Abstract: A device for controlling the firing of an airsoft gun is provided with a valve under a butt. Pressurized air from a high pressure air canister is directed to a rear section of a chamber in the butt. Opening of a valve directs the pressurized air further into a front section of the chamber via the valve so as to bring a plastic pellet to a ready to fire position. Closing of the valve causes pressurized air in the chamber to push a plunger forward to fire the plastic pellet.

First and second opposed lune-shaped shell assemblies, each assembly including at least an outer shell section and an inner shell section, are rotatably mounted independently of each other at opposed ends along the rotation axis, the inner section and base sections of each shell assembly nested within the outer section when the forward closure system is in an open position, mating edges of the outer sections abutting one another when the forward closure system is in a closed position. An actuator is coupled to each outer shell section.

Abstract: An apparatus for propelling a projectile. A support structure has a propulsion structure pivotally connected thereto and is movable between an armed position and a disarmed position. In impulse delivery arrangement delivers an impulse force that propels the propulsion structure from the armed position to the disarmed position. A channel is configured to cause the projectile to be in biased contact with the propulsion structure upon the propulsion structure being in the armed position. Wherein, upon the impulse delivery arrangement delivering an impulse force propelling the propulsion structure from the armed position, the propulsion structure propels the projectile through and outwardly from the channel. The channel is selectively adjustable in X, Y, and Z planes to selectively guide the projectile in a generally predetermined direction, upon the projectile being propelled from the channel.

Abstract: A gun lock includes engagement structure for engaging the firing mechanism to prevent operation of the firearm. A plurality of rotatable ratchet wheels are provided and a combination disk is engaged to, disengageable from, and rotatable with an associated ratchet wheel. Movable cage structure includes a plurality of keys and each combination disk has an associated key-way, the keys being moveable into the key-ways upon the movement of the ratchet wheels and associated combination disk to an unlocking position. A combination-entering member is associated with each ratchet wheel. A combination-changing member is operable to disengage the combination disks from the ratchet wheels to permit relative movement there between, and thereby relative movement of the key-way of the combination disk relative to the initial position of the associated ratchet wheel to effect changing of the combination of operations of the combination-entering members required to unlock the lock and operate the firearm.

Abstract: An encapsulated propellant charge comprised a sealed combustible container comprised of a consumable material and having a substantially cylindrical shape. The sealed combustible container comprises a top wall, a bottom wall, and a side wall therebetween. The top wall, the bottom wall and the side wall define a chamber; which contains a propellant composition.

Abstract: An improved safety valve for a toy air gun apparatus in which the toy air gun includes a piston and a drive spring mounted in a grip portion of the air gun. A handle extends from the bottom of the grip portion and is manipulated by the user to cock the air gun by compressing the drive spring. When the user pull a trigger the piston is released and surges upward because of the expanding drive spring. A valve element located to the rear of a barrel section of the air gun receives a blast of compressed air in a direction lateral to the longitudinal axis of the valve element and lateral to valve element movement between an open, rearward position and a closed, forward position.

The inner core also includes a core-coupling portion. A plurality of muzzle brakes that each includes a bore having a nominal brake bore diameter. Each muzzle brake includes a brake-coupling portion. The inner core is configured to allow the brake-coupling portions of muzzle brakes having nominal brake bore diameters that are equal to or less than the nominal core bore diameter to couple to the core-coupling portion and to prevent the brake-coupling portions of muzzle brakes having nominal brake diameters that are greater than the nominal core diameter from coupling to the core-coupling portion.

Abstract: An ammunition system for a firearm includes a cartridge for a firearm, a muzzle-loaded cartridge attachment, a magnet, and a magnetic material. The muzzle-loaded cartridge attachment is loaded into the barrel after the cartridge is loaded in the usual manner. The two are adhered together by magnetic attraction. The cartridge has the magnet, the muzzle-loaded cartridge attachment has the magnet, or both have magnets aligned to draw the two together. When one magnet is present between the two, then the other must have a magnetic material to be drawn to the magnet. To enable more than one muzzle-loaded cartridge attachment to be added, a third magnet may be used within the muzzle-loaded cartridge attachment at the end opposite the cartridge to exert a magnetic field extending toward the muzzle, which will hold the next muzzle-loaded cartridge attachment added to the barrel.

Abstract: A backward momentum generating device with coupled spring biased rod mechanism, being disposed through an internal wall settled between a housing and a stop wall of a toy gun, is disclosed. While a piston in the housing produces compressed air, a weight of the backward momentum generating device is pushed along a moving direction of the reciprocating motion of the piston, produces a reaction force, and results in an effect of a backward momentum applied to the housing of the toy gun. The coupled spring biased rod mechanisms include at least one front-section spring biased rod and at least one back-section spring biased rod, wherein the back-section spring biased rod is moveably disposed through a hollow channel formed in the weight of the toy gun.
