![]() ![]() When firing, the loaded ball is immediately propelled, the bolt/breech opens to load the next round, and the bolt then closes to complete its cycle. Closed bolt: the marker rests idle with a ball already advanced into the start of the barrel and its breech is in the forward/closed position.Examples: Tippmann A5/98 Eclipse Ego/Etek To fire, the bolt advances the next-loaded ball into the barrel then releases air to fire it in one swift motion, afterwards the bolt opens up to accept the next round automatically. Open bolt: the marker breech and bolt are opened when idle, common with semiautomatic markers.Bolt positions: Most markers can be classified by the position of the bolt/breech when idle, called either open bolt or closed bolt.Some designs will fit within multiple categories, and some categories are subdivisions of others. Remember! Markers often fit into multiple categories and many design aspects are borrowed from one-another. Sequence of firing movements, if applicable. Type of air inlet restriction, if applicable (spool valve inlet, force-controlled poppet, or air constriction)ĥ. Type of firing valve (spool valve bolt, or force-controlled poppet that happens before or after bolt movement)Ĥ. How the bolt is reset after firing (balanced 4way, blowback, spring return, etc)ģ. How the bolt is controlled (mechanical, balanced 4way triggering valve, unbalanced, etc)Ģ. An animation or diagram of each system is provided for visual purposes, then markers are described by the these variables:ġ. To solve this problem, I've now created the giant listing below. There are simply too many overlapping designs it's virtually impossible to create a single categorization system. Welcome to the new marker animations listing! Over the years I've attempted to organize markers into an easy classification method, but was never able to make a universal chart.
