Have there been any books about paintball?

[Cloud-VII]

Are there any books that talk about paintball markers and how they are made? Ones with diagrams and what not. I dont want a book like "How to play painball" or "Paintball for dummies". I want a book that goes through the process of the creation of markers and what makes them tick. One that describes the air systems and things of that nature.

If not, are there any good websites? Ive been to the likes of WARPIG and what not, but they dont really get into what im looking for.

Unfortunately, no not really. Find a friend who knows how the guns work and get it explained to you, read lots of reviews and articles and you'll piece it together. At least, that's what I did and I can explain the workings of just about any marker (except for the nova, dont know and dont care :P ). There are a few diagams around the net that show the workings of an autococker and an angel, but I cant remeber where unfortunately

Actually, I own that book. It's a great book and I'd reccomend it to people wanting to learn about paintball, but in terms of the actual workings of the marker, the diagrams are pretty much useless. ie, a nice big complex diagram, with no explanation at all
