High pressure compressed gas pressure vessels and devices utilizing such vessels are disclosed herein. More particularly, aspects of the present invention are directed to high pressure (i.e., nitrogen or N2 based) pressurized gas cylinders with pierceable membranes recessed from the opening of the pressure vessel such that prior art piercing mechanisms cannot pierce the membrane for safety purposes. Additionally, aspects of the present invention are directed to pressurized gas operated devices with elongated pins for piercing pressure vessels with recessed pierceable membranes.

An airsoft pellet receptacle device. The device may comprise a hollow body having a tapered helical shape. The hollow body may comprise a first opening at a first end of the hollow body, and a second opening at a second end of the hollow body. A diameter of the hollow body may decrease from the first end to the second end. The device may further comprise a base component comprising a pellet inlet, a collection chamber, and a hollow path within the base component connecting the pellet inlet to the collection chamber. In some embodiments, the second end of the hollow body may be coupled to the pellet inlet of the base component. Pellets shot into the first opening may travel down the length of the hollow body and through the pellet inlet into the collection chamber for retrieval.

An Airsoft shotgun firing mechanism has been developed that fires the spherical projectiles of each shot sequentially in rapid succession. The shotgun firing mechanism directs the airflow sequentially against each spherical projectile in the shot, thus pushing each spherical projectile out of the barrel of the Airsoft shotgun. The flow rates of the air are balanced for all the spherical projectiles so all of the spherical projectiles are accelerating when the last spherical projectile is fired. By balancing the airflows, the spherical projectiles have essentially the same energy. The relative acceleration of the spherical projectiles out of the shotgun barrel is determined or selected by balancing the size and configuration of a bypass channel versus the number or stack of spherical projectiles to be fired.

Disclosed embodiments may include devices and methods for a flashlight grip. The flashlight grip may include a handle with a mount configured to hold a flashlight. The mount may include a first mounting portion coupled to the handle and a second mounting portion coupled to the handle. The second mounting portion may be positioned opposite the first mounting portion. The first mounting portion and the second mounting portion may form a cavity. The flashlight grip may further include one or more connectors extending through the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion that may be used to tighten the first mounting portion and second mounting portion, thereby securing a flashlight in between the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion.
