Abstract:
A launcher for propelling projectiles out of a barrel using compressed gas. The receiver includes a grip with an opening for receiving a compressed gas cartridge. In some embodiments, the grip includes a door movable between an open position that allows the compressed gas cartridge to be removed from the opening, a closed position that retains the compressed gas cartridge in the opening, and an activation position where the door cooperates with a gas transfer mechanism to pierce the seal of the compressed gas cartridge to release gas. The door can be closed without piercing the seal, but a greater force can be applied to the door to pierce the seal.

Claim (Index 17):
A method of operating a projectile launcher, the method comprising the steps of:\n pivoting a door covering an opening in a grip of a projectile launcher to an open position that provides access to the opening; inserting a compressed gas cartridge into the opening in the grip; pivoting the door to a closed position with a first force to retain the compressed gas cartridge in the opening, wherein the first force is insufficient to move the door to an activation position that pierces the compressed gas cartridge; and applying a second force to the door to pivot the door past the closed position to the activation position that pierces the compressed gas cartridge, wherein the second force is greater than the first force.
