• a stock being coupled to the housing, the stock being configured to abut a user for steadying the housing and the barrel;
• a recoil pad being coupled to the stock distal to the housing, the recoil pad being configured to absorb recoil and increase friction between the stock and a shoulder of the user when the barrel is aimed at a target;
• a scope being mounted to the housing, the scope being configured to align the front end with the rear end wherein the scope is configured to align the muzzle end with the target when the barrel is aimed at the target, the scope comprising:
• a front sight extending upwardly from the front end, the front sight being positioned proximate to the barrel;
• a rear sight extending upwardly from the rear end, the rear sight being positioned proximate to the stock;
• a rail extending along the top side of the housing between the front sight and the rear sight, the rail being configured to receive a scope mount;
• a clip being removably couplable to the housing, the clip being in fluid communication with the chamber, the clip extending downwardly from the bottom side of the housing, the clip housing a plurality of projectiles, each of the plurality of projectiles being 30 caliber, and having a weight between 65.0 grain and 135.0 grain, the clip including:
• a first magazine having an upper end being positionable within the chamber;
• a second magazine being coupled to the upper end, the second magazine having an inner recess being configured to receive the plurality of projectiles, wherein the plurality of projectiles are stacked on top of each other along a longitudinal plane within the inner recess;
• a pellet spring being positioned within the inner recess proximate to the upper end of the first magazine, the pellet spring being compressed by a weight of the plurality of projectiles, the pellet spring expanding as each of the plurality of projectiles is propelled outwardly from the barrel wherein the pellet spring urges the plurality of projectiles upwardly toward the chamber;
• a cocking lever being coupled to the housing, the cocking lever being actuatable to release a one of the plurality of projectiles into the chamber, the one of the plurality of projectiles being aligned with the barrel when the one of the plurality of projectiles is released from the second magazine into the chamber;
• a grip extending downwardly from the bottom side of the housing, the grip being configured to facilitate the user in holding the housing, the grip being positioned proximate to the rear end;
• a canister being removably mounted to the housing, the canister being fluidly couplable to the chamber, the canister housing a propellant, the propellant being carbon dioxide, the canister being a pneumatic cylinder of the carbon dioxide, the canister having a capacity between 30.0 grams and 60.0 grams, the canister comprising a neck and a body;
• a collar being mounted to the housing, the collar being configured to receive the neck of the canister, the collar comprising:
• a docking collar being positioned on the bottom side of the housing;
• a seal being coupled to the docking collar, the seal being positioned within the docking collar, the seal sealing the canister with the housing thereby inhibiting the propellant from being released from the canister through the collar;
• an ejecting collar being positioned within the seal, the ejecting collar having a retracted position and an extended position, wherein the retracted position is configured to couple the canister to the collar, wherein the extended position is configured to release the canister from the collar;
• a canister fastener being coupled to the housing, the canister fastener fluidly coupling the canister to the chamber, the canister fastener comprising:
• a tube extending through the housing;
• a pin having a piercing end and a mounting end, the mounting end being coupled to the tube, the pin extending outwardly from the tube through the collar wherein the collar is in fluid communication with the tube wherein the collar fluidly couples the canister to the tube when the collar receives the canister, the pin piercing the canister when the canister is coupled to the housing whereby the canister is in fluid communication with the tube when the piercing end is inserted into the canister, the piercing end being inserted into the canister when the canister is mounted to the housing;
• wherein the ejecting collar extends outwardly past the seal thereby covering the piercing end of the pin when the ejecting collar is in the extended position;
• wherein the ejecting collar retracts inwardly toward the housing thereby exposing the piercing end of the pin when the ejecting collar is in the retracted position;
• a cradle being coupled to the housing, the cradle having a shape being complementary to a shape of the body of the canister wherein the cradle is configured to receive the canister, the cradle being aligned with the collar wherein the cradle is configured to facilitate coupling the canister to the collar whereby the neck of the canister is couplable with the collar when the body of the canister is positioned within the cradle;
• a trigger mechanism being mounted to the housing adjacent to the grip, the trigger mechanism expelling a quantity of the propellant into the barrel, the quantity of the propellant being sufficient to propel the one of the plurality of projectiles forwardly through the chamber into the barrel and outwardly through the muzzle end, the trigger mechanism comprising:
• a trigger guard extending forwardly from the grip, the trigger guard defining a trigger space, the trigger space being configured to receive a finger of the user;
• a trigger being positioned within the trigger space, the trigger being actuatable to release the quantity of the propellant into the chamber thereby propelling the one of the plurality of projectiles from the chamber through the barrel and outwardly through the muzzle end;
• a hammer being coupled to the trigger, the hammer being positioned within the chamber and being aligned with the one of the plurality of projectiles when the one of the plurality of projectiles is positioned within the chamber;
• a hammer spring being coupled to the hammer, the hammer spring being positioned within the chamber between the hammer and the rear end, the hammer spring expanding when the trigger is actuated wherein the hammer moves outwardly from the hammer spring to collide with the one of the plurality of projectiles when the trigger is actuated;
• and
• a valve being coupled to the hammer, the valve being positioned in the chamber, the valve being fluidly coupled to the tube, the valve being actuatable to release the quantity of propellent being expelled through the barrel when the trigger is actuated, the valve being aligned with the barrel, the valve being positioned proximate to the front end of the housing.
