PNEUMATICALLY OPERATED PROJECTILE LAUNCHING DEVICE

Pneumatic gun which contains a plurality of chambers in communication with each other including a chamber (1) containing and distributing pressurized gas, a chamber (2) containing a compressed gas storage chamber (11) and mechanisms for filling the storage chamber with gas and releasing gas from the storage chamber to fire the projectile, and a chamber (3) containing mechanisms for loading and launching the projectile. The electrical control unit preferably include s an electrical power source which activates an electrical timing circuit when the electrical switch is closed, and two electrically operated pneumatic flow distribution devices (35, 36) which are sequentially energized by the electrical timing circuit to enable the loading of a projectile for launching and to release compressed gas from the storage chamber (11) to fire the projectile, respectively.
