An improved air gun for firing paint balls, pellets,, consisting of a passively venting and freeze resistant regulator, a pressure differential trigger mechanism, and a muzzle break with angled sidewalls. The freeze resistant regulator regulates incoming high pressure gas to a user predetermined pressure to operate the gun while avoiding freezing of the regulator associated with frigid incoming compressed gases and high firing rates. This is accomplished by using a heat transmission component formed by the engagement between a hemispheric shaped tip of a regulating pin and a hemispheric cavity of an adjustment piston. Passive venting of gas from the gun upon removal of the pressurized gas supply is provided by the regulator using a reciprocating regulating pin and adjustment piston which combine to compress a seal into a seat only when pressurized gas is attached to the air gun. Once detached from a pressurized air supply the compressed air in the gun vents through the seat. Firing of the gun is achieved using a pressure differential trigger mechanism capable of fine pull adjustment using a trigger biasing mechanism. Greater accuracy of projectiles leaving the gun is provided by the muzzle break featuring of a plurality of elongated oval slots having angled sidewalls to parse propulsion gases from the projectile which reduces air turbulence encountered by the projectile upon exit from the gun.
