A bolt for a pneumatic paintball gun, said bolt comprising:
- a body having a forward body section and a rearward body section;
- a piston member arranged on the forward body section;
- an internal passageway extending from an opening in a forward end of the forward body section to one or more first bolt ports, wherein the one or more first bolt ports are arranged through a bolt wall rearward of the piston member to communicate with an exterior of the bolt;
- an internal chamber formed inside the rearward body section of the bolt;
- and
