Abstract

A gun suitable for firing paintballs or pellets using compressed gas having an elongate breech section with a longitudinal passageway formed therein and a handle and barrel connected thereto. A hammer is slidably mounted in the passageway and a spring biases the hammer to a forward, firing position. A gas valve system is arranged in the passageway and is connectible to a source of compressed gas. A trigger includes a sear engaging member slidable in a cavity formed in the trigger. A spring biases this member to a rearward position. A sear with a downwardly extending hook is pivotally mounted on a sear pin. A further spring biases the sear so as to pivot the rear end upwardly into engagement with a flange formed on the bolt of the gun. Preferably the hammer and bolt are rigidly connected together by means of two links positioned on opposite sides of the hammer and bolt to which they are both connected.
