Abstract: An improved compressed gas operated pistol is provided which maximizes use of compressed gas energy by minimizing loss of energy from the chamber into the magazine. An aft end portion of the barrel of the pistol is formed extended as a thin wall portion. When the trigger of the pistol is actuated, this thin wall portion of the barrel is fitted tightly into the chamber, confining the next pellet to be fired within the cylindrical walls of the thin wall portion and the rear surface of the chamber, and sealing off the chamber from the magazine. In this manner, the full impact of the energy provided for firing by the compressed gas cylinder to the chamber is imparted on the pellet.

Abstract: It comprises an impact resistant casing (1) having a frontal opening and means for removably fastening a target (2) covering such opening, the target (2) being of a sheet material through which projectiles can go and having an external face with a depicted motive to be shot. Electronic means are provided for detecting the position of impact on said target (2), comprising an electronic camera (3) arranged to obtain successive images of a face of target (2) after each shot, an image treating unit (4) for determining the geometric center of the projectile at each impact from a treatment of the obtained images, and a data receiving and/or retransmitting center (6,7) for displaying the results on a viewing screen (13, 14) and/or for retransmit them through a telecommunication network.
