  • Patent number: 5283970
    Abstract: Toy guns are disclosed which are capable of simultaneously generating light and sound effects, having rotating a barrel assembly, creating vibrations in the body of the toy gun and operating a rapid indexing and cap firing mechanism. The rotating barrels, the cap indexing and firing mechanism and the vibration mechanism are all driven from a motor-driven gear and shaft assembly positioned within the toy gun. A dual action trigger is used to energize the light and sound effects when the trigger is activated to make a first electrical contact. Upon further activation, the trigger makes a second electrical contact which powers the motor and the gear and shaft assembly to drive the rotating barrel assembly, the cap indexing and firing mechanism and the vibration mechanism, as the light and sound effects continue.
