Actuation mechanism for compressed gas valve of an airgun

Abstract

An actuation assembly 105 for actuating a compressed gas main valve assembly 103 includes a trigger 133, a body 303, and an actuation valve 305. The trigger is configured to selective activate the actuation assembly in response to input from a user (e.g., when the user pulls the trigger). The body is configured to support the trigger, connect to the main valve assembly, provide compressed gas to an inlet 119 of a shot plenum 117 of the main valve assembly, and selectively supply compressed gas to a control port 131 of a switch plenum 115 of the main valve assembly. When activated (i.e., actuated), the actuation valve assembly blocks flow of compressed gas to the control port of the main valve assembly and vents the switch plenum to atmosphere (e.g., via the control port).
