New Paintball Gun Design

and i am going to put it this way i got a year from the day i started posting news about this idea to start patenting my idea. thats the law: )

I still think its just an A-5 variant...Psh the loader is probly going to use the blowback gas to power it.

I was actually just looking at the Cyclone feed. While the principle is similar, it's method of acomplishing the task is totally different.

For future reference for all ya'll though, here's some advise for you when you start thinking about inventing something. DON'T. You would not BELIEVE the pain in the rear it is trying to make sure you arn't going to be stepping on anyone's patents that already are out there. And you find the strangest stuff too that you wouldn't ever think of. Take this for example: You know the Happy Birthday song that they sing to you on your birthday when you tell them no but they want to embaress you anyway? Well anytime they play that on TV or the radio, Paul McCartney gets a little richer off of a royalty. Consider that haha.

As someone who's had to deal with the extreme pain involved in redesigning a paintball gun from the inside out (ask Enos, he's done a lot more than I have), I still cannot for the life of me figure out where anything goes in there. The barrel-loader idea is unique.. questionable because of its location and the question of speed of reloading.. do you have to pull the loading system all the way off the barrel? That's a long way.. Plus the stock looks way too short to be usable for someone my size (~6 feet tall). Also as Enos said, the Q-Loader is patented, and so is just about every hopper idea you can think of. AGD has patents on things that don't even exist yet. So if it involves springs, motors, belts, batteries, etc, it's probably been done and/or patented.

At any rate, it looks good. I just can't see where you're going to put anything if it's all mechanical.

Assuming that grip feeds gas through it, you'd have to either have a brand-new valve to replace the CVX found in Tippmanns (which is what it looks like), or have a super-dense striker to activate it. The charging handle on the top seems to imply an A-5-like arrangement.. Plus there's no space for any of the typical sear or other assemblies to fire it, and if you're using pneumatics to operate it, good luck. No room for those either, trust me.

Honest opinion, no offense intended, it looks like a somewhat redesigned A-5 with a loader on the front.

I'd be very interested in finding out how this ends up and is supposed to function. If you want, go ahead and PM me and I might have some ideas and/or constructive criticism, plus as an insider I could give you some info on any patents you may be infringing on. Not that nobody else could do that, just that I'm willing to. Like I said, I've done some brain-wracking trying to redesign paintball stuff on the inside.

Good luck, at any rate.

i think it looks great   like a large 552 but great if it was in production id buy it   

thats a good point

I personally like the grip designs... the barrel is too big though, i would move the ammo back into the stock above the air system.

Thanks guys. Appreciate every feedback, me and my buddies, including JunoTrevan who left feedback, are working on this, so will pay off soon enough : )

so far time of 3 people, and we got simpler prototypes of mechanisms, and about couple of hundred dollars : ) we are keep on building simpler prototypes to prove all the theyries we got in our minds as ideas. we need to finish up couple of things maybe soon will have some presintations to get some investment going we will see.

I think i will have to start forum at my server soon : )

yeah about that ammo in the stock, its a good idea but gun is based on the classic paintball design the internals, with some modifications to fit, for low pressure and many other etc. so it is good idea and i might implement it to something like p 990 looking gun but first this one : ) the whole idea is that it acts like a real gun, it takes bullet out of the clip and places it in the barrel, if that would be another way i would have to cover big space between the cartridge and the barrel plus i dont know if i could make it shoot at any angle then.

was wrong: ( fell a sleep
