Abstract
A compressed gas powered gun having a valve assembly (40) for regulating the pressure from shot to shot, a trigger assembly (36) which alters the mode of operation of the gun and a bolt (38) for providing a recoil action and for releasing the gas from the valve assembly (40). The valve assembly (40) provides sufficient pressure to expel a projectile and to re-set the bolt (38) into its firing position. The trigger assembly is formed from a trigger (26), a four-position selector switch (46), and a sear (74). The gun uses an operation rod (118), which is integrally connected to the bolt (38) to advance the gun's magazine.
Claims35
A gas-powered gun, comprising means for simulating a recoil approximating a recoil generated by a gun firing a powder-propelled projectile including:
- a bolt reciprocating between a forward position and a rearward position, said bolt being biased towards its forward position, said bolt having a bolt face;
- a forward assist assembly, structured to bias the bolt towards its forward position in response to force applied by a shooter, and
- a valve assembly dimensioned and configured to discharge compressed gas both forward into a firing chamber and rearward onto said bolt face when said bolt reaches its forward position.
