A toy projectile launcher having a projectile drum, a cocking slide, and a housing is disclosed. The projectile drum 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, the launch barrel is moved forward away from a first projectile holder in the plurality to facilitate loading of a projectile into a holder. When the cocking slide is moved forward an air nozzle forms an airtight seal between the air piston barrel and the projectile holder, while the launch barrel is moved backward to form an airtight seal between the projectile holder and the launch barrel.

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.

A toy dart gun is provided including a gun shell, a trigger assembly, and a compression assembly. The trigger assembly includes a swing arm coupled to the gun shell and movable between a safe position and a fire position, and a swing arm pusher extending from the gun shell and having an inclined surface. The compression assembly includes a compression chamber positioned within the gun shell and having a barrel opening and an opposite holder opening, and a plunger slidably insertable through the holder opening and movable between a retracted position and an extended position. As the swing arm moves toward the fire position, the swing arm engages the plunger and pulls the plunger toward the extended position. When the swing arm is in the fire position, the swing arm pusher deflects the swing arm from engagement with the plunger and the plunger is biased toward the retracted position.

A toy projectile launcher pistol having a handle with an internal projectile storage area; at least one pair of inwardly biased resilient flaps; an air piston assembly having a barrel and a plunger element; a sliding handle coupled to the barrel, the sliding handle and barrel being movable between a forward position and a backward position; a compression spring that biases the plunger element against a rear wall in the toy projectile launcher pistol; and a latching assembly that couples the plunger element to a trigger assembly when the sliding handle is moved to the backward position, and the trigger assembly, upon toggling, releasing the coupling of the latching assembly between the plunger element and the trigger assembly.

A single-shot/repeating switching device is provided for a toy gun that includes an outer casing, a bolt seat, a trigger link, and a trigger section. The single-shot/repeating switching device includes: an adjustment hole formed between the outer casing and the bolt seat, an adjustment seat having a toothed rail, a pinion rod rotatably arranged on the toothed rail, an operating portion arranged on the pinion rod and extended to outside of the adjustment hole, a coupling portion formed on the adjustment seat and opposite to the toothed rail, and a movable arrestor joined by a joining part to the coupling portion. A user may push, from the outside the operating portion to cause corresponding motions of the pinion rod and the toothed rail so as to drive the movable arrestor by means of the adjustment seat to selectively block a movement of the trigger link for efficient single-shot/repeating switchability.
