Power control assembly for an airgun and method of assembling a power control assembly

Abstract

A power control assembly (295) for an air gun (205) comprising: a power control element (271) having a longitudinal axis and a forward and a rearward end, the power control element (271) having a helical groove (271g) formed around a portion of a length thereof from a first longitudinal position to a second longitudinal position, the first and second longitudinal positions being axially spaced from respective forward and rear ends of the power control element (271) such that the groove (271g) has forward and rearward ends; an intermediate collar element (281) arranged to form a collar around the power control element (271); and a power control dial (291) arranged to form a collar around the intermediate collar element (281), wherein the intermediate collar element (281) has first and second radial through-holes (281a1, 281a2) axially spaced along a longitudinal axis of the assembly (295) such that when the collar element (281) is placed around the power control element (271) the through-holes (281a1, 281a2) intersect the groove (271g) at respective locations thereof longitudinally spaced apart.
