Abstract: A trigger assembly comprises a trigger frame having a body with a cavity therein, a handle connected to the body, a trigger guard on the body defining a space with which a portion of the cavity is in communication, a connection member on the body, a slot member on the body, and abutment surfaces within the cavity. It also comprises a trigger pivotably mounted and movable within the trigger frame and comprising a body portion, a pivot connection means on the body portion connectable to the connection member of the body, a lever extending from the body portion for contact by a user, an engagement portion for engaging a firing mechanism to initiate discharge, and a rod connection means associated with the body portion for connecting the trigger to a rod to initiate re-arming.

Abstract: An internal reset system for paint ball markers. A hammer body as modified rearwardly to include an axial opening to receivably retain the forward head of a reset rod. The forward portion of the reset rod is thus free to reciprocate within the axial opening, but restrained, during the reset phase, when the head of the reset rod internally encounters a flange at the rear of the axial opening. In this phase the reset rod carries the hammer to the reset position, compressing a spring, where it is retained by the trigger sear ready for the next firing. The rear end of the reset rod is affixed to a back block that mechanically connects the modified hammer assembly and the marker bolt. In one embodiment the hammer is modified by a hammer sleeve, attached rearwardly to the hammer body and having an axial opening for the head of the reset rod.
