Pellet magazine for air rifles and pistols

A pellet magazine for air compressed rifle 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;
• 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 the compressed air 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 the recoil takes place in the 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.
