Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of firearms, and in particular to a double-row ammunition feeding magazine for a paintball gun and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The existing paintball gun magazine generally holds 20 rounds. Since the diameter of the paintball gun bullet is about 17.3 mm, the height of 20 rounds arranged in a straight line reaches 346 mm, resulting in a single straight channel magazine height of at least 400 mm. Such a magazine installed on the gun seriously affects the shooting operation. At present, in order to solve this problem, some magazines design the bullet channel into a U shape, thereby shortening the magazine height. However, the magazine structure of the U-shaped channel is relatively complex and the operation is cumbersome. Generally, a ratchet is required to compress the support spring through the ratchet before loading. In addition, the turning radius of the U-shaped channel cannot be too small. Although the U-shaped magazine can reduce the magazine height, it will cause the front and rear width of the magazine to be larger. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a double-row magazine for a paintball gun and a method of using the same, which can increase the capacity of the magazine within a limited volume and has the function of switching between different types of ammunition.

[0004] The object of the present invention is achieved in that:

[0005] A double-row magazine for a paintball gun.

[0006] The magazine body comprises two independent and parallel single channels, each of which is provided with a supporting spring and a supporting seat in order from bottom to top, and a limited spring piece is provided at the upper feeding port of each single channel, and a bullet storage space is provided between the limited spring piece and the supporting seat.

[0007] The limiting spring piece is arc-shaped, and an arc-shaped groove is provided on the magazine body. The limiting spring piece is matched in the arc-shaped groove, and the limiting spring piece can slide along the arc-shaped groove. The limiting spring piece has a limiting position and a yielding position. A limiting spring is installed in the arc-shaped groove. Under normal conditions, under the action of the limiting spring, the limiting spring piece is located at the limiting position, and the upper end of the concave arc surface of the limiting spring piece forms a limit for the projectile. A lug is provided on the convex arc surface of the limiting spring piece, and the lug is used to cooperate with a block set on one side of the paintball gun magazine. The block limits the limiting spring piece in the yielding position, so that the projectile can escape from the corresponding single channel.

[0008] Preferably, sliding ear plates are provided on both sides of the limiting spring sheet, the sliding ear plates are slidably fitted in the arc-shaped groove, the arc-shaped groove defines the limit position of the sliding ear plates, and the sliding ear plates are fitted with the limiting springs.

[0009] A method for using a double-row magazine for a paintball gun,

[0010] Initial state: projectiles are loaded into the two single channels of the magazine, the two single channels are channel A and channel B respectively, and the bullet heads of the projectiles face outwards. At this time, the limiting spring is located at the limiting position under the action of the limiting spring, and the upper end of the concave arc surface of the limiting spring limits the projectiles;

[0011] The process of feeding bullets in channel A: insert the magazine into the magazine of the paintball gun from bottom to top, and the block on the magazine blocks the lug on the limit bullet piece, thereby releasing the limit bullet piece of channel A. After the magazine is fully inserted into the magazine of the paintball gun, the block limits the limit bullet piece in the yielding position, and the projectiles in channel A are discharged upward under the action of the support spring, while there is no block on the magazine where channel B is located, the limit bullet piece will not be released, and the projectiles in channel B will not be discharged;

[0012] Switch the feeding channel: When the bullets in channel A are fired, pull the magazine out of the magazine and rotate it 180°, then insert it into the magazine again. Channel B loaded with bullets will repeat the feeding process of channel A.

[0013] Preferably, projectiles of the same specifications but different varieties are installed in a single channel.

[0014] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This magazine structure mainly solves the contradiction between the magazine capacity and the external dimensions of large-sized projectiles. It can shorten the length of a magazine with the same amount of ammunition by about half, realize double-row storage and two-row independent ammunition supply. This structure can increase the capacity of the magazine within a limited volume. At the same time, due to the two independent feed ports, it has the function of switching between different types of ammunition, and can quickly switch between different ammunition according to different shooting scenarios.

[0020] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 A double-row magazine for a paintball gun includes a magazine body 2, wherein the magazine body has two independent and parallel single channels, each of which is provided with a support spring 6 and a bullet support seat 5 from bottom to top, and a limited spring piece 3 is provided at the upper bullet feeding port of each single channel, and a bullet storage space is provided between the limited spring piece 3 and the bullet support seat 5.

[0021] The limiting spring piece 3 is arc-shaped, and the upper end of the concave arc surface (inner arc surface) of the limiting spring piece 3 is used to limit the projectile 4. The magazine body 2 is provided with an arc groove 7, and the limiting spring piece 3 is matched in the arc groove. The limiting spring piece 3 can slide along the arc groove. The limiting spring piece 3 has a limiting position (the upper end of the arc groove is the limiting position) and a yielding position. A limiting spring 1 is installed in the arc groove (the limiting spring is embedded in the arc groove 7 on the magazine body 2 in the figure). Under normal circumstances, under the action of the limiting spring 1, the limiting spring piece 3 is located at the limiting position to limit the projectile 4. A clamping protrusion is provided on the convex arc surface (outer arc surface), and the clamping protrusion is used to cooperate with a block 8 on the magazine. When the magazine is inserted upward from the bottom of the magazine, the block on the magazine limits the limiting spring piece in the yielding position, so that the projectile can escape from the corresponding single channel.

[0022] Sliding lugs 9 are provided on both sides of the limiting spring piece 3. The sliding lugs 9 are slidably fitted in the arc groove. The arc groove limits the limit position of the sliding lugs 9. The sliding lugs 9 are matched with the limiting spring 1. The upper end of the arc groove is the limit position. The sliding lugs 9 enable the limiting spring piece 3 to extend out of the arc groove, so that the upper end of the concave arc surface of the limiting spring piece 3 can limit the projectile 4.

[0023] The present invention not only reduces the height of the magazine, but also ensures that the front and rear width will not increase too much by splitting the single passage of 20 rounds into two independent and parallel single passages of 10 rounds. By setting two feeding ports, the magazine has the function of switching different types of bullets.

[0024] Working method:

[0025] 1. Initial state: Load the projectiles into the two channels of the magazine. At this time, the limit spring will limit the projectile reliably under the action of the limit spring.

[0026] 2. Feeding status of channel A: Insert the magazine into the magazine chamber, the block on the magazine releases the limit shrapnel of channel A, and the projectiles in channel A are discharged upward under the action of the support spring. However, since there is no block to release the limit shrapnel in channel B, the projectiles in channel B will not be discharged.

[0027] 3. Switch the feeding channel: When the projectiles in channel A are fired, pull the magazine out of the magazine chamber and rotate it 180°.

[0028] 4. B channel feeding status: rotate the magazine 180° and insert it into the magazine chamber again. At this time, the empty A channel is on the left, and the B channel with bullets releases the limit spring under the action of the block, and the bullets in the B channel are fed upward.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made in form and details without departing from the scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
