Terminology

[Hunted]

Hello all,

I have been reading up on these forums for quite some time now.
But unfortunately, all these jargons actually confuse me after some reading.

So, If any of you have any links to a website that has a comprehensive listing of all terminology used to describe a certain part of a marker;goggles;CO2;Air; etc it would be greatly appreciated.

I am visiting quite a few websites to understand what parts, and which parts are needed to complete a working marker.
i.e. I realized that having only a marker with a hopper without an elbow could be a pain.

Thanks in advance.

Just had a little look through... this made me laugh so i though i should share it with u all!


Mark
Politically correct term for `hit'. As in "Hey, I marked your ass, my marker shoots straight, mark me and mark my words". Another word used is tag. If it was up to me I would suggest `betoken' as the PC word for hit. My thesaurus says it is a synonym for `mark'. As in "Marshal, get him out of there, he's betokened, I betokened him on the hopper!"

Marker
Politically correct term for Paintball gun. Otherwise known as a betokener
(see mark).
