Claim:
A rotary clip rotation mechanism for an air gun, having a nail engagement section provided in a rotary clip operative to rotate, the rotary clip rotation mechanism comprising: an L-shaped arm, capable of rotating about an arm shaft, with a muzzle side end opening section formed from a curved surface section; a trigger arm provided at a position contacting a tip of the curved surface section of the L-shaped arm; a nail support arm provided so as to rotate on a gun rear end side of the L-shaped arm; and a nail operative to engage the nail engagement section of the rotary clip and mounted onto the nail support arm at a tip end thereof in a slidable, resiliently biased manner urging the nail towards the nail engagement section and, wherein in a normal rotary clip rotation state, the trigger arm presses against the L-shaped arm by pulling a trigger, the nail being urged in a tip direction is raised up by the nail support arm by rotation of the L-shaped arm about an arm axis, and the rotary clip is rotated by the nail engaging with the nail engagement section of the rotary clip, and in a rotary clip stationary state, the trigger arm presses against the L-shaped arm by pulling the trigger, the L-shaped arm rotates about the arm axis, and the nail being urged in the tip direction is raised up by the nail support arm until the nail engages the nail engagement section of the rotary clip and thereafter the nail retracts into the nail support arm in a slidably resistant manner.
