Airgun magazine

A system, comprising:

• a projectile magazine for use with an airgun having a bolt, the projectile magazine comprising:
• a housing;
• a carousel positioned within the housing and having a first side and a second side opposite the first side, the carousel including:
• a hub protruding from the second side and extending in a first direction,
• a first ratchet interface arranged around a perimeter of the hub, and
• a plurality of projectile holders disposed radially about the hub adjacent a perimeter of the carousel, wherein a projectile holder of the plurality of projectile holders defines a projectile holder gap at the perimeter of the carousel;
• an axle, including a second ratchet interface, wherein the second ratchet interface is configured to engage with the first ratchet interface;
• a rotational biasing element configured to impose a first biasing force on the carousel, the first biasing force causing rotation of the carousel about an axis of the axle in a rotational direction;
• and
• an axle biasing element configured to impose a second biasing force on the carousel in a second direction that is opposite the first direction to cause the first ratchet interface to engage with the second ratchet interface.

A component for an airgun having a bolt and a built-in magazine housing, the component comprising:

• a carousel positioned within the built-in magazine housing and having a first side and a second side opposite the first side, the carousel including:
• a hub protruding from the second side and extending in a first direction,
• a first ratchet interface arranged around a perimeter of the hub, and
• a plurality of projectile holders disposed radially about the hub adjacent a perimeter of the carousel, wherein a projectile holder of the plurality of projectile holders defines a projectile holder gap at the perimeter of the carousel;
• an axle within the built-in magazine housing, including a second ratchet interface , wherein the second ratchet interface is configured to engage with the first ratchet interface;
• a rotational biasing element configured to impose a first biasing force on the carousel, the first biasing force causing rotation of the carousel about an axis of the axle in a rotational direction;
• and
• an axle biasing element configured to impose a second biasing force on the carousel in a second direction that is opposite the first direction, the second biasing force causing the first ratchet interface to engage with the second ratchet interface.
