Abstract
A gas operated auto loading shotgun having an axially elongate magazine tube and a gas operated piston/cylinder coaxially surrounding the magazine tube includes a gas pressure relief mechanism at the forward end of the gas cylinder for venting gases of combustion in a forward direction toward the muzzle end of the gun when gas pressure within the gas cylinder exceeds a predetermined magnitude. The pressure relief mechanism includes two angularly spaced apart vent ports communicating with the interior of the gas cylinder and terminating at valve seats at the forward end of the gas cylinder. Spherical valve elements seated on the valve seats are biased toward the valve seats by an annular flat spring member secured in fixed on the gas cylinder by a single fastener and surrounding an associated portion of the magazine tube.
