Pellet magazine

A pellet magazine for attachment to a pellet shooting device, said pellet magazine comprising:

• a casing includes an elongate three-dimensional orthotope having a bottom wall and a top wall opposite said bottom wall, said bottom and top walls being parallel to one another and extending between a first end and a second end that is opposite said first end, said casing including a left sidewall and a right sidewall opposite said left sidewall, said left and right sidewalls being parallel to one another and extending between said bottom and top walls, respectively;
• wherein the walls of said casing, together, define a magazine channel extending interiorly between said first end and said second end;
• wherein said magazine channel includes a pellet channel portion proximate said first end and a pellet spring portion proximate said second end;
• a plurality of pellets movable from a loaded configuration situated in said pellet channel portion and an unloaded configuration situated outside said pellet channel;
• wherein said casing defines an outlet port adjacent said first end that is in communication with said magazine channel, said outlet port having a dimension for allowing sequential passage of said plurality of pellets to said unloaded configuration;
• a pellet pocket member rotatably coupled to said casing and positioned in said magazine channel proximate said first end and in communication with said pellet channel for moving a respective pellet from said loaded configuration through said outlet port to said unloaded configuration when actuated;
• an actuation switch slidably coupled to said top wall proximate said first end of said casing, said actuation switch being slidably movable between a deployment configuration rearwardly displaced from said first end and a capture configuration adjacent said first end;
• an actuation spring coupled to said actuation switch for normally biasing said actuation switch toward said capture configuration;
• a linkage connecting said actuation switch to said pellet pocket, said linkage having a linear configuration that rotates said pellet pocket to push a captured pellet through said outlet port when said actuation switch is moved toward said deployment configuration and that rotates said pellet pocket in an opposite direction when said actuation switch is released to said capture configuration;
• a pellet advancement assembly situated in said pellet channel, said pellet;
• and advancement assembly including a spring member proximate said inner end of said magazine channel and a guide number coupled to said spring member displaced from said inner end and situated intermediate said spring member and said plurality of pellets.
