A paintball marker or paintball gun is the primary device used in the game of paintball to mark an opposing player. It uses a rapidly expanding gas (usually CO2 or compressed air) to force a paintball through a barrel with a muzzle velocity of approximately 300 ft/s (91 m/s). This velocity is sufficient for most paintballs to break upon impact at a distance, but not fast enough to cause tissue damage beyond mild bruising. Because being hit in an eye by a paintball can result in permanent blindness or visual impairment, it is important that players always wear proper eye and face protection when around a paintball marker. Nearly every commercial paintball field has a rule limiting the muzzle velocity of a paintball to 300 ft/s or less, and strictly enforces rules requiring certified eye and face protection while on the field.
A marker has four main components. These are: Body, Hopper, Tank, Barrel.
The vast majority of modern paintball markers have the previous components. There is, however, a strong following of stock-class players who use markers with a purposely low rate of fire and ammo capacity. Stock-class guns are usually pump-action paintball guns powered by either 12-gram CO2 cartridges or small CO2 tanks. Also note the trend in using the term "marker" instead of "gun": this is to lessen the public view of paintball as a dangerous sport and paintball markers as weapons. The term "marker" came from their original use: marking trees and wandering cattle. Markers were designed so that farmers and foresters could more conveniently mark trees and cattle, such as from moving vehicles and across rivers
