Airsoft gun with gun mounted air supply system

摘要

An air supply system for use with an airsoft gun to power a pneumatic engine contained within a receiver of the airsoft gun. The air supply system includes a bottle of pressurized air that supplies the pressurized air at a first pressure to the pneumatic drive engine. A pressure regulator is located between the supply of pressurized air and the pneumatic drive engine and operates to reduce the pressure of the air from the first pressure to a second pressure. The pressure regulator is supported on the airsoft gun and allows the pressure of air supplied to the pneumatic engine of the airsoft gun to be selectively regulated. The pressure regulator includes an adjustment dial that allows an operator to change the pressure of air supplied to the airsoft gun. The pressure regulator can be located either on a stock of the airsoft gun, within a pistol grip of the airsoft gun or between the bottle of pressurized air and the receiver.

主权项

1. An air supply system for use with an airsoft gun that includes a receiver that includes a drive engine that launches solid plastic projectiles through a barrel, comprising:
a self-contained bottle of pressurized air having an outlet that provides air at a first pressure; a stock mounted to a back end of the receiver that is distal to a barrel end, wherein the bottle of pressurized air is located above the stock and the stock at least partially supports the bottle of pressurized air at a position other than at the outlet; a pressure regulator supported by the stock, wherein the pressure regulator receives the supply of air at the first pressure and discharges the supply of air at a second pressure lower than the first pressure; and an adjustment dial formed on the pressure regulator, wherein the adjustment dial is movable to adjust the second pressure.
