Paintball Terminology

[jeevusmaximus]

I have just bought an Autococker and I want to know more about it and other markers. When someone says buy a reg, I wonder is it the one on the tank, or the vertical grip thing I hold the marker with?
If you guys could give me a lesson, I would much appreciate it because I am lost in the ways of regs, 3 ways, hammers etc!

Reg can refer to either one - just ask if any one says "do you mean the reg on the cocker or the tank reg?"

Thanx for that help Matski but I was refering to general names for parts and such.
To be quite frank, I didn't really want to know about your personal life. I realise that dry-firing may feel nice on certain parts of the body but I didnt need to know! (thanx for the tip! )

Your air tank screws into the air reg which then is connected by a hose to the inline reg which screws into the ASA. The front of you marker has 3 bits.

The 4 way (sometimes reffered to incorrectly as 3 way) is the one with the 3 hoses in it.

The Ram is the one connected by the long pump arm to the back block

The Front reg is the other one

Many people refer to the inline as the front reg. Not entirely correct but understandable and can be confusing as hell.I will be down on Sunday. Search me out and I'll tell you what each bit on the gun is.
