Paintball

well the first thing is he should be wearing a paintball mask

chopping paint is when the paintball is pinched between the bolt and feedneck which "chops" the paintball in half, this commonly happens when cheap paint or brittle paint is used or it occurs when bolt is moving faster than the hopper can feed the paint.

*edit* a CHOP is when the ball breaks in the marker itself normally in the breach. a BREAK is when the ball breaks either in the barrel or the air. THEY ARE 2 COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS

There are quite a few different methods of going about this, and each have their positives and negatives.

First, you have your "above ground" bunkers. These are normally sheets of plywood or similar material, fashioned together into a horizontal "L" or "V" shape as to cover more than one flank. These are generally cheap and very simple to make, and are also portable.

Then you have your regular or "sub-ground" bunker. This bunker is normally started by digging out a 4 foot x 4 foot area, 2-3 feet deep, and then mounding or sandbagging all the dirt on the side. You should also dig a small entrance trench in the rear. If you decide to stop right now, you have a "foxhole".

After that, you simply add your plywood or similar material to the sides, and if you choose so, add a roof and then cut "gun ports" into the sides of the wood. Remember to leave the back entrance open. The negatives of this type is that is a lot of work to produce, permanent, and requires maintenance. However, you can feel satisfied that you have a real bunker, and will most certainly add new elements to your gameplay.

most paintball courses have a set limit on the max speed your gun is allowed to shoot the paintballs. in most cases, this limit is 280fps, which translates to 205 mph.

no, because the air is what pushes the paintball out off the barrel.

Walmart carries small pump guns that could be used as sidearms.

Yes they do! They work great and are perfect for snap shooting and the like, however it is reccomended to Chrony no higher than 220 FPS. They are heavier than regular paintballs and they do not break open so there is a lot more energy when they hit the target.

PSP stands for Paintball Sports Promotions. It is professional paintball league. PSP Ramping is the type of firing mode they use in that league.

When a marker is in PSP Ramping mode it means the first three shots you fire (if they are within 1 sec of each other) will be semi-automatic. After the first three shots are fired, and you keep pulling the trigger atleast once every 1 sec, the gun will then add shots and fire 3 shots per trigger pull. PSP Ramping mode is capped at 13.33 Balls Per Second.

The T-storm is a low quality paintball marker that can be found at most retail stores (walmart) for around $40. It will shoot a paintball when you pull the trigger, and that is about all that can be said. It has exceptionally poor air consistency as well as having a habit of breaking in a matter of months. It is not recommended to buy this marker unless you only plan on playing once or twice.

it depends, if u are just starting paintball and dont want to spend 1000's of dollars then this is a decent gun. it can be upgradable later on if desired. this is a entry style speedball gun.

Depends on how many you have; if you have pump, semi, or auto marker; how many times you shoot it; etc. If you have a pump marker, then chances are you arent going to use many paintballs because you have to cock it everytime you shoot. if you have semi-auto marker then you will tend to go through more because you can shoot faster, and if you have full auto marker then you will probably waste alot of paintballs

really just common sense.

Yes, as long as you don't shoot any thing that you do not own, including other peoples property

There is no legal age to own, but you must be 18 to buy one.

Source, Wikipedia.org United States * Under Federal Law, ** Airsoft guns are not classified as firearms and are legal for all ages under federal law, as well as the laws in each state. However, in some major cities and population centers the definition of a firearm within their respected ordinances includes propulsion by spring or compressed air, thus subject to applicable laws. ** A 6 mm minimum orange tip must be present on the barrel end of the airsoft gun to identify it as such for any commercial sales. [1] Once sold, local laws may vary on whether or not the orange tip must be kept - in many places, no laws exist restricting one from removing or replacing the orange tip, but one should check the local laws before making such a modification. ** Airsoft guns' trademarks must be removed where the manufacturer does not have an existing license agreement with the manufacturer of the real fire arm. For example: Classic Army has a licensing agreement with Armalite, so the trademarks can stay on imported replicas of Armalite's weapons. In practice enforcement is hit or miss. You might get an "unlicensed" gun through customs with trademarks intact, while a licensed gun might be held in Customs by an uninformed customs agent. House Resolution 607, sponsored in early 2007, would change this if passed, allowing imports to retain trademarks even if there is no agreement between the real firearms manufacturer and the replica manufacturer.[2] ** In addition, the similarity between genuine firearms and airsoft replicas is close enough to provoke interaction with local law enforcement personnel if an airsoft gun is carried openly in public. ** If someone were to, for example, attempt a robbery with an airsoft gun, they would be charged as if the airsoft gun were a real firearm.[citation needed] * New York City requires that all realistic toy or imitation firearms be made of clear or brightly colored plastics; furthermore, New York City makes possession of any pistol or rifle or similar instrument in which the propelling force is a spring or air, unlawful without a license. See New York City Administrative Code § 10-131(b) and New York City Administrative Code § 10-131(g)(1)(a)[3]. The rest of New York State is unaffected by these laws, and there are no state regulations limiting or prohibiting airsoft. * Michigan allows the purchase of Airsoft guns. However, they must have an orange tip on the barrel. * Texas allows Airsoft guns to be owned but most cities require that the Airsoft guns be discharged only while outside city limits. * Some cities in Illinois considers shipping or distributing airsoft guns illegal. It is officially now not illegal to remove the red top of the airsoft gun * According to New Jersey state law, airsoft guns are classified as firearms, and therefore, must follow state firearm laws regarding posession and purchase. Due to this, "technically", airsofts are legal in New Jersey. If you are going to play, you must do so on a private property. TAKE SPECIAL NOTE ON THE FACT THAT YOU MUST TREAT AN AIRSOFT GUN LIKE A REAL GUN IN PUBLIC, NEVER TAKE IT OUT OF IT'S CASE UNLESS YOU ARE >>>INSIDE<<< YOUR HOME OR AT AN AIRSOFT FIELD. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL GET YOU ARRESTED OR SHOT (BY REAL STEEL)

The "paint" inside of a paintball isn't really paint, it is primarily polyethylene glycol which is water soluble and also found in food. They also contain dye. The "paint" doesn't exactly dry like normal paint, it evaporates and breaks down and leaves behind just the dye or a dry paste like residue depending on the paint's fill thickness.

If you live in the inner city then yes. Rural areas, not so much.

Professional paintball players have no true salary. There are very few pro paintball players that don't need a second job to support themselves. They make most of their money from sponsorships and endorsements. edit: most work for there sponsor's.. and unless your ollie lang you wont make much money playing paintball.

If you want to try and fix it yourself you will need to know where the leak is coming from, easiest way to find that is to get onto a paintball form and start asking questions. once you know where it is coming from you can replace the seal that has gone bad. If you dont want to work on it yourself the next best thing is to send it into a shop and have them work on it.

Check your gun's documentation and the bag of small parts that may have come with it. Many have a cup seal or similar mechanism and explain in the documentation how to inspect and/or replace it. Some even come with a spare seal.

This all depends on the feedneck on the gun. That is, the circular part on top of the gun that connects the hopper to the marker. If it is clamping feedneck, simply release the clamp, push it down all the way and close the clamp appropriately. Others you may have to unscrew with an Alan key, and on the lower guns, just push it on their to the best of your ability. Though clamping feedneck is by far the best to have on a gun, due to the fact that it decreases the possibility of the hopper coming off.

because inside of your paintball gun is a rubber or plastic peice called the ball detents that holds the ball in place until shot. It could be that the detents are missing or damaged.

Well when they made paintballs in the first place they were for "paintball guns" that farmers would use to mark cows and mark poles and such. In 1981 the very first paintball game happened when a few friends took these guns and played a game. After they had a lot of fun like a lot of paintball players do, after they played one of them named Bob Gurnsey made the first paintball gun and started selling them. After that the guns kept getting newer and better to this day. Now paintballs are made just to play the sport of paintball.

First you must determine if your gun can use compressed air. Consult the manual for this (most guns can, but certain guns require high or low pressure air tanks). Then purchase either a metal (low end) or carbon fiber/fiberglass tank (high end) with the pressure and size of your budget and liking. Then screw in the tank as you would a co2 canister, then head over to a Paintball air refill station, ask a referee or a friend how to fill it, then hook it up, and fill it.

Charles Gaines, Hayes Noel, and Bob Gurnsey played the first organized recorded game with people shooting paintballs at each other. There are stories of ranchers and forestry workers shooting them at each other, but none of the stories are verified.

Something that coin collectors use to recover worn off markings on coins is a chemical called Nicodate that could be used on nickles. It might be worth a try. A forensic expert might use acid etching or various scans to recover the number, but that kind of service will likely be expensive.
