A blaster for shooting projectiles that includes a housing that defines a housing interior, and a variable velocity barrel assembly positioned in the housing interior. The variable velocity barrel assembly includes a barrel that defines a barrel axis and a barrel interior. The barrel includes an exit opening at a distal end thereof. At least a first opening communicates the barrel interior with an exterior of the barrel. The first opening is defined through a side wall of the barrel. A slider member that includes a cylindrical portion that surrounds the barrel is movable axially along the barrel between a maximum velocity position where the cylindrical portion covers the first opening and a minimum velocity position where the slider member does not cover the first opening.

The present invention discloses an air gun. The air gun having a recoil gas unit and a bolt carrier unit. The recoil gas unit comprises a recoil guide tube configured to supply compressed air and a recoil assembly spring for movement of the recoil tube carrier. The bolt carrier unit is coupled to the recoil gas unit and comprises a piston disposed at a first end of the bolt carrier unit. The bolt carrier unit also comprises a valve chamber for performing a firing stroke of the air gun. The bolt carrier unit also comprises a piston chamber integrated at a second end of the bolt carrier unit. The piston chamber is configured to facilitate movement of the piston and to receive the compressed air, for performing a recoiling stroke of the air gun. The recoil gas unit facilitates the firing stroke and the recoiling stroke of the air gun.

A means of creating a novel, balanced, plunger valve. It is designed by combining the valve seats with the valve stem by varying the diameter of the valve stem. While the valve is closed it experiences minimal net force, but once opened, the working fluid assists in minimizing the response time of the valve. This creates a very efficient dump valve. The design limits the number of components needed for the valve to be assembled which reduces the cost, simplifies the maintenance, enhances the strength, and creates a more reliable valve. The following includes several methods of accomplishing this.
