An improved pneumatic launching apparatus is disclosed having both a partition apparatus for enabling a projectile, such as gelatinous-filled capsules used in paintball, to be loaded and readied for expulsion without applying mechanical force and an improved venting-pressure regulator. When the partition apparatus is in a withdrawn, or open, position, an aperture is exposed to allow a projectile of complimentary size and shape to drop into the firing chamber. The shape of the partition is such that a next projectile is gently cradled and separated from the firing chamber during a closing movement. Further, the partition preferably creates a seal that significantly inhibits the escape of pressurized gas during a firing operation. The venting-pressure regulator utilizes opposed pistons with an escape mechanism to allow venting to occur without requiring a separate adjustment.
