How to Load a Paintball Gun

Video Transcript

"This is Robert Stewart with hill13.com. Now it's time to feed the beast. It's time to load your paintball gun. Now you open the top up. You've got your hopper firmly attached to the weapon. And make sure. It has a little indent on the inside of it. So you can tell when it's firmly in there. When you're loading your weapon calmly by the gun hut, off the field, it's a pretty straight forward thing. There you go. You have paint. Now when you're loading under fire it can be a little bit different. One thing you ought to remember is if you can have a team mate cover you while you reload, that is best. I've been shot several times while trying to reload my paint so I say that from personal experience. The other thing to remember again is that when you're loading paint on the field, even if it's just a couple of balls, the ones that hit the ground, they're not worth picking up and putting back into your weapon. Because when those rounds get inside the cyclone feed if they've got any debris on them you're probably done and you're probably headed back up to clean your weapon."
