Abstract:
An electro-pneumatically operated kit assembly for connection to a paint ball gun body, said body having a first bore for receiving a paint ball, a second bore with a through passageway therebetween, a feed inlet open to the first bore and communicating with a supply of paint balls, said assembly comprising;a first and second rod; a moveable bolt connected to one end of the first rod and configured for disposition in the first bore and for selectively sealing and unsealing the feed inlet; a moveable hammer connected to one end of the second rod and configured for disposition in the second bore and for selectively sealing and unsealing the through passageway between said first and second bores; means for selectively moving the bolt within the first bore and means for selectively moving the hammer within the second bore, wherein said bolt and hammer move independently relative to each other, wherein the means for selectively moving the bolt and hammer comprises a gas distribution system having a pair of solenoid valves, one of the pair of solenoid valves adapted for selectively directing pressurized air to one side or other side of said first rod for driving said bolt between an extended and retracted position, and the other of the pair of solenoid valves adapted for selectively directing pressurized air to one side or other side of said second rod for driving said hammer between an extended and retracted position.
