Abstract

A paintball gun having a rearwardly removable pneumatic assembly is provided. The pneumatic assembly preferably comprises a bolt and a bolt housing. A pneumatic cylinder is preferably arranged within a body of the paintball gun to receive the pneumatic assembly. A rearward opening is preferably provided in the body to provide access to the pneumatic cylinder for positioning and removal of the pneumatic assembly. The pneumatic assembly can be configured for removal with or without tools. In one embodiment, a cover plate can also be provided to cover the rearward opening in the body and prevent access to the pneumatic assembly until the cover plate is removed. A solenoid valve assembly is also provided having an upper and lower body section connected together through a tab and detent structure.

Description

[0001]This application claims priority from Provisional U.S. Patent Application Ser. Nos. 60 / 979,754 filed Oct. 12, 2007 and 60 / 981,299 filed Oct. 19, 2007, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]This invention relates generally to pneumatic paintball guns (“markers”) and their operating components. More particularly, this invention relates to a pneumatic paintball gun that permits rearward removal of the pneumatic components of the paintball gun.[0004]2. Related Art[0005]Modern paintball guns are generally capable of operating at high rates of fire. At high rates of fire, even when electronic sensors and other sophisticated equipment are used to prevent ball breaks in the breech of the paintball gun, ball breaks may occasionally occur. The internal paintball gun chambers and components may also need routine maintenance and / or lubrication. When a ball breaks in the breech of the pai...
