The present invention generally relates to an improved foam dart that operates with improved accuracy. The shaft of the foam dart is shaped with indentions that direct airflow around the dart to improve its accuracy. The dart tip is also connected through a rigid neck portion that further improves the accuracy of the dart during use. An alternative embodiment allows the user to place a pop cap within the dart tip that will explode to cause a loud bang when the dart contacts a hard object at the end of its flight. Side vents direct exhaust gases away from the target to improve safety.

An ammunition bucket may be provided for preparation of ammunition for toy blasters having greater ease of use with less mess. The bucket may be collapsible having sides that collapse in an accordion style, and the bucket may include a carrying handle. The lid may be sealed and resistant to splashing and leakage. A lower recessed port area may be provided at the lowest portion of the bucket body. This port may be a three-way drain and strain port. The lower recessed port area may include a dispensing valve with a primary control notch and a flap that provides rate control for the valve. The dispensing valve also may include a secondary control notch that limits an opening of the dispensing valve to prevent ammunition from leaving the bucket.

A deformable hollow dart head for a toy dart includes a dart cap and a connector, the dart cap has a cap top and a cylindrical cap wall extending from a periphery of the cap top, the cap wall is provided with air vents, the connector has a circular base connecting with the cap wall, thereby sealing the dart cap to form a deformable cavity, the material of the dart cap is softer than that of the circular base. At the moment when the dart toy hits a target, the dart cap contacts and impacts the target. The target exerts a reactive force on the dart toy, and the deformable cavity provides deformation space for the dart cap, thereby causing the dart cap to deform and increasing the contact area with the target.

An unmanned aerial vehicle capture apparatus adaptable to a slingshot with a sling, including a launch handle with handle with a flat surface and attachment wings with apertures, a launch container having nodules fitting into wing apertures, such that sling of slingshot is sandwiched between launch container and launch handle, and an entanglement apparatus including a plurality of solid objects connected to a line.

A tactile reference attachment for releasable attachment to a sports equipment handle to provides a user with tactile biofeedback. includes a tactile reference feature that extends longitudinally along an exterior body surface and is formed with dimensions specifically tailored to harness the user's natural attributes of sensibility, proprioception, and neuromuscular memory to improve a user's accuracy. The tactile reference attachment includes a flexible primary substrate having a plurality of attachment perimeter edges, an exterior surface, an interior surface having an adhesive, a thickness of no more than 4 mm, and at least a first tactile reference indentation having a plurality of perimeter edges, an indentation width of at least 2.0 millimeters and no greater than 5.0 millimeters, an indentation depth of at least 0.5 millimeters and no greater than the indentation width, and an indentation length that is at least five times the indentation width.

The present invention relates to a launching apparatus and, more particularly, to a launching apparatus using a revolving magnetic body, wherein the apparatus is safe and is capable of being driven with low power consumption, the apparatus including: an acceleration pipe formed by spirally winding a hollow pipe made of a non-magnetic material; a stator wound with a plurality of coils to encompass an outside of the acceleration pipe, and forming a magnetic field by being magnetized when an electric current is applied thereto; and a magnetic body launched outside after revolving along a circumference of the acceleration pipe due to a force exerted thereto by the magnetic field.
