I think it is great that paintball is getting some good publicity from a major site. But I didn't get-

"Automatic guns use the compressed air, or in some cases an electric motor, to continually recock and fire the gun as long as the trigger is held down. To find out more about these sorts of guns, check out this site."

Well, you can't really expect them to get it right the first time....

and you could go on forever about how the various types of guns worked. Heh, they listed "autococker" paintball guns as its own type, like they were the only ones that recocked or something.
