Abstract
The present invention relates to a laser pistol characterized in that the laser (1) is inserted into the barrel and electronically triggered (13). In order to have a true shooting sensation, a compressed air cylinder (28) causes the pistol carriage to recoil. The cylinder (28) is controlled by a changeover valve (24') which is actuated by a control element coupled with the trigger (9). When working, the changeover valve (24') causes a compressed air loader (17') to connect with the cylinder (28).
Claims9
A laser pistol for simulating a pistol shot comprising:
- a pistol grip having a magazine receiving chamber open at a lower end of the grip;
- a barrel mounted on the pistol grip;
- a carriage carried by the pistol grip and movable along the barrel;
- a trigger and a trigger guard carried by the pistol grip and the barrel;
- a hammer for cocking the trigger and actuating the pistol;
- a compressed gas magazine receivable within the chamber of the pistol grip through the open lower end of said chamber;
- a laser in the barrel for projecting a laser beam from the barrel when the trigger is actuated;
- an electronics control system disposed in the pistol and coupled with the laser and the trigger;
- a battery housed in the pistol grip and connected to the electronics control system;
- a valve block carried by the pistol grip and having a changeover valve coupled to said trigger for actuation by said trigger;
- a compressed gas cylinder having a piston rod carried by the carriage, a free end of said piston rod bearing against said carriage for moving the carriage rearwardly in the direction of the hammer when driven by compressed gas from said compressed gas cylinder;
- said compressed gas cylinder having a piston forming a compressed gas chamber on a forward side of said cylinder away from the piston rod;
- said compressed gas chamber being in flow communication with the changeover valve;
- said valve block having a connector for communicating with said compressed gas magazine.
