Abstract

Embodiments of efficient high-velocity compressed gas-powered guns are described. In an embodiment, the gas-powered gun includes a lower receiver having a trigger assembly. The gas-powered gun may also include an upper receiver having a bolt assembly configured to operate in response to actuation of the trigger assembly, and a gas distribution assembly coupled to the bolt assembly, the gas distribution assembly configured to actuate the bolt assembly with a portion of gas used to fire a projectile.

Claims (19)

1 . An efficient high-velocity compressed gas-powered gun, comprising:

a lower receiver having a trigger assembly;

an upper receiver having:

a bolt assembly configured to operate in response to actuation of the trigger assembly; and

a gas distribution assembly coupled to the bolt assembly, the gas distribution assembly configured to actuate the bolt assembly with a portion of gas used to fire a projectile.

2 - 7 . (canceled)

8 . The gas powered gun of claim 1 , wherein the bolt assembly further comprises a bolt carrier group.

9 . The gas powered gun of claim 8 , wherein the bolt carrier group further comprises a bolt lock piston.

10 . The gas powered gun of claim 8 , wherein the bolt carrier group further comprises a bolt lock regulator body.

11 . The gas powered gun of claim 8 , wherein the bolt lock regulator body further comprises a bolt lock regulator poppet.

12 . The gas powered gun of claim 11 , wherein the bolt carrier group further comprises a bolt probe configured to receive a portion of the compressed gas used to eject the projectile from the gun.

13 . The gas powered gun of claim 12 , wherein the bolt lock regulator poppet receives compressed gas through the bolt probe for actuation of the bolt assembly.

14 . The gas powered gun of claim 13 , wherein the bolt lock regulator poppet is adjustable.

15 . The gas powered gun of claim 8 , wherein the bolt carrier group further comprises a bolt lock bushing.

16 . The gas powered gun of claim 8 , wherein the bolt assembly further comprises a bolt bushing configured to receive at least a portion of the bolt carrier group and allow actuation one or more components of the bolt carrier group relative to the bolt bushing.

17 . The gas powered gun of claim 1 , wherein the gas distribution assembly comprises a high pressure port configured to receive compressed gas.

18 . The gas powered gun of claim 17 , wherein the gas distribution assembly further comprises a valve poppet configured to release the compressed gas in the high pressure port for ejecting the projectile from the gun.

19 . The gas powered gun of claim 18 , further comprising a valve stem coupled to the valve poppet, the valve stem configured to actuate the valve poppet in response to being struck by a valve striker.

20 . The gas powered gun of claim 18 , wherein the valve poppet is adjustable.
