Abstract

This invention can make a valve compact in function and improve using efficiency of a compressed gas and make an air gun compact. To achieve this object, an air gun is constructed by a hit pin arranged in a cylinder portion, a valve body arranged within a hollow portion of the cylinder portion and having a bullet supplying nozzle chamber and a valve pin chamber, a gas inlet port opened to a sleeve-shaped circumferential face of the valve pin chamber, a bullet supplying nozzle arranged within the bullet supplying nozzle chamber, and a valve pin arranged within the valve pin chamber. The hit pin is pressed on a muzzle side and the valve pin is slid to the muzzle side so that an airtight state between a valve pin flange portion and a side face of the valve pin chamber on its gun rear end side is released. A compressed gas is supplied to a nozzle chamber side opening and a valve pin chamber side opening from a clearance between the valve pin flange portion and the gun rear end side face of the valve pin chamber.
