There are three basic types of markers used to play paintball, which include: Stock Class – Holds 10-15 balls and is powered by CO2 capsules (which can propel 20-30 balls). Pump Action – Holds 50-200 balls and is powered by a CO2 cylinder (which propels 350-400 balls) Semi-Automatic – Holds 100-300 balls and is powered by a CO2 Cylinder or Nitrogen (which propels 200-1100 balls). Players carry extra tubes of paintballs in special packs. These “packs” range in size from 40 to 1400 round capacity.
