Abstract

Compressed-air weapon of the type equipped with a piston (6) capable of causing the compression of the air contained in a chamber (4) under the action of a spring (8), characterised in that the cocking of the weapon, that is to say the compression of the said spring (8), is obtained as a result of the interaction of the said piston (6) with transport elements (16-28) controlled by an electric motor (13) fed by a battery (14), the entire assembly being incorporated in the weapon. <IMAGE>
