A torso-covering garment for playing paintball having gripping areas to enable the user to grippably contact a gripping area of the garment with the butt stock of the gun. Each gripping area comprises a pliant, non-cushioning substrate. Common embodiments of the garment are shirts, jerseys, jackets, and vests. A method of playing paintball which comprises wearing the garment of the invention, and a method of fabricating the garment.

Torso garment

A novel and unique pneumatic paintball marker having a variety of novel features, the first being an on/off compressed air control valve, positioned at the front of the marker below the barrel and adjacent to an in-line pressure regulator. Major innovations have been made in reducing the size and weight of the body of the marker, along with the construction of a new bolt assembly consisting of just four components and only one moving part. An anti-chop eye electronic system insures that the paintballs are in proper position, and rubber ball detents are optionally added to hold the paintballs in place prior to firing the marker, so that the paintballs will not roll out the barrel.

Pneumatic paintball marker

A paintball loader which feeds paintballs to a paintball marker has a rotor body and a drive motor for rotating the rotor body. The paintball loader can include a latch member for selectively securing an upper shell member to a lower shell member. The paintball loader can include a ramp member inside the upper and lower shell members. The ramp member moves between a first or flattened position and a second or raised position to facilitate operation of the loader. The components of the loader are designed so that assembly/disassembly is performed with few, if any, tools to facilitate cleaning and/or maintenance.

Paintball loader

The present invention contemplates a novel and unique pneumatic paintball marker with a variety of novel features the first being an on/off compressed air control valve at the front of the marker below the barrel adjacent to the inline pressure regulator. Major innovations have been made in reducing the size and weight of the body of the marker along with the construction of the new fuse bolt assembly consisting of just four components and only one moving part. An anti-chop eye electronic system insures the paintballs are in the proper position with the addition of rubber ball detents to hold the paintballs in place so that they will not roll out the barrel prior to firing the marker.

The present invention provides a garment for playing paintball which is a torso-covering garment having at least two mirror-image gripping regions each containing one or more gripping areas that bear a plurality of raised tacky protrusions on one or more portions of the garment which covers at least a portion of the torso, that is, one or more of the shoulder, chest, and abdominal areas of the torso. The garment enables the paintball player to grippably contact a gripping area of the garment with the curved rear portion of the air system tank of the paintball marker, which enhances stability and improves shooting accuracy. Further provided is a method of playing paintball which comprises wearing the garment of the invention while playing paintball.
