Novel firing assembly for compressed gas operated launching device

Abstract

A pneumatic assembly for a compressed gas gun having a hammer chamber including a hammer conduit, and a hammer with an aperture surrounding at least a portion of the hammer conduit. A compressed gas gun has a breech, a bolt moveable within the breech from a loading position to a firing position, a pneumatic assembly in communication with the breech, the pneumatic assembly comprising a high pressure chamber, and a hammer chamber. A discharge valve is disposed in the pneumatic assembly between the high pressure chamber and hammer chamber. A solenoid valve is provided for selectively supplying compressed gas to the hammer conduit.

1 . A conversion kit for upgrading a compressed gas gun, comprising: 
 a hammer conduit adapted to be disposed within the hammer chamber of the compressed gas gun, at least a portion of the hammer conduit having a first diameter;    a hammer including an aperture having a diameter greater than the first diameter of the hammer conduit for receiving at least a portion of the hammer conduit within the aperture.    
     
     
         2 . The conversion kit of  claim 1 , further comprising a hammer return spring for biasing the hammer to a ready-to-fire position.  
     
     
         3 . The conversion kit of  claim 1 , further comprising a trigger frame including a solenoid valve, the solenoid valve adapted to be in communication with the hammer conduit.
