Abstract: An improved ON-OFF control for a paintball gun comprises sidewalls defining a transverse actuator socket, a gas inlet for fluid communication to a pressurized gas source and a gas outlet, and a spool received in the socket and movable between a first position wherein an internal passage is defined between the gas inlet opening and the gas outlet opening, and a second position wherein the flow of gas from the gas inlet is blocked and the gas outlet is vented to atmosphere.

Abstract: An improved pressure regulator suitable for use with paint ball guns comprises a hollow valve body and a valve mechanism for selectively releasing gas from a gas source to an output. The valve body has a unitary coupling portion, a fill port, an output port, a discharge opening, and an inlet opening. The valve body defines two confined flow passageways. The first connecting the plug chamber and the discharge opening. The second connecting the fill port and the inlet opening. The valve mechanism includes a regulator seat, a polymeric valve plug movable within the plug chamber for sealing engagement with the regulator seat, and a fluid barrier axially movable with respect to the valve body. A spring is provided for urging the fluid barrier toward the regulator seat.
