Abstract
An air gun includes a first reservoir storing a first compressed gas, e.g., compressed air, and a second reservoir storing a second compressed gas different from the first compressed gas, e.g., helium. A mixed gas system mixes a supply of the first compressed gas and a supply of the second compressed gas as a gaseous mixture. A firing valve is selectively actuated to release the gaseous mixture to a barrel of the air gun, to fire the air gun.
