Abstract
A barrel adaptor for a paintball gun is provided to induce spin onto a paintball exiting the barrel of the paintball gun thereby providing selected projectile drop compensation. The adapter consists of a structure having an elongated aperture with a first end adapted to fit snugly over the barrel of the paintball gun thereby extending the barrel. An exit portion of the adapter forms an open trough-like cavity, wherein the trough-like cavity is generally mal-aligned with the paintball gun barrel such that a spin is imparted upon a paintball fired from the paintball gun barrel as it passes longitudinally through the trough-like cavity and exits therefrom.
