摘要： A volume restrictor can be provided for a pneumatic paintball gun to reduce the volume of compressed gas available within a compressed gas storage area for a firing operation of the paintball gun. In one embodiment, the volume restrictor includes a body having a forward end and a rearward end. A forward sealing member can be arranged on the forward end to seal around a bolt of the paintball gun. A rearward sealing member can be arranged on the rearward end of the body to seal against a rearward endwall of the compressed gas storage area. By placing the volume restrictor within the compressed gas storage area of the paintball gun, the volume of compressed gas available for a firing operation is reduced, thereby requiring an increased operating pressure to achieve the same paintball velocity. The increased chamber pressure can result in a shorter recharge time and less velocity drop off in successive shots. A set of volume restrictors can be provided to permit a user to selectively adjust the available volume of compressed gas in the compressed gas storage chamber. Other configurations of volume restrictors are also contemplated within this invention, for example, such as non-sealing volume restricting rings having various wall thicknesses.

摘要翻译： 可以提供用于气动彩弹枪的音量限制器，以减少压缩气体存储区域内可用的压射气体的体积，以进行彩弹枪的射击操作。 在一个实施例中，容积限制器包括具有前端和后端的主体。 前部密封构件可以布置在前端上，以围绕彩弹枪的螺栓进行密封。 后部密封构件可以布置在主体的后端以密封压缩气体存储区域的后端壁。 通过将音量限制器放置在彩弹枪的压缩气体存储区域内，可用于点火操作的压缩气体的体积减小，从而需要增加的操作压力以实现相同的彩弹速度。 增加的室压力可以导致更短的再充电时间，并且连续拍摄中的速度降低。 可以提供一组容积限制器以允许使用者选择性地调节压缩气体储存室中的压缩气体的可用体积。 在本发明中也可以设想体积限制器的其它构造，例如诸如具有各种壁厚的非密封容积限制环。

摘要： A paintball gun control system according to this invention includes an electronic circuit board configured to receive a sensor signal corresponding to a measured value of a paintball gun characteristic. The circuit board compares the measured value with a desired value. Based upon that comparison, the circuit board adjusts one or more characteristics of the paintball gun to bring the measured value into conformity with the desired value.

摘要： A pneumatic valve and regulator, and more particularly to a pneumatic valve and regulator used in a compressed gas powered gun system which is designed to project a fragile liquid-containing spherical unit which bursts upon impact with the intended target. The regulator possesses a pressure balancing device, a temperature compensating device, and relief valve features. The temperature compensator of the temperature compensating device is made of a synthetic compound material which expands and contracts at a rate that equals but is inverse to the rate of change caused by changes in the modulus of elasticity of a helical compression spring caused by a temperature differential. The valve possesses a seal made of pressure-activated material, the outer diameter of the seal is mechanically captured, the inner diameter of the seal is not constrained from moving into the cavity. The application of pressure the initiates flow characteristics of the seal at the interface of the inner diameter of the seal and the outer diameter of the poppet. This sealing technique has inherent lubricity, is self-healing, is non-temperature sensitive, and is compatible with all noble gases used.

摘要： An improved barrel for guns which do not have standard internal rifling is disclosed. The barrel has a plurality of apertures which extend a first longitudinal distance along the barrel from the muzzle end toward the breech end. The apertures may define a pair of parallel helixes. The sum of the cross-sectional areas of all apertures in the barrel exceeds the cross-sectional area of the barrel itself. Additionally, each aperture is bored at an angle so that its longitudinal axis defines an acute angle with a plane which is tangent to the barrel and which intersects the aperture. The apertures expel ambient air from the barrel and allow for expansion of compressed gas to stabilize a projectile, such as a paintball, thereby improving the accuracy of the gun. The barrel may also include two-staged honing, as well as a removable choke adjacent the breech end of the barrel.
