This is a Pre-Charged Pneumatic that I built about 3 years ago called the BazookAir.
The 1.5" titanium tube holds 550cc's of 4,000 PSI compressed air. A small tube goes through the 10 oz striker to connect the air in the foregrip with the air held be in the stock.
The Delrin valve is fed by a relatively small pre-chamber that, combined with the large air volume, keeps the shot string much more consistent than most big-bore PCP's.
The trigger pulls a bar that rotates the sear. This bar can be lengthened for use in a bull-pup.
The striker is pulled back to cock before each shot.
This is the only safety. It can be un-cocked if a shot is not taken.
The breech holds 3 rounds stacked in-line with the air entering just behind the front bullet. After it is fired the spring-loaded bolt handle is pulled out about .100 and pushed forward about 1" to move bullet #2 into position.
I got this idea from the Benjamin 422 of the 1950's.
The length requires the use of bullets that are 200g to 250g so I built the valve/striker/transfer port for consistency rather than the higher FPE that a 400g-500g bullet can make.
