  • Patent number: 4860718
    Abstract: A wooden stock has opposite elongated barrel and butt portions and an inclined central or joining section to resemble a standard carbine. The tip of the barrel end of the stock has a rearward-extending blind bore into which an end portion of a tubular elastic projectile is fitted. The projectile is bent abruptly upward and rearward along the top of the barrel to an upright trigger pin over which the rear end of the projectile is fitted. Trigger mechanism is effective to retract the pin so as to release the rear end of the projectile, thereby causing it to fly forward and separate from the tip of the barrel.
