The loader is provided with projectile ports for holding the projectiles, and the detent is engageable with each port as it moves into alignment with the barrel. The detent is slidably mounted within a detent holder, and the detent holder is connected to a source of pressurized gas. A gas passage extends through the detent, and when the gun is fired, pressurized gas flows through the detent and propels the projectile through the barrel. | |
