Abstract: A paintball hopper for a paintball gun with light source. The hopper can include a housing and a hopper tray. The hopper tray can be removably inserted into an inner volume of the hopper. The hopper can include a light source that can charge luminescent or glow in the dark material of paintballs in the hopper. The light source can be positioned in the housing and/or the hopper tray.

Abstract: A paintball hopper for a paintball gun with one or more removable cameras. The hopper can include a housing with one or more windows. The one or more removable cameras can be inserted into an inner volume of the housing so the one or more removable cameras are positioned to capture image data through the one or more windows. The one or more windows can be removably coupled to the housing so the windows can be replaced if the one or more windows are dirty or damaged. In some embodiments, the one or more removable cameras can be coupled to an outer surface of the housing. The housing can include a display configured to display image data from the one or more removable cameras.

Abstract: A feed neck module that is easily attached or detached to a toy gun and a loader. The feed neck module has a mounting bracket for the toy gun and threads for the loader. The mounting bracket and threads are compatible with a variety of different toy guns and loaders. Furthermore, the feed neck module has a conduit which allows projectiles (paintballs, airsoft BBs, gel balls, etc.) to travel from the loader to the toy gun. The conduit may include a funnel to control the flow of the projectiles. The projectiles may be made of a luminescent material (e.g., the projectiles glow in the dark). Furthermore, the feed neck module may have a UV light source that radiates light onto the projectiles as they travel through the conduit. The UV light source may fully charge the projectiles before the projectiles enter the toy gun.

Abstract: A feeder cover for a paintball loader with fins that allow paintballs to enter, but not exit, the paintball loader. The feeder cover can easily clip in and out of a spring-loaded hinge of the paintball loader. Additionally, the feeder cover has an open and closed position. When the feeder cover is in the closed position, the feeder cover covers an opening of the paintball loader. The feeder cover has an opening that is partially blocked by fins. The fins of the feeder cover may have spring-loaded hinges that allow the fins to go from a closed position to an open position. Paintballs traveling into the paintball loader may push the fins from the closed position to the open position. The fins are individually removable and replaceable.

Abstract: A barrel assembly for a paintball gun includes a first barrel portion, a second barrel portion, and an insert. The insert is inserted into and positioned within bores of the first barrel portion and the second barrel portion. The first barrel portion and the second barrel portion include corresponding connection mechanisms that allow the first barrel portion and the second barrel portion to removably couple with one another. The insert includes a ridge that is fixed positioned between the first barrel portion and the second barrel portion when the first barrel portion and the second barrel portion are coupled. The first barrel portion and the second barrel portions can receive inserts with different bore sizes (e.g., inner diameter).

Abstract: A paintball pod for filling a hopper of a paintball gun with paintballs includes an annular collar with a valve that selectively closes an outlet opening of the pod. An alignment ring is connected around the hopper inlet. When the pod and hopper inlet are operatively aligned, the valve opens (automatically) and paintballs are dispensed from the pod into the hopper. The collar also includes a ratchet member connected to the valve and lock member(s) (e.g., magnetic lock(s)) that engages the ratchet member to retain the valve in a closed position. When the collar is operatively aligned with the alignment ring a magnetic force is applied by the alignment ring on the lock member, causing the lock member to retract and allowing the ratchet member to rotate to a home position and open the valve member.

Abstract: A swab device for cleaning the barrel of a paintball gun has a first shaft, a second shaft and a flexible connector overmolded over ends of the first and second shafts to fixedly couple the flexible connector to the first and second shafts. Absorbent material can be disposed over the first and second rods. The flexible connector can be made of rubber or silicone. The flexible connector is configured to flex and to automatically return to an original linear orientation after the flexible connector has been flexed. The flexible connector can have one or more openings on a surface thereof that facilitate flexion of the flexible connector.

Abstract: A paintball harness has a support plate with a rear surface that faces toward a user's lower back when the harness is worn by the user. A pair of primary straps extend from opposite ends of the back plate and can extend about the user's waist and removably couple to each other when the harness is worn by the user. The harness has a pair of secondary straps attached to the rear surface of the support plate and extend through a pair of openings in the support plate. At least a portion of the pair of secondary straps are elastic, the pair of secondary straps configured to releasably couple to a front surface of the pair of primary straps. A plurality of holsters attach to the support plate, each holster defining a channel that resiliently receives at least a portion of a pod of paintballs therein.
