Abstract

The invention discloses a compressed gas-operated firearm (1), especially a pistol, which at the utilization of a drum (18) for multi-shot projectile receipt distinguishes itself through a linearly displaceable weapon barrel (3) to achieve a loading position, or, respectively, firing position, and through a trigger (4) which is automatically secured against actuation in the loading position. Furthermore, a new type of valve system (25) is proposed for the impulse-like emission of the compressed gas upon the discharge of a shot.
