Patent ID: 7806113

Claim:
A compressed gas projectile accelerator, comprising: a velocity adjustment mechanism configured to allow said compressed gas projectile accelerator to expel projectiles between a maximum velocity setting and a minimum velocity setting, said velocity adjustment mechanism including a velocity controller configured to only allow a user to selectively select a velocity setting between a first velocity setting falling below said maximum velocity setting and said minimum velocity setting, said velocity adjustment mechanism including a flow restriction member configured to selectively restrict an amount of compressed gas used to expel projectiles as a function of said velocity setting, where said velocity controller is connected with said flow restriction member and is configured to be adjusted between said first velocity setting and said minimum velocity setting thereby setting said compressed gas projectile accelerator at a respective velocity setting, said velocity adjustment mechanism including a dial, said dial including a plurality of apertures located about a circumference of said dial, where a first stopping member placed in a first aperture of said plurality of apertures is used to set said first velocity setting and a second stopping member placed in a second aperture of said plurality of apertures is used to set said minimum velocity setting, where said first and second stopping members restrict movement of said velocity controller beyond said first and second stopping members.
