chambers do nothing for Nitrogen and have a medium effect on liquid Co2) where it's path is blocked by Valve Pin and Cup Seal. By pulling the cocking lever back it pulls the striker and the bolt back into a locked position on the trigger sear, when the trigger is pulled the sear releases the striker and the spring pushes the striker and bolt forward. As the Bolt hits the ball the Striker hits the valve pin releasing Co2 or Nitrogen into the main body of the gun and pushing the striker back to the locked position behind the sear at almost the exact time the ball is being pushed out of the barrel at anywhere from 200 - 400 feet per second by the escaping Co2 or Nitrogen Gas. This cycle continues everytime you pull the trigger
