1. An air gun comprising:
a firing mechanism for firing a projectile from the air gun by means of compressed gas;
a gas supply duct configured to direct a supply of compressed gas to the firing mechanism;
a trigger configured to actuate the firing mechanism when the trigger is shifted from a non-firing position to a firing position; and
a safety mechanism having a safety-on position and a safety-off position;
wherein the safety mechanism in the safety-on position prevents the trigger from actuating the firing mechanism and closes the gas supply duct; and
wherein the safety mechanism in the safety-off position enables the trigger to actuate the firing mechanism and opens the gas supply duct to enable actuating the firing mechanism with compressed gas to fire a projectile.
