A low muzzle energy air gun adapted to receive a known compressed air cartridge has in place of the conventional dual action trigger assembly, a freely pivoted trigger lever 42 which can readily be retracted to a transport position. When in this position the lever 42 is held by locking means, eg. magnets 51, 54, or a spring biased detent (112, 114, Fig. 6). Finger pressure applied to the rear end of lever 42 causes it to be released and engage one end of a firing pin 56, whereupon finger pressure is now applied to the opposite end of the lever 42 to move pin 56 along a channel 50 and so engage the firing element of the air cartridge 32. The air gun is shown (Fig. 1) disguised as a walking cane. <IMAGE> |
