    Gats Etc How Does A Push-In Barrel Cocker Work

    Has anyone got a cross-section of one of these horrible little things? I still cannot understand how they work.

    Although what is more amazing is that anyone would want to buy one as it seems to be the airgun equivalent of building a motorcycle by attaching the innards from a wind-up alarm clock to a pushalong dog.

    The inner barrel has an external concentric piston with a leather seal fastened to it at breeach end.
    This compresses the air around the outside of the inner barrel as it flies forward in the cylinder.
    The transfer port is drilled into barrel part way along and the reason why the loading pin is so long, to push the projectile ahead of the transfer port....simples
    Invented by Mr Quackenbush I think...?

    Sounds just like my wife when I get enthusiastic about anything mechanical.

    They work sort of like a humane killer and will kill a charging bull butterly on a good day.

    working of gats

    Simple...they dont! I was thinking a gat tournament would be a good laugh, with targets about the size of a dartboard with the bull 6" at least in dia. would be shot at 6ft range(i know pushing it a bit for most gats accuracy) & posted up here for all to see.

    Sorry to hijack this thread, but has the pellet left the barrel by the time it's come to a sudden halt? Presumably not?
