The invention discloses a gas gun type impact response spectrum testing machine. The testing machine comprises an impact supporting seat, an impact plate, a base, a gas storage tank and an impact tube, wherein the impact supporting seat and the base are fixedly arranged on a foundation, the impact plate is fixedly arranged on the impact supporting seat, the gas storage tank is fixedly arranged on the base and filled with high-pressure gas, a piston valve is arranged in the gas storage tank, the impact tube is vertically located below the impact plate and connected with the gas outlet of the gas storage tank through a connecting bin, a pellet is arranged in the impact tube, and when the piston valve is opened, the pellet has a certain speed to impact the impact plate upwards under the pushing force of the high-pressure gas. The testing machine can simulate high-magnitude impact rapidly and stably, the repeatability and uniformity of the tabletop of the testing machine and the speed control over the pallet are good, and the testing machine is convenient to install, maintain and use.
