1. A compressed gas powered gun for discharging generally spherical projectiles of a type sufficiently fragile so as to break upon impact with a target and, upon the discharge of one projectile, to automatically position another projectile in a location within the gun to be subsequently discharged therefrom comprising:

  • a compressed gas source comprising a hollow cylindrical canister containing compressed gas, said canister forming the shoulder stock for the gun;

    a projectile supply magazine containing a plurality of projectiles, each projectile having a generally circular cross-sectional configuration;

    a barrel through which projectiles may be sequentially discharged;

    means including a user actuable trigger for selectively supplying compressed gas from the source to expel a projectile through the barrel, the means for selectively supplying compressed gas further including a spring loaded slide which is released to move under spring urging upon user actuation of the trigger, and a valve assembly actuable by slide impact to release gas from the source for propelling a projectile along and out of the barrel; and

    means for sequentially aligning projectiles from the supply magazine with the barrel including at least one projectile containing clip formed as a rigid open-ended hollow cylinder having an inside diameter substantially the same as the circular cross-section diameter of the projectile.
