  • Patent number: 6745755
    Abstract: The subject of the present invention is a magazine of shots for repeating guns, in particular for compressed-air guns, which comprises at least two cylinders in series, front and rear, respectively, the front cylinder provided with N identical chambers for housing the shots and with a crown of N teeth intended to be engaged by a mechanism of rotation, the rear cylinder provided with N−1 chambers for housing the shots and with an aperture of smaller diameter intended to make possible the passage of the firing gas from the valve to the chamber of the front cylinder, which is aligned with the barrel from time to time. The front and rear cylinders are provided with complementary couplings, shaped to interact with one another for a contemporary rotation of the two cylinders only after the first N shots have been fired from the front cylinder.

  • Patent number: 5575101
    Abstract: A gun equipped with a mobile handshield for controlling gun loading, includes a casing (1), a barrel (2) mounted onto this casing (1) and extending axially, a mobile part (6) extending in the axial direction in relation to the casing (1) for controlling a loading mechanism mounted in the casing. The handshield (5) is fixed to this mobile part (6) and is guided by guiding means (11-12), such that the handshield (5) is fixed in a tilting manner to the mobile part (6). The guiding means (11-12) of the handshield (5) are such that they make the rear end of the handshield (5) tilt downwards when it is moved backwards, such that the outer rearward end of the handshield (5) can move over a distance under the casing (1).
