TOURNAMENT
calls its “Host Paintball Gun” or HPG,
enables it to hammer 6mm airsoft or
metal BB’s downrange at easily double the velocity of a paintball, before
being just as easily removed to allow
that paintball gun to shoot paintballs
again.
Once I’d spent a few minutes getting my
head around the Morph Fire concept I had
to know more, so I took a few minutes to
talk with Morph Fire inventor and LevTec
founder Ryan Levin. He explained that he
simply enjoys shooting. He and I have that
in common so the rest of the conversation
was pretty entertaining and educational. A
paintball player with over two decades of
time in the game under his belt, Levin explained that though he loved paintball, he
also loved shooting all sorts of things and
what started with a fully automatic BB gun
that “lit a fuse” in him, moved through an
education in pneumatics and the enjoyment
of firearms and culminated in a concept

that led him to the local home improvement
store. His mission was to buy tubing and
whatever else he needed to create a fully
automatic BB gun. Paintball came in because it was a readily available air source
and, almost by accident, he managed to
convert a paintball gun into a BB gun practically on his first try!
Morph Fire inventor Ryan Levin explains
that the ready-for-prime time Morph Fire
system essentially “tricks a paintball gun
into firing BB’s.” And he’s right. To sum it
up without getting all technical, a paintball gun owner need only open their new
Morph Fire box, remove the included kit
and install it, a process that takes only a
few minutes, a basic (and included) wrench
and then go shoot things. My first try at
Morph Fire installation took approximately
ten minutes as I was careful to read the
instructions a few extra times. The Morph
Fire power tube simply threads into the
stock Delrin bolt of a Spyder paintball gun,
