A rotary ammunition magazine for a rifle has a follower that is spring biased and rotates about an axis to move cartridges for feeding to the rifle's chamber. The follower has a surface portion which engages the last cartridge in the stack. The surface portion has one or more characteristics including a transverse orientation angle, a longitudinal orientation angle and an arcuate shape which determine the direction of the force vector and the lengthwise load distribution on the cartridge.

A cartridge loading mechanism of a toy revolver includes a magazine, a cylinder, a cartridge drum and a driving element. When loading bullets, the cartridge loading mechanism may be removed to load the bullets. When firing a bullet, the cylinder may be rotated to provide a high simulation. When a bullet is fired, the cylinder and the cartridge drum are rotated together, and the magazine disposed in the cylinder and an inner magazine tube remain still and will not rotate with the cylinder, so that the inner magazine tube is aligned precisely with the barrel to improve the shooting accuracy.

When loading bullets, the cartridge loading mechanism may be removed to load the bullets. When firing a bullet, the cylinder may be rotated to provide a high simulation. When a bullet is fired, the cylinder and the cartridge drum are rotated altogether, and the magazine disposed in the cylinder and an inner magazine tube remain still and will not rotate with the cylinder, and the inner magazine tube is aligned precisely with the barrel to improve the shooting accuracy.

A toy gun automatic shooting device includes a laser detection device arranged at one side of a toy gun body and includes a shooting module and an electronic trigger module. A reaction device is arranged on the toy gun body and includes a shot storage module, a control substrate, and an electrical power supply unit that supplies electrical power to a control substrate of the reaction device. The control substrate receives a detection signal from the laser detection device and controls the electronic trigger module to drive the shooting module that supplies shots so as to allow the toy gun body to carry out a shooting operation. Automatic shooting made after the laser detection device detects a target object is fulfilled to enhance the fun of playing a survival game, and further, detection being made with the laser detection device fulfills higher accuracy and longer distance of detection.

An adjustable insert for a firearm magazine can include: a contact surface to contact a cartridge shoulder; and an engagement interface positioned on a mating surface, the engagement interface being engageable with a portion of the firearm magazine, wherein the mating surface is positioned perpendicular to the contact surface; and wherein the engagement interface includes a predetermined adjustment resolution for incrementally adjusting the adjustable insert forward and backward along a plane parallel to a longitudinal axis of the firearm magazine to accommodate multiple sizes of cartridges.

A projectile launcher includes a receiver and a dual cylindrical-shaped magazine (DCM) wherein the receiver contains a propelling mechanism and an ammunition receiving port. The propelling mechanism is used for launching a projectile. The ammunition receiving port, which may be situated at bottom of the receiver, is able to receive projectiles. It should be noted that the projectile launcher can also be a gun or firearm. The DCM includes two canisters and an ammunition supply port which is situated between the two canisters. The DCM carries multiple projectiles in such a way that a first portion of projectiles moves toward the receiver against gravity for supplying projectiles from the ammunition supply port to the ammunition receiving port while a second portion of projectiles move in a direction parallel to the receiver for replenishing projectiles from the second portion of projectiles to the first portion of projectiles.
