A magazine for an airgun comprises an outer case 1, a circular pellet carrier 2 rotatably mounted in the outer case 1, and a cover 3 that is pivotally mounted on the outer case 1. A coil spring 4 resiliently biases the pellet carrier 2 towards an end position. To load the magazine, the cover 3 is pivoted to cause the pellet carrier 2 to rotate to another end position, and a soft lead airgun pellet is then dropped in through a hole in the outer cover 3 into a pellet chamber 21 in the pellet carrier 2. The outer cover 3 is then rotated, allowing successive pellets to be dropped into successive pellet chambers within the pellet carrier 2. In use, a probe pushes the first pellet out of the magazine into the breech of an airgun, is then retracted, and following this, the magazine automatically indexes under spring pressure to present the next pellet ready for loading. The pellets themselves serve as part of the indexing mechanism. The transfer probe places the pellets accurately in position within the breech of the airgun. |
