An electrically operated paintball gun operable to shoot paintballs including a barrel, a trigger, and a breech connected to a rear end of the barrel, as well as a bolt movable in the breech between a rearward position and a forward shooting position. A spring biases the bolt towards the rearward position. A pneumatic circuit is provided to drive the bolt towards the forward position and includes a control valve in the form of a solenoid valve to receive gas under pressure and direct it into a chamber at the rear of the bolt when the gun is shot. An electronic circuit controls the pneumatic circuit and is operated by an electrical switch operated by the trigger. A gas valve mechanism is opened by engagement by the bolt, when the latter is driven forwardly to the shooting position, to permit the passage of relatively high pressure propellant gas into the barrel to propel a paintball. The spring is preferably mounted in a longitudinal passage in the bolt and is held at its front end by a fixed spring engaging member located in the passage.

The weapon in accordance with claim 1 wherein said stops are rollers movable in apertures communicating with said channel upwardly and downwardly between said first and second positions. 4. The weapon in accordance with claim 1 wherein said moving means includes at least one locking cam movable axially of said channel to effect movement of said stops between said first and second positions. 5. The weapon in accordance with claim 4 wherein said moving means includes cam members acting upon said locking cam. 6. The weapon in accordance with claim 1 wherein said actuating means is located at a point spaced from said opening in said guide rail to release said outermost projectile sequentially from said channels as the disc rotates thereby. 7. The weapon in accordance with claim 1 including replaceable tubes in said channels in which projectiles are preloaded. 8. The weapon in accordance with claim 1 wherein said disc has a feed aperture in its center, said feed channels extending between said feed aperture and the periphery of said disc, and wherein there is included a feed mechanism disposed above said feed aperture and having feed passages alignable with the channels in said disc for passage of projectiles into said feed channels. 9. The weapon in accordance with claim 8 wherein said feed mechanism is engageable with said disc to rotate therewith. 10. The weapon in accordance with claim 9 wherein said control means reduces the rotational speed of said motor and disc during feeding of projectiles into said feed channels.
