Pellet magazine for air rifles and pistols

A pellet magazine for air compressed guns including rifles and pistols, comprising:

• an outer casing;
• and
• a drum disposed in the outer casing, the drum including:
• housings to receive pellets therein;
• a through hole extending at least partially through an axis of rotation of the drum;
• a channel through which passes a limit stop for a stroke of the pellets;
• a joint and an axis around which the drum rotates;
• a toothed mechanism arranged inside the drum and including a series of teeth (8);
• tilting means configured to move by a recoil action after shooting a pellet and to release the drum to rotate until a next pellet is blocked by the limit stop;
• at least one pawl in contact with at least one of the teeth, and
• a rotation spring which rotates the drum around the rotation axis,
• wherein, when in a rest position, the limit stop prevents rotation of a pellet prepared to be loaded onto an air compressed gun;
• once a pellet is loaded into a housing of the drum, the pawl blocks one of said teeth, and once the pellet is fired and as a recoil takes place in the air compressed gun, the tilting means move and release the pawl from the teeth, thus releasing the drum, which then rotates, and a next pellet is blocked by the limit stop, making a next housing ready to be loaded with a pellet.
