Abrégé

Improvements in a more efficient use of air in a projectile launcher is disclosed. The launcher uses a two-stage air gun fire and reset to have a more efficient compressed gas usage because the gas is not wasted by performing simultaneous actions, instead, the motion dedicates a portion of the motion to firing only then transitions a “port” to close and redirect the gasses to “re-cocking” without wasted gasses going out the firing bolt. The air is redirected through a moving port or gate to allow the launcher to continue to perform and “cycle” to the point where there is low pressure in the supply tank. This prevents chopping or shredding of paintballs because the feed port of the projectiles only partially opens. The improvement allows the launcher to reliably feed and fire projectiles down to the point where it is obvious that the tank requires changing.

Improvements in an airsoft kit to convert an airsoft gun to fire paintballs is disclosed. The airsoft kit to convert an airsoft gun to fire paintballs to fire paintballs. The firing of paintballs can be with firing individual paintballs, a burst of about three paintballs successive paintballs rapid fire as paintballs are sprayed in a general area of an opponent. The kit converts an airsoft gun to fire paintballs to handle feeding either airsoft projectiles or paintball projectiles depending upon the installed kit. The kit allows for a user to purchase a single reliable gun that can be used for either activity and then install or remove a fit that allows the gun to be used in either of the two activities. The conversion requires little or no tools and can be performed in the field as the user prepares for their next combat.
