摘要

A projectile launching device or launcher includes a receiver, a forestock, a trigger mechanism, and a trigger extension cable. The receiver, in one example, includes a valve, a striker, and a bolt, and is able to launch a projectile such as a paintball via pressurized gas. The loading tube is situated on the top of a barrel coupled to the receiver. The trigger guard, in one embodiment, includes a cable channel facilitating a flexible passage for the trigger extension cable. The trigger extension cable passes through the cable channel and provides a flexible linkage between the trigger and a latch wherein the latch is used to release the sear to trigger a launch.
