: I was looking up some info and came across a patent for what looks like the ultimate paintball pistol to date. Does anyone know who holds this patent? Who might be working on it? Contact Information? : Whos in for some serious pistol-only tourneys with these!!!!! : Any info out there, let's share and get this thing perfected and to market! : CHECK IT OUT!! : http://airsoldier.com/~haveblue/tech/patents/US006470872.pdf : sorry, no idea how to make it a link, gotta copy and paste. Unfortunately, you don't have to prove that your idea works to get a patent. Because paintballs flex, they jam when when facing a reducing size opening (going from the alternating side stack to a single ball width) and do so even worse when under spring pressure.
