Q: What is a remote line on a paintball gun?
A: A remote line is a flexible air hose that connects a paintball gun to a compressed air tank carried on the player's back or attached to a harness. This setup allows for a lighter and more balanced paintball gun, as the player does not have to carry the tank directly on the gun. It provides better maneuverability and comfort during play.
Q: What does a slide check do?
A: A slide check is a device used in paintball remote systems that allows players to quickly disconnect and reconnect their remote line without losing air pressure. It enables players to safely and easily switch between using the remote line and a direct connection to the air tank. When the slide is activated, it seals the air supply, preventing air loss during disconnection.
Q: What is a remote coil in paintball?
A: A remote coil is a type of remote line designed with a coiled, flexible hose. This design allows the line to stretch and recoil, providing flexibility and reducing tangling or snagging during movement. Remote coils are often preferred for their compactness and convenience when connected to a paintball gun.
Q: What are the modes on a paintball gun?
A: The modes on a paintball gun typically refer to the firing modes available to the player, which can include:
- Semi-Automatic: Fires one shot with each trigger pull.
- Burst Fire: Fires a predetermined number of shots with a single trigger pull (e.g., three-shot burst).
- Automatic: Fires continuously as long as the trigger is held down.
- Ramp Mode: Starts in semi-automatic and then ramps up to automatic firing after a certain rate of fire is achieved.
- Millennium Mode: A specific mode used in tournament play that allows for certain ramping rules.
Q: What is a line throwing gun?
A: A line throwing gun is a specialized device used to launch a lightweight line or rope over a distance. These guns are typically used in marine or rescue operations to establish a line between two points, such as between ships or from the shore to a vessel. The line allows for the transfer of heavier ropes or equipment for towing, mooring, or rescue purposes.
