Abstract: Launcher apparatus and methods for a toy projectile blaster with a breechless projectile alignment module having a receptacle or hopper for multiple received projectile rounds, a passage at the alignment module including a barrel seal to align received projectiles for launching through a blaster barrel, and a channel into the alignment module for a compressed air source. A pre-firing area defines a junction inside the alignment module extending between the receptacle, the channel, and the barrel seal. An actuator at the housing is linked with the compressed air source for causing compressed air to expel through the channel into the alignment module and outwardly launch the received projectile rounds.

Abstract: Method of trimming weld flash from a weld joint formed between a first component and a second component. The method provides a rotary shear tool having a rotary blade and a second blade. The second blade may be a fixed blade. The method further includes shearing the weld flash from the weld joint by passing the weld flash between the rotary blade and second blade of the rotary shear tool. Also provides a rotary shear tool for trimming weld flash from a weld joint formed between a first component and a second component. The rotary shear tool includes: a rotary blade; a second blade; and a mounting portion for mounting the rotary shear tool on a robotic arm.
