Abstract: An illuminated feedneck may be utilized in a toy blaster, laser tag gun, airsoft or other toy gun, and the like to illuminate ammunition, such as Gellets, for use in non-daylight hours or indoors. A feedneck may be illuminated through ultraviolet light that may be powered through batteries and/or one or more other forms of power. The illuminated feedneck may charge ammunition through a series of specialty UVA (˜400 nM) wavelength light emitting diodes (LEDs) that safely become illuminated with a long-lasting and bright green glow. The ammunition may be infused to create a glow-in-the dark tracer effect as they are powered and pass through the illuminated feedneck.

Abstract: An ammunition bucket may be provided for preparation of ammunition for toy blasters having greater ease of use with less mess. The bucket may be collapsible having sides that collapse in an accordion style, and the bucket may include a carrying handle. The lid may be sealed and resistant to splashing and leakage. A lower recessed port area may be provided at the lowest portion of the bucket body. This port may be a three-way drain and strain port. The lower recessed port area may include a dispensing valve with a primary control notch and a flap that provides rate control for the valve. The dispensing valve also may include a secondary control notch that limits an opening of the dispensing valve to prevent ammunition from leaving the bucket.
