Abstract
The invention relates to a device for projecting a projectile B using a compressed air, in particular provided to be built into a replica weapon, associated with a source of electrical energy. The device comprises a sheath (10) which receives an electromagnetic means (12) for moving a movable piston (34) within the sheath (10) between a thrust nose (14) sealing a front (10-1) of the sheath provided with a projection tube, and a breech (18) sealing a rear (10-2) of the sheath. The invention also relates to a method for controlling the device.
