An airgun comprises a barrel 1 for receiving a missile 5 to be fired, a bolt 17 movable relatively to said barrel 1 from a position enabling insertion of the missile 5 at a breech end thereof to a position in which a gas tight seal is formed behind the inserted missile 5, a chamber 2A for receiving an exchangeable gas reservoir 3 and a firing mechanism 6A,18 for discharging said reservoir 3. The chamber 2A is spaced apart from the bore of said barrel 1 in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said bore and a transfer port 15 is arranged to communicate between said chamber 2A and the bore of said barrel 1. This arrangement prevents the airgun from being converted to fire firearms cartridges as the chamber 2A does not communicate directly with the bore of the barrel. |
