In my adult career I carved enough
time out of my schedule to fabricate my prototype full auto BB gun
using a paintball marker as a surrogate air source until I had more
time/knowledge about pneumatics.
I successfully created a prototype
and showed it to some pals. They
immediately congratulated me on
converting a paintball gun into a bb
gun to which I defensively responded “No no no, the paintball gun is
just a makeshift air source” to which
they replied, “ok Ryan… but you
did convert a pb gun into a bb gun”.
Seren-friggin-dipity! From then on
I realized indeed I had inadvertently
invented the first Paintball gun to bb
gun adaptor… and it really worked.
We patented 6 claims for the Morph
Fire shortly thereafter.
Ryan, do you have a background in
paintball?
I started playing when I was 13 years old
and my first marker was a splat master…
I S#*t you not! I remember a guy I envied
had a tricked out Nelspot 007. I shortly
grew to be quite proficient and by age 15
prided myself on out runnin’ and out gunnin’ most of my competition and having
“Beer bounties” put on my head by opposing teams for anybody who took me out. I
graduated to a PMI 2 which I proceeded to
modify myself into a 68 magnum polished
to a high brass sheen. Then a 68 special
(serial #0047). I traveled with the Miami
valley rangers for two years and then went
to college. I still played but not as organized. These days you might catch me
being a 101st Airborne Ranger dropped
behind the lines in Oklahoma’s D-Day or
behind the controls of my custom fabri-
cated Paint tank at the tipp challenge. I
love to get away with my pals…kick ass…
take names and swap war stories with all
those I tagged and those that tagged me. I
love the sport of paintball… and now I am
diggin the symbiosis with the great sport
of airsoft.
Last we spoke you mentioned the Morph
Fire conversion kit was soon being released for other marker brands. How is
that going?
R&D is done!!! We are currently producing
and delivering the Planet eclipse EGO and
ETEK adaptors and the Tippmann conversion is in final production as I am writing
this. Based on feedback from the paintball
world we are designing conversions for
Empire and other brands. We are hoping
the public gives us more feedback on what
they want because Morph Fire has no limit
in sight to its adaptive abilities.
Is there anything else you’d like to add?
The only thing I have to add is God bless
America! The only country left in the
world where a kid can have a gun dream
and grow up to make it come true. If I can
make a living doing what I love… I’m never gonna “work” another day in my life.
Thanks for the interest and the opportunity to share.
