Abstract
An air powered gun system for allowing a user to fire large projectiles at extremely high velocities by utilizing a conventional air pump. The inventive device includes a stock, a barrel attached to the stock, an air valve connected to the rear end of the barrel, an air chamber connected to the air valve opposite of the barrel, a conventional valve stem attached to the air chamber a trigger lever connected to the air valve, a spring connected to the trigger lever, and a loading shaft for loading a standard projectile or a lighted projectile. A pressure gauge may also be attached to the air chamber to show the pressure within the air chamber. The user inserts the standard projectile or the lighted projectile into the rear portion of the barrel by utilizing the loading shaft. A conventional air pump is removably connectable with the valve stem of the air chamber for inputting pressurized air into the air chamber. The air chamber is designed to receive air pressures that a conventional air pump is capable of inputting. The user removes the conventional air pump after the desired amount of air pressure is inputted and the user then manipulates the trigger lever to release the air pressure within the air chamber into the barrel thereby projecting the standard projectile or lighted projectile.
