An air gun is provided with a magazine safety system and methods of making the air gun safe utilizing the magazine. The air gun includes a magazine well protrusion (e.g., floorplate) configured to extend into the magazine well when no magazine is properly inserted into and received in the magazine well. In the extended position, the protrusion prevents actuation of the main valve of the air gun. When a magazine is properly inserted into the magazine well, the protrusion is pushed into a recessed or depressed position by the interaction of the magazine with the magazine well such that the protrusion does not prevent actuation of the main valve of the air gun.

A hop-up device for an airsoft gun allows a user to adjust the tension applied to a BB during the chambering of the BB in the airsoft gun. The hop-up device has an adjustable tension adjustment sleeve configured to constrict a desired amount around the BB. The tension adjustment sleeve provides tension on the BB when the air nozzle is seating, or chambering, the BB in the bucking lips of a rubber bucking prior to firing. By adjusting the tension adjustment sleeve, the user can increase or decrease the bucking lip tension on the BB to reduce or essentially eliminate the adverse effects from manufacturing tolerances, wear, and the like. These adverse effects can cause double feeding of the BBs, jamming, inconsistent firing, slow firing, midcap syndrome (the feed spring in the magazine is too strong and forces BBs against the air nozzle with excessive force), and the like.

The latching/locking loader mechanism of the present invention provides a quick-release latch mechanism where a user can unlock and lock the attachment of the loader to the paintball gun quickly and easily without the use of tools. The latching/locking mechanism stays locked or unlocked without further use of tools. A spring-biased gate is provided in the path of the paintballs, namely, in the feed neck of the loader. When the loader is installed on the paintball marker, via a feed collar, deflection posts on the feed collar push the gate out of the paintball path in the feed neck of the loader so that paintballs may freely pass from the storage chamber of the loader and then into the breech of the paintball marker. When not installed on a feed collar, the gate blocks the path of paintballs.

A pre-pack assembly for use with an air gun that fires non-lethal projectiles using a gas canister and for use with a magazine that is removably insertable into the air gun, the pre-pack includes a pre-pack housing that defines a first compartment containing non-lethal projectiles and a second compartment containing the gas canister, where inserting the pre-pack into a chamber of the magazine assembly fluidly connects the gas canister with the magazine and positions the non-lethal projectiles in a feeder that individually feeds non-lethal projectiles into the air gun when the magazine is inserted into the air gun.

Described is a spitball gun that is operable for collecting, wetting, and projecting paper ammunitions. The spitball gun includes a paper advancing chamber having an opening for receiving paper ammunition and an advancing mechanism for advancing paper through the paper advancing chamber to a loading chamber. A water tank is also connected with the loading chamber. A sliding handle is used to cause paper to be pulled through the paper advancing mechanism while water is released onto the paper from the water tank. A paper cutter is used to cut the paper and load the paper into the loading chamber. Finally, air from an attached air tank is used to expel a wetted paper wad from the loading chamber and through the barrel of the spitball gun.
