Abstract:
1. A projectile launcher, comprising: a) a rotatable gun assembly of pressurized-gas driven guns, wherein each gun comprises a breech opening, said gun assembly comprising a mounting arm; b) a rotatable loader assembly mounted on said mounting arm and having an interior volume sufficient for storing a plurality of projectiles, said volume bounded by a wall having an inner surface and an outer surface; c) at least one radially oriented loader tube formed in said wall and extending therethrough between an inner port and an outer port; d) a set of timing gears linked between said loader assembly and said gun assembly, said gears aligning the outer ports and breech openings when said assemblies are in linked rotation; e) a gap transfer space sufficiently large for transfer therethrough of a projectile from an outer port to a cognate breech opening; f) a motor with a shaft operatively linked to said set of timing gears; and g) a source of pressurized-gas operatively connected to said guns; whereby activation of said motor rotates the loader, urging projectiles through said loader tubes and through transfer gaps into the breeches of said rotating gun assembly for launching from said pressured gas-driven guns.
