Abstract

A paintball gun having a power assisted trigger mechanism is described. The paintball gun includes a body portion defining a launching chamber, a pneumatic circuit for directing propellant gas into the launching chamber, a valve in the pneumatic circuit for controlling the release of propellant, a rotating motor coupled to the valve, a trigger sensor responsive to movement of the trigger, an electric power source, an electric circuit connecting the power source to the motor and a switch operably connected to the trigger sensor for controllably opening and closing the electric circuit.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] This invention relates to s paintball marking gun having a power assisted trigger. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Paintball marking guns are used in a variety of targeting and simulated battle games (e.g. capture the flag). These guns launch a ball of paint with a frangible shell that is designed to hold the ball shape until striking an object after firing. Upon striking the object, the ball is set to break open leaving a paint spot.

[0003] Paint-ball guns typically employ a firing system powered by compressed gas such as air. Compressed gas is supplied from a supply tank which is mounted to or carried with the gun. The gun systems are equipped with pressure regulators which receive gas from the tank at a relatively high pressure and deliver gas at a reduced, more consistent pressure for propelling the paintball.

[0004] Such paintball guns are available with either manual or power-assisted trigger mechanisms to control the release of compressed gas....
