A gas powered gun (1) for discharge of projectiles, comprising:a valve (8) arranged to exhaust compressed gas from a pressure chamber (11) to thereby discharge a projectile inside a barrel;a hammer (9) arranged to cooperate with said valve (8) to open said valve (8);a movable spring abutment (17);a spring (13) arranged between said hammer and said spring abutmentand arranged to spring load said hammer in a spring loading direction towards said valve;an adjustment mechanism (21) including a rotatable cam member (22), being rotatably arranged with a rotational axis (A) substantially parallel to said spring loading direction,the rotatable cam member (22) comprising a cam surface (25) facing essentially in said spring loading direction and being configured to cooperate with the spring abutment (17) which is pressed by said spring (13) in said spring loading direction to rest against said cam surface (25), so that, when said rotatable cam member (22) is turned around said rotational axis (A), said spring abutment (17) will slide against said cam surface (25) and move said spring abutment (17) in said spring loading direction, to thereby adjust a pretension of said spring (13).
