Hit the Target With a Planet Eclipse Geo Paintball Gun

Paintball has taken the world by storm and Planet Eclipse is one of the premier paintball gun manufacturers. A number of options from the Planet Eclipse Geo Series are available new and used on eBay.

Basic design features of all paintball guns

There are a few universal design features that all paintball guns have. Knowing about them will be helpful in selecting the right paintball gun for you:

Body - The body, usually made of lightweight aluminum, is what contains the components of the gun's firing mechanism: the trigger bolt and valve. The cocking knob is pulled back to cock the gun for each shot, but the Venturi bolt, which fires the ball from the barrel, only has to be cocked once. The body also has a safety switch to keep the gun from firing when you don't intend it to fire.
Hopper - The hopper or loader is the way in which paintballs are loaded into the gun. The hopper feeds paintballs into the firing chamber. There are four basic types of hoppers: stick feeds, gravity feeds, agitating hoppers, and force-feeds.
Compressed Air Tank - This holds the compressed gas that fires the paintballs. There are two basic types of air tanks: carbon dioxide and high-pressure air.
Barrel - The barrel directs the paintball's release when fired. Most barrels are anywhere between 3 and 21 inches long. The barrel's bore must be an exact match to the size of the paintballs you plan to use, and you should make sure there are no imperfections in the bore or the gun may misfire.
