A needleless injector includes a barrel for receiving an injectable liquid, a nozzle closing one end of the barrel containing an injection orifice, and a plunger and piston combination in the barrel. A valve admits gas under pressure into the barrel behind the piston. A trigger opens the valve to cause the piston to move against the plunger, and a magnet retains the piston in a rest position in the barrel until acted upon by the gas under sufficient pressure to cause the piston and plunger to move to an extended, discharge position.
