Abstract
A pneumatic gun containing a variable gas flow valve, adjustable in-situ within the gun for regulating air pressure into the barrel. The valve includes a body with a passageway through which gas flows and a screw which is rotated through an aperture or inspection hole in the gun itself to adjust the size of a gas flow passageway, thereby supplying a continuously variable amount of gas pressure to power a projectile, such as a paint ball, at a range of controlled velocities.
