A toy gun (1) capable of illuminating soft projectile (70) being ejected therefrom, comprising a gun body (10), a grip assembly (30) is fixedly attached to the gun body, and a trigger assembly (50) mounted on the grip assembly. The gun body (10) has a power source (100), a motor (200), a launch assembly (300) with a launch tube (400), a light source (500) and a light reflecting unit. When the trigger assembly (50) of the toy gun (1) is actuated, the power source (100) activates the motor (200) and switches on the light source (500). The activated motor (200) causes the launch assembly (300) to discharge a soft projectile (70) in the launch tube (400) and the light emitted from the light source (500) is reflected by the light reflecting unit onto the soft projectile (70) once it is discharged , thereby illuminating the soft projectile (70).

An explosive device composed of an auxiliary flux compression generator operating to produce a high intensity magnetic field to seed a primary flux compression generator The auxiliary flux compression generator has a first section with a magnetic field supplied by a cylindrical permanent magnet array, the first section is composed of a helical winding having a prescribed pattern configured to convert explosive energy into magnetic energy that will be used as seed magnetic field for the primary flux compression generator.

A hobby projectile may include, but is not limited to: a ball-type projectile having a substantially spherical shape and constructed at least partially of a foam material; and a magnetic or magnetizable component. At least a portion of the ball-type projectile may be at least partially coated with a magnetic or magnetizable component or may include magnetic or magnetizable particles and/or fibers embedded therein.

A strategic pattern building game apparatus having a target grid and a rotatable loading tray movable between an elevated position above and aligned with the target grid during play and a folded position adjoining the target grid for transport and/or storage. The game apparatus includes a plurality of playing discs which are placed in channels in the target grid and in the loading tray, and projectile launchers used by players to knock out playing discs until one player achieves four of his/her discs in a horizontal, vertical or diagonal line. The discs are deformable and received at the target grid for being ejected during game play when impacted by the projectile.

A dart holder (10) comprising: first positioning means (1), holding means (3) for holding optionally at least the tip and/or part of the barrel of a dart in a settled position in the first positioning means (1) such that the barrel of said dart is accessible for being grabbed by a user's hand, a first landing area (4) arranged on the first positioning means (1) in respect to the holding means (3) such that said first landing area (4) provides a reference to at least part of the hand for grabbing the barrel at a target position,
wherein the holding means (3) is formed by a shaft (30) extending from the first landing area (4) at least partially through the first positioning means (1) up to a shaft end (31) facing away from the first landing area (4), wherein the shaft (30) is provided with a limitation reference means (8) to define a limitation for the tip of the barrel when it is inserted in the shaft (30).

A radar-absorbing material projectile system including a projectile with an outer layer of radar-absorbing material (RAM). A carrier or armature is disposed around the projectile, protecting the layer of RAM during the firing sequence. In some embodiments the carrier is a discarding carrier which falls away after firing, rendering the projectile low-observable with regard to radar detection due to the layer of RAM.

A magnetic dartboard game system comprising a plurality of magnetic darts and a dartboard is described. In some implementations, the magnetic dartboard system comprises a dartboard having a backing portion, a metal layer portion, and a decorative cover portion. In some implementations, the magnetic dartboard system also comprises a magnetic dart having: a shaft body having a first end and a second end, said shaft body having a geometric shape with one or more tapers; a threaded cap, wherein the threaded cap is configured to thread onto the first end of the shaft body; a magnet having a first end and a second flat end, wherein the first end of the magnet rests on the second end of the threaded cap; and a balance tail fin with one or more vanes, wherein the balance tail fin is configured to attach to the shaft body of the magnetic dart.

A toy dart includes a deformable cap that safely impacts a target. The cap includes two layers of openings that provide spaces that allow the cap to deform. The lower layer, having two openings, is supported by exterior posts and an interior wall between the two openings. The upper layer, having two openings, is supported by exterior posts and an interior wall that is laterally offset from the interior wall of the lower layer. The upper and lower layers are separated vertically by a substantially flat divider. 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.

A suction dart target game system includes a throwing member with a central protrusion, and first and second suction cups; and a target marker with a target suction cup; such that the target marker is attached to a mounting structure, such that a user can throw the throwing member at the target marker from a distance, such that the throwing member rotates in flight, such that either the first suction cup or the second suction cup attaches to a surface area of the mounting structure adjacent to the target marker, if a throw is successful. Also disclosed is a suction dart target game method, including positioning a target marker, throwing a throwing member, and measuring a distance.
