Benefits of technology

[0022] It is another purpose of this invention to be used as a tool to help promote and market paintball as a sport and entertainment as well as allow less adventurous consumers to participate without the possibility of physical harm.

Problems solved by technology

The loader is designed only to feed a gun and be moved along with the gun, and it has no means for counting dispensed paintballs.
The carriers are designed only to feed a gun and have no means for counting dispensed paintballs.
However, all paintballs inevitably go to the same marker.
There is not a dispensing system to dispense paintballs to a plurality makers or a paintball counting mechanism to count the number of paintballs dispensed to each individual marker.
However, it merely cleans the barrel rather than any shooting range.

Embodiment Construction

[0033] The paintball shooting system for facilitating the practicing or playing of paintball markers(guns) include, alone or in combination, range transporting subsystem 100, a target subsystem 200, a paintball marker firing subsystem 300, a paintball dispensing subsystem 400, and a range cleaning subsystem 500. In particular, the paintball shooting system 10 can be fixed in one location or moveable to different location by being loaded on a trailer.

[0034] The range transporting subsystem 100 includes a 12′×30′ trailer loaded with all other subsystems positioned in a predetermined manner in the enclosed space such that they can be easily transported and put into operation at any locations as one unit. Any commercial available trailer can be modified to transport paintball shooting system 10. For example, Cargo Trailer Engineering offers (at http: / / www.haulmark.com / engineering / cargo1.asp) a model Elite II depicted in FIG. 1 which has a fiberglass roof cap 101 for styling and added p...

Abstract

A paintball shooting range includes a housing, a plurality of shooting booths each set with a paintball marker and located at a first end of the housing, a control area located at the first end of the housing and shielded with paintball-proof means, a target area set with targets and located at a second end opposite to the first end of the housing, and at least one of: (1) maker restraining means for mechanically restraining the movement of the paintball marker; (2) paintball dispensing means for selectively and automatically dispensing paintballs to the paintball marker; and (3) cleaning means for automatically cleaning at least the target area. In addition, a trailer may constitutes the housing and a truck for transporting the trailer.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The invention generally relates a paintball shooting system for facilitating the practicing or playing of paintball markers(guns) include, alone or in combination, a target subsystem, a paintball marker firing subsystem, a paintball dispensing subsystem, and a range cleaning subsystem, and a range transporting subsystem. In particular, the target range can be fixed in one location or moveable to different location by being loaded on a trailer. [0003] 2. DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ARTS [0004] Being fast paced and competitive, fun and safe, paintball is one of the fastest growing sports in America with more than seven million participants. [0005] U.S. Pat. No. 3,884,471 describes a shooting gallery including a gun pivotally mounted on a board connected with the targets which are hit via concealed pneumatic means rather than any pellets. In this case, there is no pellet to be shot or re-loaded, and there is not any paintba...
