> most paintball markers are launched by a physical bolt slamming into the paintball This would destroy the paintball. The bolt loads the ball into the chamber, but actually moves backwards when fired to load another ball. The ball itself is propelled down the barrel by compressed nitro or CO2. http://www.deadlywind.com/paintball-animation http://www.deadlywind.com/paintball-animation
