Abstract:
1. A dart gun comprising: a plurality of darts removably connected about a circumferential area of a cylindrical barrel; a spring-biased gear assembly including an engagement member that is rotatably aligned with the circumferential area of the cylindrical barrel, the spring-biased gear assembly further including first and second rotary gears having offset teeth; a trigger bar operable between a first position in abutting contact with the teeth of the first rotary gear and a second position in abutting contact with the teeth of the second rotary gear; and a trigger operably connected to the trigger bar, the trigger including a forward position that locates the trigger bar in the first position and a rearward position that locates the trigger bar in the second position, and wherein operation of the trigger causes the spring-biased gear assembly to intermittently rotate, thereby causing the engagement member to disconnect one of the plurality of darts from the circumferential area of the cylindrical barrel.
