A tabletop shooting game, comprising: a projectile, a target and a shooter, the shooter including a stand defining a resting surface for receiving the projectile thereonto, an impactor and a biasing element for biasing the impactor towards the resting surface. The shooter is operable for shooting the projectile towards the target by moving the impactor to a loading position away from the resting surface with the projectile resting on the resting surface and subsequently releasing the impactor.

A method of using a ramp for jumping wirelessly controlled vehicles comprising assembling one or more two-dimensional ramp supports into a three-dimensional configuration; coupling a two-dimensional ramp member to the one or more three-dimensional ramp supports to form a ramp with a three-dimensional ramp member; providing the ramp so that it is supported on a surface by the one or more three-dimensional ramp supports.

A hobby projectile may include, but is not limited to: a body portion having an at least partially foam material construction; and a plurality of at least one of magnetic particles or magnetic fibers operably coupled to the body portion. The body portion may include a substantially spherical body portion or a disc-shaped body portion. The magnetizable particles or magnetizable fibers may include ferrite particles and/or ferrite fibers.

A hobby projectile may include, but is not limited to: a ball-type projectile having a substantially spherical shape and constructed at least partially of a foam material; and a magnetic or magnetizable component. At least a portion of the ball-type projectile may be at least partially coated with a magnetic or magnetizable component or may include magnetic or magnetizable particles and/or fibers embedded therein.

An amusement game station enables a user participant to operate complex machinery to direct a primary striker object into contact with at least one secondary target object to promote complex machinery-based, object-to-object contact skills. The amusement game station includes a complex machine component and a secondary object contact station. The complex machine includes a user position station, a user-to-machine interface, and a moveable member. The moveable member is movable relative to the user position station by way of the user-to-machine interface as manually operated by the user participant. The secondary object contact station includes the secondary target object(s). The moveable member is directable toward the secondary target object(s) for contacting the same via the primary striker object as attached to the moveable member. A reset mechanism resets the secondary target objects from moved or fallen positions to original or upright positions.

A bag tossing game target including a first scoring target including a circular base and a side wall around the circular base. The side wall includes a top edge that is level relative to the circular base to define a planar opening. A second scoring target including a cylindrical cup is centrally located on the circular base, wherein the cylindrical cup comprises a top opening. A first scoring zone is over the circular base exterior of the cylindrical cup, and a second scoring zone is within the cylindrical cup.

The present invention provides a gaming device for playing a game of laser tag. The gaming device includes a controller configured to control and coordinate functions between various components thereof. The gaming device includes an aiming unit configured to generate infrared light signals and a receiver configured to detect the generated infrared light signals. The gaming device includes a targeting unit configured to generate a vibration when the receiver in the targeting unit detects infrared light signals. The gaming device further includes one or more lights configured to indicate one or more states of the aiming unit and targeting unit. The controller is configured to engage the aiming unit and targeting unit in a stealth mode in which the one or more lights are switched off.

Systems and methods are provided for deployment location monitoring and threat analysis, comprising producing, at a device within a deployment location, a signal including sensor information recorded using one or more sensors of the device and metadata regarding the device, transmitting, from the device, the signal to a server device running application software, processing, by the application software, the signal to detect a threat within the deployment location, determining, by the application software, an action to perform in response to the detected threat and presenting within a graphical user interface a virtual reality depiction of the deployment location with images generated based at least in part on data received from the device.
