An airgun includes a sliding bolt 12 which is movable from a charging position, where a pellet 20 may be placed in front of the bolt, to a loaded position where the pellet is pushed into the breech 10 of the gun, and is located in front of a gas inlet port 22 through which compressed air or other gas may be introduced into the breech. The sliding bolt may then be returned to the charging position, where a second pellet 21 may be placed in front of the bolt, the bolt then being moved to a intermediate position where the second pellet is pushed into the breech so as to be located between the gas inlet port 22 and the end of the breech, which is sealed by the bolt 12. After the first pellet 20 has been discharged, the bolt may be advanced to the loaded position, thus pushing the second pellet 21 in front of the gas inlet port 22 where it, in turn, may be discharged. In an alternative arrangement (figures 2 to 7, not shown), a second gas inlet port (25) may be located behind the second pellet. A third pellet may be located behind the second inlet port. |
