ELECTRICAL CONTROL UNIT FOR PAINTBALL GUN
First Claim
1. An electrical control unit for controlling the operation of a paintball gun comprising a solenoid valve that directs compressed gas through the solenoid valve to a pneumatic piston coupled to a pneumatic mechanism during operation of the paintball gun, said electrical control unit comprising:
- a power supply connection that receives power from a power supply;
an electrical timing circuit configured to receive electrical power from the power supply and to control a launching sequence of the paintball gun; and
wherein said electrical timing circuit is configured to send a signal to a solenoid valve to direct a flow of compressed gas through the solenoid valve to the pneumatic piston to control an operation of the paintball gun.

Abstract
An electrical control unit preferably can control operation of a paintball gun having a solenoid valve with an input port that receives compressed gas from a compressed gas supply and an output port connected to a pneumatic mechanism. For instance, the electrical control unit can contain a network of electronic components configured to receive an input signal from a trigger-actuated switch and send a signal to the solenoid valve. The solenoid valve can, for instance, direct compressed gas to and/or from the pneumatic mechanism to operate a bolt or firing valve connected to the pneumatic mechanism in response to the signal from the electrical control unit.
