Patent ABSTRACT A pneumatic projectile discharging device uses cylinders of compressed gas for unloading or removing obstructions from the barrel of muzzle-loading guns. The device includes a valve body, a hollow handle piece, an adapter and a plurality of actuators which allow the device to be used on various types of guns. One end of the valve body is equipped with means for providing an airtight seal with the cylinder and means for piercing the end of the cylinder to release the gas. The cylinder of compressed gas is enclosed by the hollow handle piece which is detachably connected to the valve body and is provided with means for advancing the cylinder causing the end thereof to be pierced by the piercing means. The valve body houses a valve to selectively release the gas from the cylinder through a connecting passage. The upper portion of the valve body is provided with the adapter for sealing to the nipple or vent in the breech of a muzzle-loading gun. When a cylinder has been inserted and pierced and the proper actuator has been connected, the device can be fitted to the nipple or vent in the breech of the gun and pressed forward to open the valve and release the pressurized gas. The pressurized gas is released into the gun behind the charge or obstruction pushing it through the barrel and out of the gun. Various ways for introducing the pressurized gas into the barrel are disclosed.
