摘要:
An adapter assembly for releasably interconnecting a pressurized bottle (30) with a paintball marker, wherein the adapter assembly includes a piercing pin (80) moveable between retracted position and an extended position. The adapter assembly (40) includes an internally threaded female socket (62) for releasably engaging the pressurized bottle (30) and an externally threaded male head (72) for releasably engaging a corresponding female connector on the paintball marker. The spacing of the threaded connections and the travel of the piercing pin (80) are selected such that the piercing pin punctures a frangible seal (36) of the pressurized bottle (30) subsequent to fluid interconnection of both the pressurized bottle and the paintball marker with the adapter assembly.
