ABSTRACT:
An improved magazine for fragile projectiles such as pellets or paint balls, wherein the front end of a rotating drive member is formed with elongated fingers to form individual chambers to feed the projectiles one by one out of the magazine synchronously with the firing of the gun. An escapement member operated by some portion of the gun permits rotation of the carrier within the housing of the magazine, one projectile distance at time, to cooperate with the elongated fingers and an exit ramp formed in the front end cap of the magazine. The projectiles do not contact each other radially while in the magazine.
