Determine whether your paintball gun has different firing modes. Many of the more expensive electric guns can change to a fully automatic firing mode by simply opening the grips and changing the settings. Many of the mid-range and upper-range paintball guns have LED lights to allow the user to switch to a different firing mode. Some of the most expensive guns even have LCD screens. If this is the case then checking the manual that came with the gun will show you how to change modes.
