A toy dart includes a deformable cap that safely impacts a target. The cap includes two layers of substantially parallel hollow passages that provide spaces that allow the cap to deform. The lower layer, having two hollow passages, is supported by exterior posts and an interior wall between the two hollow passages. The upper layer, having three hollow passages, is supported by exterior posts and interior walls that are laterally offset from the interior wall of the lower layer. The upper and lower layers are separated vertically by a substantially flat divider. Due to the difference in the number of hollow passages and interior walls in each layer, the upper layer is more rigid than the lower layer such that the lower layer of the cap deforms more than the upper layer of the cap upon initial impact with the target.

An anti-personnel autonomous vehicle (APAV) system has a fuselage formed by a directional fragmentation weapon (DFW). An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) assembly is engaged to the DFW, the UAV assembly having a plurality of lift units positioned to provide balanced lift on the DFW. A control module integrated in the UAV assembly has a wireless transmitter/receiver communicating with a remote controller.

Apparatus includes one or more fillable containers (35) in fluid communication with a primary channel (32), which is in fluid communication with a fluid entrance opening (31) which is attachable to a fluid source. The fillable containers (35) are made of a material that ruptures upon propelling the fillable containers (35) against a target. Each of the fillable containers (35) includes a one-way valve (33) that allows fluid to flow through the primary channel (32) into a corresponding one of the containers (35) and to seal each of the containers (35) with the fluid therein.

A toy dart having an elongate dart body of a foam material in a substantially cylindrical shape extending from a head end to a tail end in a first, longitudinal direction, an outer surface of the substantially cylindrical shape having a first ridge proximate the head end; a second ridge proximate the tail end; and one or more recessed areas disposed between the first ridge and the second ridge, where the elongate dart body has a first outer diameter at the first ridge and the second ridge that is larger than a second outer diameter at the one or more recessed areas; and a deformable dart cap affixed to the head end of the elongate dart body.

A projectile and stabilizer therefor are provided. The sliding stabilizer is used instead of fixed or glued tail feathers, vanes or other fletching as a means for stabilizing projectile flight. The invention improves current projectile technology with reduced assembly labor cost, the elimination of bow clearance issues, improved accuracy with the consistent production of the sliding stabilizer, easy replacement of the stabilizer in the field, and improved projectile storage. A sliding stabilizer is designed to slide along the shaft of a projectile and comprises a circumferentially extending wing and a plurality of fins. In use, the stabilizer is positioned at the front of the projectile prior to launch, and the projectile slides quickly through the stabilizer until secured at a stop position at or near the trailing end of the projectile. An annular arrow fletch and arrow stabilizer are also provided. The annular arrow fletch may be used for; stabilizing arrow flight, providing better clearance and functionality then conventional fixed glued tail feathers. A stabilizer may be used with light emitting diode arrow nocks. The stabilizer may improve arrow shaft stabilization technology with reduced assembly labor cost, the elimination of facial and or face mask interference issues providing more clearance, improved accuracy, repeatable production with the consistent injection mold production of the annular arrow fletch, easy replacement of the annular arrow fletch in the field, and improved arrow storage. An annular arrow fletch may incorporate a metallic contact point, which will work with all light emitting nocks. A design of an annular arrow fletch may be affixed to an arrow by an arrow nock and may comprise an annular wing, a central elongated cylindrical cylinder with a cap and a plurality of fins with micro-groves and a metal contact. In use, the annular arrow fletch is affixed at the aft end of the arrow by an arrow nock prior to launch.

A projectile launcher comprises a motor driven flywheel having a rotational axis and a roughened circumferential edge surface, and a flywheel housing having a passageway therethrough. The passageway comprises an entry opening at a first end that is configured to receive at least one disc projectile, and a release opening at a second end.

A dart may comprisein order from the front thereofa point, a barrel, a shaft, and a flight. The flight may comprise a plurality of fins. The fins may comprise mesh-like reinforcing ribs that protrude from surfaces thereof. The fins may further comprise, at peripheries thereof, fin rims formed so as to be of increased thickness. Reinforcing ribs may be formed over the approximate entireties of the fins. The shaft may comprise an insertion portion at the back end thereof. The flight may comprise a central axial hole having an opening at the front end thereof. The shaft may be removably installable with respect to the flight by virtue of a cap-like arrangement by which the insertion portion is inserted within, and is coupled and secured to, the central axial hole. The central axial hole may be formed from the front end of the flight to the back end thereof.

There is provided a dart shaft comprising: a first shaft portion formed of metal, the first shaft portion having a first end for connection to a dart barrel and a second end comprising a first threaded portion; and a second shaft portion, the second shaft portion having a first end for connection to a flight and a second end comprising a second threaded portion; wherein the first threaded portion is externally threaded and the second threaded portion is internally threaded, and wherein the first and second threaded portions are configured to engage with each other to releasably connect the first shaft portion and the second shaft portion together.

A toy gun capable of illuminating soft projectile being ejected therefrom, comprising a gun body, a grip assembly is fixedly attached to the gun body, and a trigger assembly mounted on the grip assembly. The gun body has a power source, a motor, a launch assembly with a launch tube, and a light reflecting unit. When the trigger assembly of the toy gun is actuated, the power source activates the motor and switches on the light source. The activated motor causes the launch assembly to discharge a soft projectile in the launch tube and the light emitted from the light source is reflected by the light reflecting unit onto the soft projectile once it is discharged, thereby illuminating the soft projectile.
