During my weekly search online for new smart innovated way's of building cannons (Mainly pneumatic) I found this website which isn't a gun website but its pictures were and i couldn't figure out how this gun would be a Pneumatic Or even if is is one.

looks like it has a pump, so it probably is a pneumatic...

It's probably a hammer valve pneumatic gun, judging by the construction.

Yep, I'm guessing the hammer is cocked by that bolt slotted in the stock.

For me it looks more like a bolt action mechanism than a hammer... notice the hole drilled at the top of the barrel - that's probably the ammo loading port

The way it looks to me, the bolt action is to reload the projectile while the bolt in the smaller slot in the stock cocks the hammer - that or in spite of its primitive appearance, it has a safety catch :)

Lol, that actually is a safety catch :) the hammer must be reloaded by the bolt then.

And that magnet on the "magazine" turns out to be a slightly less sophisticated version of this:

Ah well, pretty is as pretty does :)
