Do you mean Sears not sear. It would help if you stated the model number. Without that it is not very easy to answer your question, if it is a SEARS model. But I can give you this bit of information.

What is a solenoid on a paintball gun?

The solenoid can refer to two things: The solenoid on electrically assisted sear tripper markers (like a Tippmann with electric trigger) the solenoid is an electro magnet that moves a long pole that trips the sear that fires the gun. A solenoid valve is an electronically controlled valve (like on a Smart parts ion, or any gun you don't have to cock) it uses electric current to open and close.
