A toy projectile launcher having a projectile container, a cocking slide, and a housing is disclosed. The projectile container contains projectile holders that are adapted to hold a projectile, such as a foam dart. The cocking slide can be moved forward and backward. The housing houses a launch barrel and an air piston assembly. When the cocking slide is moved backward the air piston barrel moves backward, and a projectile holder is moved into a firing position. The foam dart is held in place by a resilient stopper. When the cocking slide is moved forward an air nozzle engages a surface of the resilient stopper and advances through the projectile holder, pushing the foam dart into the launch barrel. An airtight seal is formed between the launch barrel and air piston assembly.

An automatically cocking air gun includes a cocking mechanism including a compression tube, a compression piston, and a spring. An actuator assembly is coupled to the compression tube to selectively move the compression tube between a firing position and a cocking position. The actuator assembly includes a lead screw and a lead screw nut driving a carriage to move the compression tube.

Break barrel airguns are provided with a loading system that uses the cocking action of the break barrel type airgun to charge an energy storing device. A rotary style magazine is provided that enables multi-shot capability for the airgun. The magazin is held by a magazine holder and engages with engagement components that reduce backlash, prevent backwards rotation of the magazine, and ensure alignment of the projectile holders in the magazine with the opening of the barrel.

A toy projectile launcher having a housing, a projectile container, a cocking slide, an air piston assembly, a barrel interface section, and a detachable launch barrel is disclosed. The projectile container is adapted to hold projectiles, such as foam darts. The cocking slide can be moved for-ward and backward. When the cocking slide is moved backward the air piston barrel moves backward, and a projectile is moved in front of the air piston assembly. When the cocking slide is moved forward, the projectile is pushed into the barrel interface section by an air nozzle disposed on the front of the air piston assembly. A first airtight seal is formed between the air piston assembly and the rear of the foam dart, and a second airtight seal is formed between the barrel interface section and the detachable launch barrel.

A toy launcher with a housing and a toy projectile holder thereon. A lever arm extends outside the housing and is connected for pivoting movement relative thereto. A piston and cylinder arrangement is located in the housing, with the piston being resiliently biased toward a first end of the cylinder and being moveable toward a second end thereof to a cocked position by the lever arm being pivoted from a first position to a second position. The cylinder is configured to deliver compressed air to the toy projectile holder. A releasable piston catch holds the piston in the cocked position, and is releasable by the trigger or movement of the lever arm itself such that the piston is driven by the biasing element toward the first end of the cylinder to deliver compressed air to the toy projectile holder for launching. The toy projectile can be a foam dart.
