US12516905 - Pneumatic launcher barrel housing system

The present invention is a system and method pertaining to a Pneumatic Launcher Barrel Housing designed for enhanced noise suppression during projectile launching, maintaining shot accuracy and consistency, and allowing for greater customization and configurability. The system comprises an external layer, removable and replaceable internal layer(s), and air gap(s) between layers. The external layer facilitates attachment to existing projectile guns and provides a framework for securing internal layer(s), creating an air gap. The internal layer guides the paintball, utilizing expanding gases from the projectile gun to accelerate it through a stabilized path. This aids in dissipating residual air pressure and ensuring consistent shot trajectories.

The Pneumatic Launcher Barrel Housing System is designed to enhance noise suppression and maintain shot accuracy by utilizing coaxially configured sleeves with an air gap for gas expansion and projectile guidance. This innovative design allows for customization and ensures consistent shot trajectories by directing highly pressurized gas from behind the projectile through the internal sleeve.

Claim 1

1 . A Pneumatic Barrel Housing System for launching a projectile exhibiting coaxially configured sleeves comprising the elements of: a propelled projectile; a means of pneumatic propulsion; said means of pneumatic propulsion being a compressed gas; a cylindrical external, outer tubular sleeve and a cylindrical internal, inner sleeve, sharing a center line, exhibiting a space therebetween; said external, outer tubular sleeve and a cylindrical internal, inner sleeve having a first end proximal to the user and a second, terminal end distal to the user; said internal, inner sleeve in sealed communication with said external, outer tubular sleeve; said internal, inner sleeve running contiguously and coaxially along and within the length of said external, outer sleeve; said internal, inner sleeve having a diameter less than said external, outer tubular sleeve; said inner sleeve exhibiting a projectile pathway from said first end to said second end; said internal sleeve exhibiting at least one communications, spanning the thickness of said internal sleeve, as to provide a communication between said internal sleeve’s internal space and the space existing between said external, outer tubular sleeve and said cylindrical internal, inner sleeve; said at least one communication exhibited along the length of said internal sleeve so as to allow highly pressurized gas to be directed from behind said propelled projectile and from an interior space within said internal sleeve, into said space existing between said internal and external sleeves, into said inner sleeve’s internal space ahead of said projectile and exiting said inner sleeve at said second end and ahead of said projectile. a propelled projectile; a means of pneumatic propulsion; said means of pneumatic propulsion being a compressed gas; said means of pneumatic propulsion being a compressed gas; a cylindrical external, outer tubular sleeve and a cylindrical internal, inner sleeve, sharing a center line, exhibiting a space therebetween; said external, outer tubular sleeve and a cylindrical internal, inner sleeve having a first end proximal to the user and a second, terminal end distal to the user; said internal, inner sleeve in sealed communication with said external, outer tubular sleeve; said internal, inner sleeve running contiguously and coaxially along and within the length of said external, outer sleeve; said internal, inner sleeve having a diameter less than said external, outer tubular sleeve; said inner sleeve exhibiting a projectile pathway from said first end to said second end; said internal sleeve exhibiting at least one communications, spanning the thickness of said internal sleeve, as to provide a communication between said internal sleeve’s internal space and the space existing between said external, outer tubular sleeve and said cylindrical internal, inner sleeve; said at least one communication exhibited along the length of said internal sleeve so as to allow highly pressurized gas to be directed from behind said propelled projectile and from an interior space within said internal sleeve, into said space existing between said internal and external sleeves, into said inner sleeve’s internal space ahead of said projectile and exiting said inner sleeve at said second end and ahead of said projectile. said external, outer tubular sleeve and a cylindrical internal, inner sleeve having a first end proximal to the user and a second, terminal end distal to the user; said internal, inner sleeve in sealed communication with said external, outer tubular sleeve; said internal, inner sleeve running contiguously and coaxially along and within the length of said external, outer sleeve; said internal, inner sleeve having a diameter less than said external, outer tubular sleeve; said inner sleeve exhibiting a projectile pathway from said first end to said second end; said internal sleeve exhibiting at least one communications, spanning the thickness of said internal sleeve, as to provide a communication between said internal sleeve’s internal space and the space existing between said external, outer tubular sleeve and said cylindrical internal, inner sleeve; said at least one communication exhibited along the length of said internal sleeve so as to allow highly pressurized gas to be directed from behind said propelled projectile and from an interior space within said internal sleeve, into said space existing between said internal and external sleeves, into said inner sleeve’s internal space ahead of said projectile and exiting said inner sleeve at said second end and ahead of said projectile.
