Abstract:
A launcher with a digital range finder that controls the operation of a variable velocity control valve that controls the flow of compressed air delivered to the breech. The launcher includes internal air chamber that fills with compressed air and a restrictor plate housing located on one end of the air chamber. The housing includes a center bore axially aligned with the air chamber. Located inside the center bore is a motorized restrictor plate configured to permit or block the flow of air from the air chamber into the breech. During operation, distance readings from the range finder are processed by a main microprocessor into motor signals that selective rotate the restrictor plate to control the flow of pressurized air and control the distance the projectile travels. In a second embodiment, the launcher is used with a computer controlled ballistic that includes a secondary microprocessor coupled to the main processor that triggers a secondary explosion inside the projectile after being launched.

Claim (Index 1):
A launcher with a variable velocity valve system, comprising;\n a. a launcher with a compressed air or gun-power generating air source, said launcher includes a main body with an air cavity formed therein filled with pressurized air herein; b. a movable breech attached to said launcher configured to receive a ballistic and compressed air from said air cavity; c. a digital range finder configured to detect the distance from the launcher to a desired target, said digital range finder configured to produce a distance reading; d. a main microprocessor connected to said digital range finder configured to convert distance readings from said digital range finder into drive motor control signals; and e. a variable control valve assembly mounted on said main body that includes a restrictor plate housing with a center bore and with a restrictor plate mounted inside said center bore, said center bore aligned with said air cavity enabling pressurize air to flow through said restrictor plate housing, said restrictor plate configured to selectively rotate inside said center bore from a closed and opening position, said variable control assembly includes a drive motor coupled to said restrictor plate, said drive motor connected to said main microprocessor to receive drive motor control signals.
