| Abstract: |
This revolver has a revolver barrel indexable about an axis perpendicular to the axis of the bore of the gun barrel, and having radially disposed, projectile-holding chambers indexable successively into registry with said bore. When the trigger is squeezed, the hammer opens a valve, to deliver gas under pressure behind the projectile, which, at the time, is in registry with said bore, to propel said projectile from the gun. Opening of the valve also supplies gas to a piston to retract a reciprocable indexing mechanism on the frame. This mechanism recocks the hammer and permits the valve to close. A spring returns the mechanism to battery. On this return movement, a pawl carried by the mechanism indexes the revolver barrel.

First Claim:
Show all 11 claims |
Having thus described our invention, what we claim is:
1. A gas-operated gun, comprising
- a body having therein a chamber for holding a supply of gas under pressure,
- a barrel mounted on said body,
- a hammer movable in said body between a cocked and a fired position, respectively,
- a trigger for releasably holding said hammer in its cocked position,
- an indexable member rotatably mounted on said body for rotation about an axis transverse to the axis of said barrel, and having therein a plurality of spaced recesses, each of which is adapted to hold a projectile,
- means for rotatable indexing said member about its axis to advance said recesses successively into registry with said barrel,
- means for connecting said chamber with the recess that registers with said barrel, including a normally closed valve positioned to be opened by said hammer upon movement thereof to said fired position, and operable, when opened, to release gas from said chamber to propel from said barrel the projectile disposed in the registering recess, and
- movable means on said body operable by the gas released from said chamber to move said hammer to its cocked position, and momentarily to actuate said indexing means to advance another of said recesses into registry with said barrel.
