  • a rifle barrel having a sealing plug disposed therein proximate an exit end thereof, said barrel being formed with an inlet opening behind said plug for entry of compressed air therein; and

    a piston rod and cylinder arranged for sliding motion one with respect to the other, a gap being developed therebetween during a portion of said sliding motion, said cylinder being in fluid communication with said barrel inlet opening, said sliding motion being arranged to actuate a rifle bolt firing mechanism,such that when said compressed air is directed to flow within said rifle barrel, said piston and cylinder sliding motion simulates a rifle bolt firing action, and rapid release of said compressed air via said piston and cylinder gap simulates recoil.
