Abstract
A loader and drive system are provided. The loader is preferably configured to house a quantity of projectiles (such as paintballs) in a chamber and supply the quantity of projectiles from the chamber to an attached pneumatic gun when in operation. The loader preferably includes an outlet configured to supply projectiles from the chamber to the pneumatic gun when the loader is operatively connected to the pneumatic gun. A drive system may be arranged in the loader and include a non-rotating center member arranged above the outlet with an entrance. A way may be arranged to direct projectiles into the outlet from the chamber through the entrance. An arm may be provided and attached to the center member to direct projectiles into the entrance. A driving member may surround the non-rotating center member and rotate around the non-rotating member. The driving member preferably urges projectiles from the chamber into the way and toward the outlet during operation of the loader.
