ABSTRACT:
A magazine for an air gun comprises an outer case, a circular pellet carrier rotatably mounted in the outer case, and a cover that is pivotally mounted on the outer case. A coil spring resiliently biases the pellet carrier towards an end position. To load the magazine, the cover is pivoted to cause the pellet carrier to rotate to another end position, and a soft lead airgun pellet is then dropped in through a hole in the outer cover into a pellet chamber in the pellet carrier. The outer cover is then rotated, allowing successive pellets to be dropped into successive pellet chambers within the pellet carrier. In use, a probe pushes the first pellet out of the magazine into the breech of an airgun, 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.
