Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A valve for a pneumatic gun includes a valve stem arranged through a compressed gas storage area that is configured to store a quantity of high-pressure compressed gas for a firing operation. A valve plug is arranged on an end of the valve stem and seals an air port that is configured to communicate compressed gas from a compressed gas storage area to a breech. A piston is arranged on the valve stem, wherein one end of the piston receives a quantity of low-pressure compressed gas from a solenoid to initiate the firing operation of the pneumatic gun. An air through-port is arranged through the valve stem and communicates high-pressure compressed gas from the firing operation to an end of the piston to assist in closing the valve plug. A pneumatic gun and method of operating are also provided.
