Abstract: A paintball marker has an inline cylinder that includes a gas governor that reduces gas flow from a compressed gas source to a valve area when the bolt is in a firing position; this increases efficiency in the marker because only the required air is used to fire the paintball. This bolt operates independent of the valve pin, which increases cycle speed and enables the governor to open and close at an optimum time in the firing cycle. Further, when the bolt/piston is recocking, the gap between the valve pin and governor valve pin enables low pressure gas driving the piston to start pressurizing the cylinder and driving the piston rearwards without resistance from the high pressure gas. The marker also allows a user to remove the inline cylinder without tools, and provides a convenient carrying handle for holding the paintball marker, which is commonly called a “snatch grip.

Abstract: An air gun includes a retainer pivotably connected inside the air gun and having a bullet abutment part that pivots into and out of a bullet-receiving chamber. The retainer is resiliently biased to pivot in a forward direction so that the bullet abutment part is urged into the bullet-receiving chamber. In a trigger rest position, a hollow inner barrel prevents a bullet and the bullet abutment part from entering into the bullet-receiving chamber. Upon pulling the trigger, the inner barrel moves in a forward direction to permit the bullet and the bullet abutment part to enter the bullet-receiving chamber where the bullet abutment part contacts and retains the bullet therein. Upon pulling the trigger further, the inner barrel moves in a rearward direction to capture the bullet therein while causing the retainer to pivot in the rearward direction to thereby move the bullet abutment part out of the bullet-receiving chamber.
