  • Patent number: 5166457
    Abstract: A magazine for gravity feed of frangible, paint-containing projectiles into a gas operated gun comprises a generally closed hollow container with a smooth inner surface, a filling port positioned on its upper portion and an outlet port positioned on a lower most portion. A transfer tube is attached externally to the outlet port to communicate the outlet port to a feed port on the gun. A channel is formed along the mixer surface so that the channel will direct projectiles along its length by gravity to its terminus at the outlet port. A raised portion of the inner surface around a portion of the circumference of the outlet port effectively forms a dam precluding flow of projectiles into the outlet port from the portion of the circumference so blocked.
