Patent attributes
An air gun, a removable magazine for an air gun, and associated methods. The air gun includes a safety mechanism that in a safety-on position prevents the trigger from actuating the firing mechanism and closes the gas supply duct, and in a safety-off position enables the trigger to actuate the firing mechanism and opens the gas supply duct to enable actuating the firing mechanism with compressed gas to fire a projectile. The removable magazine includes, a projectile feeder, a cavity for a gas canister, a push valve for selectively releasing pressurized gas from the gas canister, and a valve actuator. The valve actuator includes a socket that releasably receives a nipple of a gas supply coupling carried by an air gun, forms a seal with the nipple, and opens the aerosol valve when coupled with the gas supply coupling.
