Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassesF41B 011/00F41B 011/02 AbstractA projectile launcher includes a launcher body having a nonrotatable projectile magazine thereon, a piston and cylinder assembly in the launcher body, and a lever operated actuating mechanism on the launcher body. The actuating mechanism is operative for loading and releasing the piston in the cylinder for producing individual blasts of compressed air and also for rotating the cylinder so that sequential blasts of compressed air are delivered to sequential launching chambers on the magazine in order to launch sequential projectiles therefrom.Field of SearchHaving common supply to plural projector barrelsBy spring-driven plunger Within cylinder having diameter larger than projector barrel By plunger moving within cylinder For continual projection of successive projectiles (e.g., for "rapid fire", etc.) FLUID PRESSURE To create surge of pressure Magazine Rotary Self-contained in projectile or projectile-carrying cartridge | |
