Pump action marking pellet gun

A compressed gas powered gun for discharging projectiles and, upon the discharge of one projectile, manually actuable to position another projectile in a location within the gun to be subsequently discharged therefrom comprising:

• a receiver;
• a compressed gas source fastened to the receiver;
• a projectile supply comprises a hopper containing a plurality of projectiles, each projectile having a generally circular cross-sectional configuration;
• an elongated barrel through which projectiles may be sequentially discharged;
• a first clamp formed as an integral portion of the receiver and adapted to encircle and be tightened about the barrel near one end thereof to connect the barrel to the receiver;
• a feed tube formed as an integral portion of the receiver and a second clamp formed as an integral portion of the feed tube, the second clamp adapted to encircle and be tightened about a portion of the projectile supply hopper thereby securing the projectile supply hopper to the feed tube portion of the receiver;
• means including a user actuable trigger for selectively supplying compressed gas from the source to expel a projectile through the barrel;
• and
• means for sequentially aligning projectiles from the supply with the barrel.

A compressed gas powered gun for discharging projectiles and, upon the discharge of one projectile, manually actuable to position another projectile in a location within the gun to be subsequently discharged therefrom comprising:

• a receiver having an integrally formed pistol grip portion;
• a compressed gas source fastened to the pistol grip portion of the receiver;
• a projectile supply containing a plurality of projectiles, each projectile having a generally circular cross-sectional configuration;
• an elongated barrel through which projectiles may be sequentially discharged;
• means including a user actuable trigger and a gas passing aperture for selectively supplying compressed gas from the source to expel a projectile through the barrel;
• means for sequentially aligning projectiles from the supply with the barrel.

A compressed gas powered gun for discharging relatively fragile projectiles and, upon the discharge of one projectile, actuable to position another projectile in a location within the gun to be subsequently discharged therefrom comprising:

• a receiver;
• a compressed gas source fastened to the receiver;
• a projectile supply coupled to the receiver and containing a plurality of projectiles, each projectile having a generally circular cross-sectional configuration;
• an elongated barrel through which projectiles may be sequentially discharged;
• and
• means including a user actuable trigger for selectively supplying compressed gas from the source to expel a projectile through the barrel;
• the means for selectively supplying including a gas passing aperture located intermediate the barrel and the compressed gas source and an adjustment screw for variably restricting the size of the gas passing aperture thereby selectively controlling the quantity of compressed gas supplied from the source to expel a projectile through the barrel, and therefor also controlling the velocity of the projectile as it exits the barrel.

A compressed gas powered gun for discharging projectiles and, upon the discharge of one projectile, manually actuable to position another projectile in a location within the gun to be subsequently discharged therefrom comprising:

• a receiver;
• a compressed gas source fastened to the receiver;
• a projectile supply coupled to the receiver and containing a plurality of projectiles, each projectile having a generally circular cross-sectional configuration;
• an elongated barrel through which projectiles may be sequentially discharged;
• means including a user actuable trigger for selectively supplying compressed gas from the source to expel a projectile through the barrel;
• means for sequentially aligning projectiles from the supply with the barrel including first and second slide members reciprocable within the receiver, the first slide member being reciprocable within the receiver between a first position to allow a projectile to pass from the projectile supply into alignment with the barrel, and a second position to prevent a projectile from passing from the projectile supply into alignment with the barrel, and a forestock fixed to the first slide member and manually operable to move along the barrel in the direction of elongation thereof to correspondingly move the first slide member and align a projectile with the barrel;
• and
• means including the manually operable trigger for precluding operation of the forestock after one projectile is aligned with the barrel until the user operated trigger is actuated to expel that one projectile.
