      Equip the paintball gun with a compressed air tank and an electric hopper. To walk the trigger of a paintball gun, the gun must be able to feed paintballs into the gun quickly. Also, compressed air is a very efficient and stable air source that will not change pressure with the temperature.

      Hold the gun in a shooting position that is comfortable and place the pointer finger and middle finger of one hand on the trigger of the paintball gun. To walk the gun, simply flip each finger back and alternate them as quickly as possible. The motion of the fingers will resemble a scissoring action.
