A paintball marker or other compressed gas firearm is provided including a ram driven by an electropneumatic valve when a trigger is actuated to cause a main valve between a high pressure air supply and a firing chamber to be opened. This ram assembly is independent from the main valve structurally and coupled to the air supply and electropneumatic valve sufficiently flexibly to allow the ram assembly to be operable when the ram assembly is displaced away from the main valve. A bolt is provided for directing pressurized air from the main valve to the firing chamber when the main valve is opened, and with the bolt configured to provide a high pressure air pathway which has a high degree of effectiveness in driving the ball out of the firing chamber without distorting a trajectory of the ball. The bolt can be stationary when air is flowing past the bolt. |

The invention relates to a non-locking self-loading pistol. The breech closing spring (19; 19') of said self-loading pistol is closely surrounded from the outside by a case (24) consisting of elastomer material, the length of said case corresponding approximately to the length of the compressed breech closing spring (19; 19'). Said case absorbs part of the kinetic energy of the breech and introduces it into the grip (1). The invention also relates to a kit for converting a locking self-loading pistol into a non-locking version and vice versa. The inventive conversion kit comprises a change barrel (3') which does not engage with the breech (5), the elastomer case (24) mentioned above and the breech closing spring (19) or replacement breech closing spring (19') which said case surrounds. The invention also relates to a weapons system comprising a grip (1) and the aforementioned interchangeable parts (3, 3', 19, 19', 24) for assembling optionally either a locking or non-locking self-loading pistol. The non-locking self-loading pistol is configured for shooting very weakly loaded ammunition as well as normally loaded ammunition. It is also able capable of shooting very heavily loaded ammunition. |

An ambidextrous lower receiver for an automatic rifle is an apparatus that allows a rifle bolt of an upper receiver that is mounted on the apparatus to be manipulated from either side of the automatic rifle. The apparatus includes a lower-receiver body, a bolt catch button, a bolt catch lever, a pusher finger, and a length-adjustable pin. The lower-receiver body attaches with the upper receiver of an automatic rifle and connects a magazine and a pistol grip to the automatic rifle. The lower-receiver body positions the bolt catch button and the bolt catch lever. The bolt catch button releases and locks the bolt catch lever. The bolt catch lever releases and locks the rifle bolt of a corresponding upper receiver. The bolt catch button manipulates the bolt catch lever from the opposite side of the automatic rifle with the pusher finger and the length-adjustable pin. |

A slide assembly quick release pin and arm that secure a recoil assembly within a slide. The pin is inserted through a pair of apertures in a front portion of the slide and through a bore in the nose portion of the recoil assembly aligned between the apertures. As the pin secures the recoil assembly within the slide an arm attached to the end of the pin rests in a recess, flush to the body of the slide in a locked orientation. The pin arm is rotated from a locked orientation within the recess in the assembled configuration to an unlocked orientation out of the recess before the firearm is disassembled. Additionally, the arm acts as a handle for grasping and rotating to provide a mechanical advantage when a user is removing or inserting the pin into the apertures and bore. |

An improved safety actuator for an AK-47 firearm. The improved actuator utilizes a conventional receiver actuator modified to include a grip arm. The internal mechanism of the improved actuator and the conventional actuator are identical. This allows replacement of the conventional actuator with an improved actuator during field stripping, with no gun smithing. A grip arm depends from the receiver actuator, preferably from the receiver actuator's pivot point. The grip arm is aligned with the rifle's pistol grip. The shooter can control the safety actuator by squeezing the grip arm onto the pistol grip with his dominant hand. Thus, the safety may be moved from a safe position to a fire position without removing either hand from a sound firing position. The grip arm may be provided with a push bar to facilitate use of the dominant thumb to return the safety actuator to a safe position. |
