Abrégé

A projectile launcher using a self-resetting trigger system includes a striker, a sear, and a trigger. The striker, also known as hammer, includes an anchoring notch and is able to slide between a firing position and a ready-for-firing position for launching an object. The sear, which is substantially L-shaped sear, has a first sear end and a second sear end wherein the sear maintains the striker to the ready-for-firing position when the first sear end engages with the anchoring notch of the striker. The trigger, which is capable of self resetting independent from the movement of the striker, contains an elastic lip with a ramp and is able to maintain the sear in a ready position when the elastic lip and the second sear end are coupled in a lock position.

The loading chamber is coupled to a loading port to receive paintballs. In one embodiment, the detent includes a paintball catcher capable of catching the paintball as it is loaded into the loading chamber. In one example, the paintball catcher is a flexible paintball catcher extending into the loading chamber and is able to catch the paintball and hold it in a predefined position.
