A variable velocity pneumatic launcher including at least one chamber filled with a projectile. The launcher includes a ballast chamber filled with pressurized air selectively released to propel a projectile from the launcher's barrel. The launcher includes a firing chamber filled with ambient air and a ballast chamber filled with pressurized air. A piston rod extends between the chambers and attaches to a firing piston and a ballast piston located inside the firing chamber and ballast chamber, respectively. The rod is connected to an adjustable velocity valve which controls the amount of longitudinal movement of the rod. When the trigger is activated, a portion of the pressurized air from the ballast chamber is delivered to the firing chamber. Because the surface area of the firing piston is greater than the ballast piston's surface area, the force exerted on the firing piston is sufficient to shift or displace the ballast piston and allow pressurize air to be released into the upper chamber containing the projectile.

An electrically powered airsoft gun includes a rechargeable battery; an indicator; an air canister; a solenoid valve for opening or closing the air canister; an electronic circuit board electrically connected to the rechargeable battery and including a microswitch and a processor electrically connected to the indicator and the solenoid vale respectively; and a trigger for activating or deactivating the microswitch. Various firing rates or intervals can be set by pulling the trigger a number of times.

A projectile accelerating control system that includes a projectile accelerator and/or associated projectile equipment configured to provisionally lower the velocity and/or energy level, where said provisionally lower level is below the set upper velocity and/or energy limit. One aspect or feature of said accelerating system includes a means that indicates the amount of reduction from the upper velocity and/or energy limit. The accelerating control system includes adjustment mechanisms and/or methods that allow the impact energy of a projectile to be reduced from the upper impact limit associated with the upper velocity and/or energy limit. The accelerating control system includes adjustment mechanisms and/or methods that include a controller configured to allow the selective selection of a velocity and/or energy levels that fall below a upper velocity setting and/or energy level. Where the said upper velocity setting and/or energy level is a setting or level that falls below the maximum velocity and/or the maximum energy level of the projectile accelerator.

A magazine gas heating structure includes a magazine body, an electricity supply device arranged in the magazine body, a heating assembly arranged in the magazine body and electrically connected with the electricity supply device, a liquid channel defined in the magazine body, and a turbulence thermal conduction element arranged in the magazine body and connected to the heating assembly. The turbulence thermal conduction element is arranged at an end of the liquid channel. As such, a user may set the magazine body into a toy gun to allow the electricity supply device to supply electrical energy to the heating assembly, so that the heating assembly heats the turbulence thermal conduction element. Pressurized fluid is conducted to pass through the turbulence thermal conduction element and efficiently absorb thermal energy from the turbulence thermal conduction element so that the pressurized fluid is converted into gas for firing the toy gun.

A pneumatic assembly for a projectile launching system including a body defining a continuous bore is provided. A nozzle is positioned within the bore adjacent the forward end of the body and is moveable between a rearward position wherein the nozzle facilitates passage of a projectile through a projectile port and a forward position wherein the nozzle blocks the projectile port to prevent passage of a projectile therethrough.

A switching mechanism that controls a drive circuit of an electric motor in order to select any one of a single shooting mode, and a successive shooting mode. The switching mechanism includes a selector unit which is provided in order to select between the single shooting mode and the successive shooting mode, a switch which closes the drive circuit in response to an operation of a trigger, and a cut-off member which turns off the switch when the single shooting mode is selected. An engagement location for the movable portion and the cut-off member in the piston cylinder mechanism is set in a front portion in a direction of the reciprocating operation of the movable portion, and a range of selecting a time taken until the front portion engages with the cut-off member after the movable portion starts to retract can be lengthened.
