Today on the show "Deconstructed," a paintball gun's inner workings was explained. The marker that was "deconstructed" was a Tippmann A5. They covered every detail from how fast a marker shoots (200 mph), to how the trigger, bolt, valve and even how the patented cyclone feed works on the A5.
Overall it was a great 3 minute explanation on how a paintball marker works. For those that have wondered, give the video a watch below, you'll be glad you did!
