Chrono, used here, means to check the velocity at which a marker is firing by using a chronograph. Radar chronographs are the most widely used chrono's today. The radar chronograph uses a small doppler radar to measure the velocity of a paintball. The radar picks up the paintball and records the speed of the ball on a digital display. Chronographs can be stationary or hand held.
A "hot" marker occurs when the velocity that it fires paintballs exceeds that particular field's set limits. Velocity limits vary by field but should never exceed 300 Feet Per Second.
A player is "posted" on you when they are aware of your location and have assumed a position to eliminate you when you break your cover.
A "bunkering" move is when a player leaves their bunker, rushes another occupied bunker, and eliminates that player from close proximity without being eliminated first.
A player is said to be in your "mirror" when they are in the same bunker location as you but on the opposite half of the field.
