Abstract: A dynamic sealing chamber magazine for an air gun carries multiple projectiles for the air gun and sequentially places each projectile in line with the bore of the gun while serving as a chamber for the projectile and gun. Each chamber of the magazine is configured to temporarily seal to an air orifice and barrel bore of the air gun upon firing. Each chamber includes a hole and two tubular sleeves therein. A pressurized gas released into a chamber when the chamber is aligned with the air orifice and barrel bore and the gun is fired pushes the sleeves apart from inside the chamber and compresses the sleeves into sealing engagement with opposing breech surfaces of the gun surrounding the air orifice and barrel bore. The sleeves decompress, unseal, and retract to a static position when the gas pressure decreases below the elastic potential energy of the sleeves.

Each chamber of the magazine is configured to temporarily seal to an air orifice and barrel bore of the air gun upon firing. Each chamber includes a hole and two tubular sleeves disposed therein. A pressurized gas released into a chamber when the chamber is aligned with the air orifice and barrel bore and the gun is fired pushes the sleeves apart from inside the chamber and compresses the sleeves into sealing engagement with opposing breech surfaces of the gun surrounding the air orifice and barrel bore. The sleeves decompress, unseal, and retract to a static position when a force applied to the sleeves by the gas decreases below the elastic potential energy of the sleeves.

Abstract: An air gun is provided with a magazine safety system and methods of making the air gun safe utilizing the magazine. The air gun includes a magazine well protrusion (e.g., floorplate) configured to extend into the magazine well when no magazine is properly inserted into and received in the magazine well. In the extended position, the protrusion prevents actuation of the main valve of the air gun. When a magazine is properly inserted into the magazine well, the protrusion is pushed into a recessed or depressed position by the interaction of the magazine with the magazine well such that the protrusion does not prevent actuation of the main valve of the air gun.

Abstract: A linear magazine for an air gun advances upon actuation of a cocking mechanism. The magazine carries multiple projectiles for the air gun and translates perpendicularly to the bore (i.e., barrel) of the air gun to advance to the next projectile. The magazine places a series of projectiles in line with the bore of the gun while serving as a chamber for the projectile and gun and sealing to the air orifice and barrel bore of the air gun. In one embodiment, each hole or chamber of the linear magazine is arranged in a single row.

Abstract: A cocking and loading system for an air rifle utilizes a movable compression cylinder linked to the cocking arm to urge a piston into a cocked position, wherein the compression cylinder returns to a rest position urging a pellet feed tube through a magazine to load a pellet into the barrel.

Abstract: A foamed polystyrene shooting target (10) is made thinner and more dense with a thin skin (13) of solid polystyrene on its entry face (12) and with a printed image (11) for shooting at. The preferred thickness is from 0.050 to 0.080 inches, and the preferred density is from 3.0 to 4.0 pounds per cubic foot. The target then forms clean cut and full size holes for bullets passing through so that it serves as an accurate indicator of where the bullets hit. This indication is normally visible from where the bullets were fired.
