Feinwerkbau 40 target pistol breech
A close-up of the open breech of a left-hand Feinwerkbau model 40 compressed air 4.5 mm pistol. The pellet is placed into the lowest part of the open breech and is pushed into the end of the barrel by a ram which moves forward as the top cover is closed. There are multi-shot versions of these guns made that take 5 pellets in a spring driven magazine and these are used in timed fire competitions, similar to the .22 Standard Pistol competition.
