Brass Eagle, Inc.

Aldo Perrone

A gun for firing pellets using compressed gas having a breech, a hammer mechanism slidably mounted in the breech, which mechanism includes a hammer and a spring mounted to drive the hammer forwards when the gun is fired, and a trigger pivotally connected to the breech. A sear device having a front and a rear end is mounted on a sear pin in the breech. A sear spring biases the sear device so that the front end thereof pivots downwardly after the hammer is released. This sear device includes a sear detent slidably mounted in the front end. A small spring biases the sear detent to move to a forward position in order to be engageable by the trigger. The valve mechanism of the gun is mounted by a pin about which extends an elastomeric bumper. This bumper reduces shock loading on a top frame of the gun.

Semi-automatic gun

An air gun for firing pellets having a unique aluminum breech formed by extrusion. Extending through the breech is a main, large longitudinal passageway in which the hammer mechanism and gas valve system is arranged. A smaller longitudinal passageway for compressed gas is located at one side of the main passageway and is connected to the main passageway by an opening in a central part of the breech. There is a housing for attaching a gas cylinder at the rear end of the breech. In this housing is a further gas passageway for delivering compressed gas from the cylinder to the smaller passageway in the breech. A sealed passageway in the valve body leads from the opening in the center part of the breech to a gas chamber in the valve body.
