Abstract: A projectile core is provided formed from a carrier and a colorant. The carrier and colorant are mixed into a core mixture, which is formed into a predetermined core shape. The core mixture is cured until substantially firm, such as by drying, heating or freezing. An outer layer may be formed adjacent the surface of the projectile core by heating. An outer coating may also be applied to the projectile core. A method of forming a projectile core comprises: (a) mixing a carrier and a colorant to form a core mixture; (b) forming the core mixture into a predetermined core shape; and, (c) curing the core mixture until a substantially firm projectile core is formed.

Abstract: An improved paintball feed mechanism for a paintball loader is disclosed, including a drive shaft and a motor for actuating the drive shaft. At least on rigid projection is provided connected to the drive shaft by an elastic member. The elastic member is formed so that it will bend when the rigid projection encounters a jammed or stationary paintball in the paintball loader, thus preventing paintball breakage.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an electronically controlled paintball marker with magnetic control, having a trigger in communication with an electronic controller and a bolt configured to reciprocate in response to a magnetic force applied to a portion of the bolt during a firing sequence. Actuation of the trigger initiates a firing sequence activating electromagnets controlled by the electronic controller.

Abstract: A golf swing training device. The training device provides audible indications of the orientation of the club face as it reaches a point where a ball would be positioned, thereby helping a golfer develop a swing where the club face meets the ball squarely. The audible indication tell the golfer if the club face is open, closed, or square to the ball at the moment of impact. An unsmooth swing can be detected during upswing or downswing, and an indication of such is provided. A pendulum is provided in the club head with a pair of sensors located on either side of the pendulum to sense the position of the pendulum. A velocity switch senses the peak velocity of the club and activates an electronic circuit at that point so that outputs of the pair of sensors provide data which indicate the orientation of the club face at the moment of peak velocity. The audible indication of the club orientation is provided based upon the output of these sensors.
