A system for controlling the firing of a paint ball gun includes an electromechanical device (EMD) that produces linear motion interactive with the conventional trigger of the gun. Electronic circuitry produces pulses that activate the EMD. The pulses are based upon control signals produced by either the timing of paint balls entering the firing chamber of the gun or the detection of the presence of a single paint ball within the chamber. A manually operated electrical switch trigger activates the electronic circuitry. An adjustably predetermined number of paint balls will fire based upon each depression of the electrical switch trigger while minimizing the chopping of paint balls in the firing chamber.

[ Having thus described my invention, what is claimed is:] [1.] A system for controlling the firing of a paint ball gun having a forestock, a firing chamber, a conventional trigger, and a gripping portion adjacent said trigger, said system comprising:a) an electromechanical device (EMD) that produces linear reciprocating motion responsive to energizing pulses of electrical current, and adapted to actuate said conventional trigger to actuate the firing of said gun,b) electronic circuitry capable of changing low voltage direct current into said energizing pulses based upon control signals produced by either the timing of paint balls entering said chamber or the detection of the presence of a single paint ball within said chamber,c) a power supply which supplies D.C. current of 1.5 to 18 volts to said electronic circuitry, andd) a manually operated electrical switch trigger for activating said electronic circuitry.
