Abstract:
A toy gun adapted to launch a projectile comprising:a launch tube having a breach adapted to receive a projectile; a hopper in communication with said breach, said hopper having an outer housing having an annular outer wall and a floor, a central hub, an annular inner housing mounted concentrically within said outer wall, and a plurality of divider walls extending between said central hub and said inner housing thereby defining a plurality of projectile cells, each said projectile cell having a bottom opening therein, said outer housing having an opening therein sized and shaped to allow the passage of projectiles therethrough; an indexer coupled to said central hub, whereby the inner housing prevents contact of the projectile with the outer housing outer wall to prevent accidental binding of the projectile between the divider wall and the outer wall during indexing.
