Abstract: A pellet-firing toy gatling gun includes a rotatable multiple barrel assembly with a number of barrels arranged in a substantially circular array that is rotated such that each barrel passes a predetermined firing position one time during each rotation of the barrel assembly. A firing mechanism positions a spherical pellet at the firing position and propels the pellet through a barrel in response to a cocking and firing actuation sequence. An actuating mechanism acts between the rotatable barrel assembly and the firing mechanism in response to rotation of the barrel assembly by effecting the cocking and firing actuation sequence in synchronism with rotation of the barrel assembly.

Abstract: A rubber band powered gun includes a barrel assembly within which a projectile traveller slides between a cocked position and a release position. A singulator also slides in the barrel assembly and feeds a single projectile from a magazine to the traveller each time the traveller moves from the release to the cocked position. A slide, movably mounted on the barrel assembly, engages and moves the traveller to the cocked position. At the cocked position, the slide disengages the traveller and is movable toward the release position. A rubber band is connected between the traveller and the slide for exerting an elastic force directed toward the release position on the traveller at the cocked position in response to movement of the slide toward the release position. A trigger is provided for retaining the traveller at the cocked position while the slide moves toward the release position. A mechanism retains the slide at the release position.
