Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An airgun has a high pressure reservoir for providing a pressurized motive gas to a breech to fire a projectile. A regulator is intermediate the high pressure reservoir and a downstream firing pressure reservoir for providing a consistent regulated pressure of the motive gas in the firing pressure reservoir. The airgun includes a bypass line for selectively connecting the high pressure reservoir to the firing pressure reservoir, independently of the regulator. Thus, an operator can select a firing of the airgun with either a regulated gas pressure in the firing reservoir or the pressure of the high pressure reservoir.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method of operating an airgun, the method comprising: (a) selectively bypassing a pressure regulator in an airgun to expose a firing pressure reservoir downstream of the pressure regulator to an unregulated pressurized gas from a high pressure reservoir upstream of the pressure regulator, the pressure regulator reducing the pressurized gas passing through an inlet of the pressure regulator from the pressure of the high pressure reservoir to a lower predetermined regulated pressure passing from an outlet of the pressure regulator to the firing pressure reservoir. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the selectively bypassing the pressure regulator includes passing the pressurized gas from the high pressure reservoir through a bypass line fluidly connecting the high pressure reservoir to the downstream firing pressure reservoir.
