A self resetting main valve assembly for compressed gas partially discharges a shot plenum when actuated. When actuated (i.e., when a user pulls a trigger of the gun), compressed gas pressure within the shot plenum is used to pull the main valve plunger back from an outlet of the shot plenum faster than a spring biasing the main valve plunger toward the outlet of the shot plenum can move the main valve plunger toward the outlet of the shot plenum. The spring can and typically will push the main valve plunger back into contact with the outlet of the shot plenum, sealing off the outlet of the main valve assembly before the user resets the trigger. When the user allows the trigger to reset, an inlet of the shot plenum is unblocked such that compressed gas can flow into the shot plenum via the inlet to refill the shot plenum.
A main valve assembly for selectively providing compressed gas, said main valve assembly comprising:
An air gun comprising:
