Patent number: 8418682Abstract: The plural option loading system for a pneumatic gun. The pneumatic gun has a receiver with the first and second loading port disposed to permit loading either by gravity or forced loading such as from a magazine. The barrel can be locked to the receiver to permit loading through only one of the two ports depending on the orientation in which it is locked to the receiver and permits selective loading through only a selected port at any time.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2011Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Assignee: Kingman International CorporationInventor: Fabrice N. V. Halmone

Patent number: 8286622Abstract: A compact paintball marker having a valve with a blow back hole and reservoir. The blow back hole and reservoir increase the percentage of the compressed gas that is released in response to a trigger pull that is utilized to push the striker back to a cocked position. This improves the reliability of the automatic re-cocking of the marker even when there is low pressure from the compressed gas source.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2009Date of Patent: October 16, 2012Assignee: Kingman International CorporationInventor: Fabrice N.

Patent number: 8286621Abstract: The pneumatically powered projectile launching device has a bolt located within a body. A front gas chamber in the body has an opening through which the bolt extends into the chamber. The bolt can move forward and backward thereby changing the volume of the front chamber. The bolt has a backward facing working surface. A gas valve in the body selectively releases compressed gas into the chamber. The released gas applies pressure on the backward facing working surface of the bolt to move the bolt forward, and then passes through a passage in the bolt to pneumatically force the projectile to leave the device. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2011Date of Patent: October 16, 2012Assignee: Kingman International CorporationInventor: Fabrice N. V. Halmone

Patent number: 7866310Abstract: A pneumatic gun with easily removable bolt. A bolt is coupled to a bolt pin to be introduced into the rear of a receiver of the pneumatic gun. The striker defines a notch to receive the bolt pin the notch is open ended towards the rear of the gun. A cap is coupled to the striker so that it can rotate between an open orientation and a closed orientation. In the open orientation, the cap defines a slot that aligns with the notch of the striker to permit the bolt pin to enter the notch and the closed orientation of the cap captures the striker within the notch so that the striker and bolt move as a unit.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2009Date of Patent: January 11, 2011Assignee: Kingman International CorporationInventor: Fabrice N.

Publication number: 20100126486Abstract: A compact paintball marker having a compact trigger assembly. The trigger assembly includes a trigger, a sear, a sear activator and a connecting cable. The sear is position distally relative to the trigger. This enables the sear to be positioned apart from the trigger. The trigger assembly also includes a sear activator, a sear activator spring and a sear biasing spring. The components of the trigger assembly can be compactly organized to enable the marker to have a smaller form factor.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 26, 2008Publication date: May 27, 2010Applicant: Kingman International CorporationInventors: Fabrice N.V.

Patent number: 7621265Abstract: A compact paintball marker having an internal paintball holding mechanism, internal compressed gas holding mechanism and distributed striker mechanism. The strike mechanism is divided between two compartments with the striker in a proximal compartment and a biasing mechanism in the distal compartment. The striker is coupled to the biasing mechanism by a striker shaft that may be disposed at least partially external to the housing of the marker.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2009Date of Patent: November 24, 2009Assignee: Kingman International CorporationInventor: Fabrice N.
