Abstract: An improved poppet valve system, preferably for use with a paintball marker. The poppet valve system includes a chamber having an inner surface and a piston having a first end and a second end substantially opposite the first end. The first end is positioned for selective contact by a hammer. The piston also includes first and second sealing faces that sealingly engage the inner surface of the chamber when the hammer is not in contact with the piston. A biasing member acts against the second end of the piston. When the hammer contacts the first end of the piston, the hammer overcomes force imparted by the biasing member against the piston in order to disengage the first sealing face from the inner surface of the chamber.
