A best paintball gun (also known as paintball marker) is used to mark opposing players with paint. There are four types of best paintball guns and they are classified according to their firing modes. These are pump action guns, semi-automatic guns, fully automatic guns and ramping-mode guns.
In the early days of paintball, all guns were pump action. Semi-automatic guns were designed so that when the trigger is pushed down, a shot will be fired and the bolt moves back automatically to load the new paintball in position for the next trigger pull. This allows the player to increase firing frequency and accuracy because he will not have to manually pump the gun.
The Tippman SMG was the first to feature a fully-automatic gun.Ramping-mode guns are guns that can fire up to 15 shots per second. This type of gun prevents abuse from semi-automatic guns or fully-automatic guns that can shoot more and can cause injury to other people. Pump action guns promote using stealth and are desired by experienced players because of the challenge they present. Fully automatic guns are used by infantry and middle men in attacking another team's base.

What Are Paintball Markers?
Paintball is a game where markers or guns are filled with non-lethal paint put in gel-like capsules which basically are used to shoot opponents. These markers are propelled by compressed gas. Markers for trails, trees and cows.
Believe it or not, the use of these markers started in the 70's when farmers and members of forest groups used them to mark trees as well as trails, and cattle. The guns used then were powered by gas. The guns were then modified to control the speed as well as the power of the marker.
The first paintball marker:
Ironically, the first ever paintball marker was not called a paintball marker and was not even used for paintball.
The first paintball gun:
The first and only gun designed especially for paintball was called Splatmaster was invented by a man named Robert Shepherd who was issued a patent on July 3,1985. Later on, markers know as electro-pneumatic guns were developed.
The first paintball marker that is washable:
A specially designed marker with a washable fluid placed inside of soft gelatin capsules was invented by a man named George Skogg: the patent was officially granted on January 6,1987. Paintball markers have become user and player friendly through the years.
Hooray for paintball!
