Patent ID: 8123623

Claim:
A simulated gun capable of generating a reactionary force tendency to move a muzzle of a barrel toward a side opposite to a trigger side with respect to the barrel following a virtual shooting in a shooting game, comprising: a gun main body; an actuator provided in a specified portion of the main body for generating a reactionary force tendency to move the muzzle; a drive force generator arranged outside the main body at a game machine having a target for said virtual shooting; and a transmitter connecting the drive force generator and the actuator for transmitting force generated in the drive force generator to the actuator; wherein the transmitter includes a slender core having one end connected to the actuator, and a tubular outer member having a channel defined to enclose only the slender core and allow the slender core to move freely therein along a length of the channel, the tubular member having a leading end placed in the main body immovably in a longitudinal direction thereof and having an opposite end fixed to a game machine with which the simulated gun is used to play said shooting game, wherein the drive force generator imparts a drive force to the slender core to move an other end of the slender core a predetermined distance in a longitudinal direction in to the tubular outer member toward the game machine, said slender core freely moving longitudinally within the outer tube member as said other end moves; and wherein the actuator includes a hitting portion movable between a separating position from and a contacting position with an inner wall of the main body, the one end of the slender core is connected to the hitting portion and the leading end of the tubular outer member is attached to gun main body, and the hitting portion receives the drive force to thereby move from the separating position to the contacting position with respect to the inner wall surface of the main body.
