A paintball backpack includes a housing including a plurality of isolated compartments having open top end portions. The compartments include a plurality of releasable flap portions connected adjacent the top end portions. The housing further has a lower cavity provided with an outlet positioned substantially medially thereof. The lower cavity is disposed subjacent the compartments and has a bottom surface sloping downwardly and inwardly towards the outlet. The backpack further includes a harness including a plurality of shoulder portions adjacent the flap portions of the housing and extending about a user's torso and a belt section integral therewith. The backpack further includes a mechanism for selectively moving paintballs from the top end portions to the lower cavity and a mechanism for dispensing paintballs outwardly and away from the lower cavity wherein the paintballs are projected from the housing at a predetermined velocity.

What is claimed as new and what is desired to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is: 1. A backpack for storing and dispensing paintballs, said backpack comprising: a housing comprising a plurality of isolated compartments having open top end portions for receiving paintballs therethrough, said compartments comprising a plurality of releasable flap portions connected adjacent the top end portions for selectively adjusting the housing between open and closed positions, said housing further having a lower cavity provided with an outlet positioned substantially medially thereof, said lower cavity being disposed subjacent said compartments and having a bottom surface sloping downwardly and inwardly towards the outlet; a harness connected to said housing and extending about a user's torso, said harness including a belt section integral therewith and extending about a user's waist for adjustably tightening or loosening said harness; means for selectively moving paintballs from said top end portions to said lower cavity; and means for dispensing paintballs outwardly and away from said lower cavity wherein the paintballs are projected from the housing at a predetermined velocity. 2. The backpack of claim 1, wherein said dispensing means comprises: an elongated conduit having proximal and distal portions connected to the outlet and extending downwardly and away therefrom respectively; an electric motor positioned within said housing and having an output shaft extending vertically therefrom and into said lower cavity; a propeller operably connected to said shaft and being disposed adjacent the outlet for directing paintballs therethrough and into said conduit, said propeller being rotatable in a selected radial path as said shaft rotates in a corresponding direction; and a power source disposed within said housing and electrically coupled to said motor. 3. The backpack of claim 1, wherein said moving means comprises: a plurality of trap doors pivotally attached to said compartments respectively and being disposed above said lower cavity; and a plurality of flexible pull cords having opposed end portions connected to said trap doors and freely movable along said harness respectively, said pull cords for selectively causing said plurality of trap doors to toggle between open and closed positions and along an arcuate path, said pull cords comprising a plurality of ring portions connected to one said end portions thereof and for assisting a user to operate said trap doors during operating conditions. 4. The backpack of claim 2, wherein said power source comprises: a battery pack. 5. The backpack of claim 2, wherein said conduit is formed from flexible material so that a user can selectively adapt a shape thereof. 6. The backpack of claim 2, wherein said dispensing means further comprises: a clip connected to said belt section for receiving and maintaining said distal end of said conduit at a substantially stationary position during operating conditions. 7. The backpack of claim 2, wherein said conduit is formed from flexible material so that a user can selectively adapt a shape thereof. 8. A backpack for storing and dispensing paintballs, said backpack comprising: a housing comprising a plurality of isolated compartments having open top end portions for receiving paintballs therethrough, said compartments comprising a plurality of releasable flap portions connected adjacent the top end portions for selectively adjusting the housing between open and closed positions, said housing further having a lower cavity provided with an outlet positioned substantially medially thereof, said lower cavity being disposed subjacent said compartments and having a bottom surface sloping downwardly and inwardly towards the outlet; a harness comprising a plurality of shoulder portions adjacent said flap portions of said housing and extending about a user's torso, said harness including a belt section integral therewith and extending about a user's waist for adjustably tightening or loosening said harness; means for selectively moving paintballs from said top end portions to said lower cavity; and means for dispensing paintballs outwardly and away from said lower cavity wherein the paintballs are projected from the housing at a predetermined velocity. 9.
