An on/off valve for a paintball gun comprises a valve body. The valve body includes a gas inlet to receive a gas from a compressed gas source and a gas outlet to transmit the gas to the paintball gun The valve body also contains a plug cavity for receivingly engaging a plug. The plug includes a flow aperture for transmitting the gas from the inlet aperture to the outlet aperture. An actuator controls the plug position and, hence, a supply of gas through the flow aperture. An o-ring is seated within an exit port of the gas inlet in contact with the valve body and the plug. In operation, the gas has a pressure that exerts a force on the o-ring to maintain it in a sealing engagement with the plug. Movement of the actuator between an "oi" position and an "off" position opens and closes the on/off valve. In an open position, the flow aperture is positioned in communication with the inlet aperture and permits a flow of gas from the inlet aperture to the outlet aperture. Conversely, in a closed position, gas flow between the gas inlet and the gas outlet is prevented. Rotation of the plug does not substantially move the o-ring relative to the valve body.
