Paintball marker accuracy

Abstract

The accuracy of a paintball propelled through a paintball marker is improved by longitudinally injecting pressurized gas into the paintball marker's barrel and forcing the gas to follow a spiral path as it is injected into the barrel. This can be achieved by mounting a spiral member within the paintball marker's power tube nozzle, such that the spiral member extends and spirals longitudinally along the nozzle.

1 . A power tube for a paintball marker, the power tube comprising a spiral member mounted to extend and spiral longitudinally within a nozzle of the power tube. 
     
     
         2 . A paintball marker having a power tube, the power tube comprising a spiral member mounted to extend and spiral longitudinally along a nozzle of the power tube. 
     
     
         3 . A spiral member mountable within a paintball marker power tube, the spiral member sized and shaped to extend and spiral longitudinally along a nozzle of the power tube when the spiral member is mounted within the power tube. 
     
     
         4 . A method of improving the accuracy of a paintball propelled through a paintball marker, the method comprising:
 longitudinally injecting pressurized gas into a barrel of the paintball marker; and   forcing the gas to follow a spiral path as the gas is injected into the barrel of the paintball marker.
