Abstract

A compressed gas gun is provided, having a body. A firing mechanism may be received within the body and may comprise a bolt and valve arranged in-line along a longitudinal axis of the compressed gas gun body. Externally accessible velocity adjustment mechanisms may be provided. A removable end cap may be engaged to a rearward end of the body. A control circuit may be provided in communication with a pressure sensor.

Claims (14)

1. A compressed gas gun, comprising:

a body comprising a valve passage and a bolt passage;

a bolt positioned within the bolt passage;

a valve positioned within the valve passage of the body and having at least one portion movable within the valve passage;

a first threaded member positioned within a first passage of the body, the first passage in communication with the valve passage, the first threaded member configured for engagement with an external adjustment member, wherein movement of the first threaded member by the external adjustment member is configured to assist in controlling a velocity of a projectile fired from the compressed gas gun; and

a guide positioned axially within the bolt passage, wherein at least a portion of the bolt surrounds the guide; and

a removable end cap engaged to a rearward end of the body, wherein release of the end cap allows removal of the bolt and guide through a rearward opening in the compressed gas gun body.

2. The compressed gas gun of claim 1 , further comprising a control circuit in communication with a pressure sensor, wherein the control circuit assists in controlling a velocity at which a projectile is fired from the compressed gas gun under the force of a compressed gas in response to a signal received from the pressure sensor.

3. The compressed gas gun of claim 1 , further comprising an externally accessible trigger adjustment mechanism configured to control a position of the trigger.

4. The compressed gas gun of claim 1 , further comprising a spring positioned in the body and configured to assist in movement of the bolt.

5. The compressed gas gun of claim 1 , further comprising a second threaded member positioned within a second threaded passage of the body, the second threaded passage in communication with the bolt passage, the second threaded member configured for engagement with an external adjustment member, wherein movement of the second threaded member by the external adjustment member changes an operation of the bolt.

6. The compressed gas gun of claim 5 , wherein one of the first threaded members and the second threaded members comprises a movable portion that is movable parallel to the longitudinal axis of the compressed gas gun.

7. The compressed gas gun of claim 1 , wherein the bolt guide further comprises a gas passage.

8. The compressed gas gun of claim 1 , wherein the bolt is moveable from a rearward position in the body to a forward position in the body, and wherein, at the forward position, a gas flow passage is opened allowing compressed gas contained in the compressed gas gun body to fire a projectile from the compressed gas gun.
