What is the longest lasting paintball gun?

You could mean what is the longest production run, longest model run etc. but I'll assume you are referring to durability. Arguably the most durable paintball gun is the Tippmann line of guns, generally the 98 Custom and A-5 model variants. These guns are mechanical paintball markers with heavy steel frames and no electronic parts. They are popular as rental guns and amongst "woodsball" players who want a mil-sim appearance and may require durability for long scenario games.

What is considered a firearm?

The term "firearm" means different things depending on how it is applied. Federal law has contradicting definitions for the term "firearm" Under one definition, a "firearm" is a NFA weapon that requires the payment of a $200 tax. Under another definition, it is something that fires projectiles using a self contained cartridge that is loaded from the breech, and was made after a certain date in the 1890s. For instance, under federal law, some of the Mauser rifles are not "firearms", even though they work basically the same as a modern hunting rifle because they were made in the 1880s. State laws could define "firearm" differently. For instance, I believe some states include muzzle-loading rifles and pistols in the definition of "firearm", whereas the federal government doesn't. Another thing to consider is that the BATFE sometimes reclassifies items that were previously not considered firearms. The Akins Accelerator is a stock that was classified as a "machine gun", ie "firearm". Suppressors, which are muzzle devices that reduce noise pollution created by firearms, but don't fire bullets themselves, are considered "firearms" under federal law. There are pieces of sheet metal that can be inserted into rifles to make them full auto. Those pieces of sheet metal are considered "firearms" by the ATF. In the definition that includes standard sidearms and long arms, the receiver is the part that is considered the "firearm". The rest of the parts are just parts, and for the most part are not regulated. To answer your question in detail, I would have to write a book because of all of the laws, regulations, definitions and classifications. If you want a more specific answer, ask a more specific question.

Does paintball hurt?

In general you can expect a paintball to sting (comparative to a thick rubber band snap to the back of the neck, but wherever you are hit), as they're normally shot at around 300 ft/ sec. Without clothes, paintballs will generally leave a welt.

Why was paintball invented?

Paintball markers evolved from the gas-powered guns used during the 1970s for other purposes, such as those used by forestry groups to mark trees and trails or by farmers to mark cattle. The guns had to be redesigned to regulate the power and speed for the safety of Paintball. The game of Paintball naturally evolved as the users of the marking guns started horsing around and aimed the guns and markers at one another. A milestone in the history of Paintball occurred in 1981 when twelve friends played a version of "Capture the Flag" using the tree-marking guns. The twelve friends decided to buy into a tree-marking gun manufacturer called Nelson and started promoting and selling the guns to the public for use with the new recreational sport. In 1982, the first Paintball field was opened in Rochester, New York.

Basically four friends thought that taking paint markers and using them to play capture the flag would be extremely fun and so the first paintball game was played!

What are rings in a paintball gun?

O-rings are used in paintball guns to seal off spaces, ensuring that air does not leak from the gun. You typically find an o-ring wherever two pieces of metal connect and air passes through. O-rings are a vital part of the paintball gun but periodically need to be replaced.

What is an inline bolt system on a paintball gun?

It means that the bolt and rear bolt are on on the same level, and are "in a line" with each other, from the barrel to the rear, used in many mechanical Tippmann style guns. It is opposed to a stacked design, where a bolt is put on top of a valve hammer.

The friction a paintball goes through?

I'm not exactly sure what you're getting at but I'll try. Paintballs go through the hopper, feedneck, chamber, barrel, and then any accessory you might have after the barrel. In the hopper and feedneck friction is not an issue however in the chamber and especially the barrel it becomes more important. A chamber that fits too loosely around the ball can cause inaccuracy but a chamber too small can slow or warp the ball. You have to get as little friction as you can while maintaining a fairly tight fit. Same things apply to the barrel. That's why barrel come in different bore sizes, to best match the paintball.

A second reason friction comes up in paintball debate is the sniper barrel length issue. Many companies advertise 20" sniper barrel!!! The trouble with that is a 20" barrel adds no more accuracy then a 14" barrel. All it does is add more friction and slows the ball.

^^^ agreed, in all reality the first 8" of a barrel is for accuracy, after that its all porting to quiet it down, iv seen a 8" barrel shoot just as accurately as a 20" but the 8 took a lot more co2 to use (due to the short distance the ball has to accelerate) and the 20 was much quieter (due to the vast amounts of porting

What hurts more air soft or paintball?

there is a lot more to it than just the projectile size and weight. either one can hurt more.

paintball has universally endorsed velocity limits set at 300fps which makes it safer (i will get to why in a bit)

airsoft has no velocity limits and some of the snipers can shoot upwards of 7-800 fps, there has been a few cases of people getting shot in the neck at close range from a sniper and bleeding out in the woods before help can arrive, typically snipers are supposed to not shoot anyone within 100ft but without any kind of universal rule on the fps there is no way to guarantee safety like you can for paintball

also while the airsoft projectile is smaller it also does not squish like a paintball will so it leaves a much smaller and deeper impact rather than a paintball which kind of deforms and spreads out its energy as it breaks (this is also why a paintball that bounces off of you hurts slightly more than a paintball that breaks, no break = contained energy that is transferred to your skin rather than going out with the exploding paint)

i will say for the MaJoRiTy of airsoft guns out there that shoot right around 300fps or under the paintball will typically hurt more but the range and speed really are the determining factors in this question not just if it is an airsoft bb or a paintball that comes out of the barrel
