Abstract:
1. A paint-ball sport gun comprising: a) a receiver having a chamber coupled to a barrel; b) an advance mechanism attached to the gun for forcibly advancing a paint ball from the chamber into the barrel; c) a detent-assembly comprising a floating-detent with an outer tip; d) an adjustment means for moving the floating-detent between a first position and second position, wherein in said first position, said outer tip protrudes a first distance into said chamber, and wherein, in said second position, said outer tip does not protrude into said chamber, whereby, when said chamber contains a paint-ball, said outer tip in said first position restricts passage of said paint ball from said chamber into said barrel, and in said second position, said outer tip does not restrict passage of said paint-ball from said chamber to said barrel, said detent assembly further comprising a compression spring configured to urge said outer tip toward said first position, said floating detent having a substantially cylindrical shape and a hollow core with an open end, said compression spring being disposed within said hollow core; and, e) a securing means for fixing said detent-assembly to said chamber.
