Abstract
An improved compressed gas operated pistol is provided which maximizes use of compressed gas energy by minimizing loss of energy from the chamber into the magazine. An aft end portion of the barrel of the pistol is formed extended as a thin wall portion. When the trigger of the pistol is actuated, this thin wall portion of the barrel is fitted tightly into the chamber, confining the next pellet to be fired within the cylindrical walls of the thin wall portion and the rear surface of the chamber, and sealing off the chamber from the magazine. In this manner, the full impact of the energy provided for firing by the compressed gas cylinder to the chamber is imparted on the pellet.

A compressed gas operated pistol, comprising:
- a barrel zone, wherein a barrel disposed within the barrel zone is positioned with a rear end of the barrel facing a firing chamber of the pistol;
- a trigger zone, comprising a trigger linked to a hammer;
- a stock zone, wherein the stock zone comprises:
- an ammunition magazine configured to insert and retain a pellet in the firing chamber prior to a shot;
- a pressurized gas cylinder configured to connect to a valve chamber;
- and
- a valve element configured to connect the valve chamber and the firing chamber, wherein the valve element is configured to be moved by an elastic member towards a closed position, and to an open position by an impact of the hammer;
- and
- a sealing device configured to isolate the firing chamber with respect to the ammunition magazine.
A compressed gas operated pistol, comprising:
- a firing chamber;
- a barrel positioned with a rear end facing the firing chamber and configured to be partially inserted into the firing chamber;
- a trigger, comprising a trigger piece linked to a hammer;
- a sliding cover positioned proximate to the barrel and coupled to the trigger, wherein the sliding cover is configured to move backwards in a direction parallel to the barrel when the trigger is pressed so as to activate the hammer;
- an ammunition magazine configured to insert and retain a pellet in the firing chamber prior to firing of the pistol;
- a pressurized gas cylinder configured to provide pressurized gas to the firing chamber through a valve element;
- and
- a sealing device configured to contain the pressurized gas provided by the pressurized gas cylinder within the firing chamber.
