ABSTRACT:
A paint ball gun includes an agitator mounted on the end of a rotary motor shaft. The agitator has a main shaft that extends transverse to the motor shaft, and two arch wires extending from the main shaft. Each arch wire begins at an end of the agitator shaft and extends vertically therefrom. The arch wires then wrap downward in a partial helix. The end of the arch wires opposite the vertical ends attach to the agitator shaft in a horizontal plane more centrally along the agitator shaft. Rotation of the motor shaft is controlled by an electronic circuit having a duration control which delays turning off the motor for a predetermined interval. The motor will remain activated continuously during a rapid firing sequence. In addition, a magnetic sensor is disclosed to trigger the electronic circuit into energizing the motor. The combination of sensor trigger, duration control and agitator design provide a greatly enhanced paint ball gun capable of operating without jamming or undesired noise during non-firing periods. In addition, the paint ball gun may be capable of rapidly firing more paint balls than previously known in the art, with reduced battery drain.
