  • Patent number: 5595165
    Abstract: A simulated firearm for deploying an elastic loop member herein defined by a barrel portion, a stock or handle portion, body or mid section, and a cocking apparatus. The Operator manually works the cocking apparatus which automatically resets a hammer or sear and a trigger located within the body. At the end of stroke of the cocking apparatus, reset of the firearm is indicated by a soft but crisp reverberation of sound similar to a "click!" as the trigger and hammer interlock, and the trigger makes contact with a stop-pin. An elastic loop member is then stretched between the frontal nose of the barrel, and the hammer located at the rear. By manual operation of the trigger, the elastic loop member is automatically deployed. Simultaneous with the deployment of the elastic loop member, a high pitched reverberation of sound similar to a "snap!" is heard as the hammer or sear makes hard and abrupt contact with the stop-pin.
