  • Publication number: 20080099005
    Abstract: A pneumatic paintball marker has, for example, a bolt assembly with a boost feature. The bolt assembly has multiple air supply chambers which apply force to move the bolt towards the firing position. Preferably, the air supply chambers push the bolt in series. The marker includes a handgrip frame that has a rear portion that flows into the base of the body. The material of the rear portion preferably is a rubber. The bolt assembly includes a set screw so as to prevent the bolt assembly from rotating within the body. A pin depth of the airport component is user adjustable.

  • Publication number: 20070215134
    Abstract: The present invention contemplates a novel and unique pneumatic paintball marker with a variety of novel features the first being an on/off compressed air control valve at the front of the marker below the barrel adjacent to the inline pressure regulator. Major innovations have been made in reducing the size and weight of the body of the marker along with the construction of the new fuse bolt assembly consisting of just four components and only one moving part. An anti-chop eye electronic system insures the paintballs are in the proper position with the addition of rubber ball detents to hold the paintballs in place so that they will not roll out the barrel prior to firing the marker.

  • Patent number: 6962278
    Abstract: The harness of the present invention comprises a unitary waist-encircling supportive belt of largely elastic fabric adapted to receive and securely hold various numbers of paintball pods. A plurality of fabric layers are positioned to form a honeycomb of hollow pockets which, together with pod retainer clips, assume the configuration of, and securely hold, inserted paintball pods. The resulting configuration will accommodate a plurality of paintball pods of varying circumference, and affords the advantage that, as the wearer exhausts and discards pods in the course of a paintball game, the pockets collapse, the belt contracts, and the wearer becomes less encumbered.
