Claim:
1. A compressed gas gun apparatus for discharging a projectile, comprising: a barrel, having a muzzle and a breech, fixed to a receiver that supports a cocking pawl and a gas valve positioned adjacent to said breech; a cocking member slidably disposed in parallel with said barrel, and having a spring stop fixed thereto; a cocking lever rotatably coupled to said receiver at a first end and coupled to said cocking member by a cocking link to thereby provide a mechanical advantage to slide said cocking member, and wherein opposing directions of rotation of said cocking lever selectively urges said cocking member towards said muzzle or toward said breech; a breech seal coupled to slide together with said cocking member, and configured to sealably engage said barrel adjacent to said breech; a hammer and a main spring disposed between said breech seal and said spring stop, and wherein rotation of said cocking lever to urge said cocking member toward said muzzle slides said breech seal away from said gas valve to facilitate insertion of the projectile into said breech, and further urges said hammer to engage said cocking pawl, thereby retaining said hammer, and wherein rotation of said cocking lever to urge said cocking member toward said breech compresses said main spring between said hammer and said spring stop, and further slides said breech seal to sealably engage said gas valve, and wherein actuation of said cocking pawl releases said hammer, which is driven by said main spring to impact said breech seal to further impact said gas valve, to thereby release compressed gas and discharge the projectile from said muzzle.
