Abstract:
A toy gun for launching foam projectiles, comprising:a body;a pair of barrels slidably mounted to the body and being adapted for movement along a longitudinal path between a rearward position and a forward position, each of the barrels including a longitudinal rack, a plunger assembly, and a forward portion defining a launch chamber adapted to receive a foam projectile;a moveable handle operatively engaging one of the barrels;an actuating pinion mounted to the body and engaging each of the barrel racks, the actuating pinion for moving the barrels in opposite directions between their respective forward and rearward positions in response to movement of the handle;so that each plunger assembly pressurizes its adjacent launch chamber in response to rearward movement of the barrel, thereby permitting a projectile to be launched from the launch chamber of each barrel as that barrel moves toward its respective rearward position.
