Abstract
An electric paintball feed hopper for paintguns, characterized in having a hopper opening, which provides for loading paintballs, defined in a hopper, a fastening cover, which prevents the paintballs from falling out, is fitted to the hopper opening, and an oblique partition, which provides for sequencing of the paintballs, is further configured on an inner side of the fastening cover. Moreover, a motor-driven paintball feed mechanism and a guide mechanism, which provides for successively feeding the paintballs, are configured at a lower end of the oblique partition. After a round of paintballs is loaded into the hopper, the paintball feed mechanism and the guide mechanism enable sequencing of the paintballs loaded within the hopper and successive shifting into a barrel of a paintgun, thereby achieving uninterrupted shooting and providing an effect that closely simulates the firing of a real gun.
