Markers

A paintball marker, also commonly called a paintball gun, is the primary device used in the game of paintball to mark an opposing player. An expanding gas (usually carbon dioxide, nitrogen or air) forces a paintball through a barrel at a muzzle velocity of approximately 300ft/s (100m/s). This velocity is sufficient for most paintballs to break upon impact, but not fast enough to cause tissue damage beyond mild bruising.

Being hit in an eye by a paintball can result in permanent blindness or vision impairment, thus the universal rule that paintball participants must wear a protective goggle system designed specifically for paintball use.

The majority of modern paintball markers are semi-automatic, falling under the classification of either "open" or "closed" bolt firing positions, relying on one of 3 major design structures. The first is a gas blowback design whereby the trigger releases a hammer which sends the bolt forward and simultaneously knocks open a valve releasing gas to fire the paintball as well as recock the marker.
