Abstract
The invention discloses a compressed gas-operated firearm (1), especially a pistol, which at the utilization of a drum (18) for multi-shot projectile receipt distinguishes itself through a linearly displaceable weapon barrel (3) to achieve a loading position, or, respectively, firing position, and through a trigger (4) which is automatically secured against actuation in the loading position. Furthermore, a new type of valve system (25) is proposed for the impulse-like emission of the compressed gas upon the discharge of a shot.
Claims6
Compressed gas-operated firearm, including a weapon frame or breech block and a weapon barrel arranged thereon, further including a drum having bores arranged in an annular ring for the receipt of projectile bodies, which is rotatably arranged about an axis in parallel with the longitudinal axis of the barrel and for the rotation thereof and precise alignment of a bore with the bore of the barrel is actuated by a lever system which is in operative connection with the trigger of the firearm, characterized in that the weapon barrel (3) is arranged linearly longitudinally displacable in the breech block (2) between a firing position and a loading position in a known manner, the trigger (4) which is pivotable about an axis (27) is articulatedly connected with a slider (31) which has a curved track (33) in which a control arm (35) is slidingly inserted, which at the free end thereof stands under a spring force acting on drive elements (23) of the drum (18) in the context of providing a rotational force, the slider (31) in the firing position of the firearm engaging adjustingly into adjusting recesses (39) on the circumference of the drum (18) and which are arranged between the drum bores (19), and in the loading position, the trigger (4) is automatically latched against actuation.
