Apparatus and method for filling a gas magazine of a pneumatic weapon simulator

A magazine for a pneumatic firearm simulator for simulated shooting, said magazine comprising:

• a fluid reservoir;
• a housing for enclosing said fluid reservoir;
• said housing including a valve in fluid communication with said fluid reservoir;
• said valve adapted for permitting a pressurized fluid to enter said reservoir but preventing said pressurized fluid from exiting said fluid reservoir;
• said valve including a filter adapted to filter said pressurized fluid permitted to enter said reservoir.

An apparatus for an pneumatic firearm simulator for filling and refilling a fluid reservoir of a magazine through its fill port from a source of pressurized fluid, the apparatus comprising:

• a receiver adapted for receiving the magazine inserted therein;
• said receiver including a check valve;
• said receiver including a seal surrounding said check valve;
• said seal adapted to surround the fill port when the magazine is inserted in said receiver;
• said check valve including an interface adapted for contact with the fill port of the magazine when inserted in said receiver;
• a passage for conveying the pressurized fluid from the source of pressurized fluid to the fluid reservoir of the magazine received in said receiver;
• said passage terminating at said check valve;
• said interface shaped so as to allow the magazine to be freely inserted in said receiver past said interface.
