ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a safety for the trigger mechanism of a gas powered gun including a safety lever, and a safety latch. The gun has a trigger mechanism including a trigger pivotably carrying a sear on a sear pivot pin, and a hammer engageable by the sear for opening a valve and releasing gas under pressure to propel a projectile from the gun barrel. The safety lever, safety latch, trigger and sear pivot pin have cooperating cam surfaces which return the safety latch to a safe position upon partial movement from its safe position toward a fire position; return the safety latch to its safe position upon partial squeezing and release of the trigger; return the safety latch and the safety lever to the safe position upon each firing of the gun whereby repeat firing is prevented; prevent repeat firing of the gun in the event the safety lever is continuously biased toward the fire position; and prevent firing of the gun when the safety lever is rigidly maintained in its fire position.
