A magazine configured to hold a plurality of projectiles is disclosed. The magazine can be used with a toy projectile launcher. A toy projectile launcher configured to launch a plurality of projectiles therefrom is also disclosed. The toy projectile launcher having: a housing; and a magazine movably secured to a housing of the toy projectile launcher, the magazine including a plurality of chambers, each of the chambers being configured to hold one of the plurality of the projectiles therein, the magazine having a surface that is engageable by the toy projectile launcher to align and to move the magazine relative to the housing.

This invention relates to mechanisms and components of a less lethal device, including a magazine configured to house a plurality of projectiles in a “staggered” configuration, a barrel displacement mechanism, a projectile release mechanism and load indicator, a projectile detent, and a loading mechanism. The magazine comprises a hollow body with a first closed end and a second end with an opening through which projectiles are received into or from the body; a first follower which is displaceable from the first end in a direction of the second end for a first distance, the first follower being biased in the direction of the second end; and a second follower which is displaceable from the first end in the direction of the second end for a second distance, the second follower being biased in the direction of the second end and wherein the first distance exceeds the second distance.

An example simulated weapon includes a delayed trigger and a pellet ejector. The delayed trigger includes a chamber and a piston slidable between armed and triggering positions. A spring biases the piston towards the triggering position. A locking member releasably locks the piston in the armed position. Release of the piston by the locking member causes the spring to move the piston from the armed position to the triggering position. The pellet ejector is coupled to the delay trigger to be triggered by the delay trigger in the triggering position. The pellet ejector includes a pressure chamber to receive a pressurized fluid and a pellet chamber to receive pellets. A valve is disposed between the pressure chamber and the pellet chamber communicates pressure from the pressure chamber to the pellet chamber. A barrel that extends through the pressure chamber is connected to the pellet chamber to eject the pellets.

An airgun for use with a projectile supply is described. A cam surface of the airgun and a bolt positioner of the airgun are configured so that rotation from a firing position to a reloading position causes a cam surface of the airgun to drive the bolt positioner through a passageway of the projectile supply to drive a projectile in the passageway to a position where pressurized gas in the firing location will thrust the projectile through the bore.

A toy projectile launcher for launching projectiles, e.g, toy foam darts, from a detachable hopper. An agitating member inside the hopper enables the orderly descent of the projectiles within the hopper. A hopper cover has a collapsible ceiling with nested members and a ceiling plate to maintain the projectiles toward the bottom of the hopper. First and second catches coupled to the ceiling plate respectively engage openings in hopper walls to prevent the ceiling plate from collapsing into the cover when the hopper cover is closed. Where there are multiple vertically-spaced-apart openings in the hopper walls, the first and second catches may disengage from respective first openings, and then engage lower, second openings in the hopper walls, as the number of projectiles in the hopper drops and the ceiling plate descends in the hopper. A rotating gear advances projectiles from the firing chamber to flywheels for launch.
