A toy launcher including a housing, a storage cartridge configured for placement into an opening of the housing, with projectiles within the storage cartridge held in a first orientation, a cocking slide movably attached to the housing between a first position and a second position, a reciprocating frame operatively connected to the cocking slide, a projectile housing pivotably attached to the toy launcher housing adjacent to the storage cartridge, and a reciprocating feed lever operatively connected to the reciprocating frame. Movement of the cocking slide from the first position to the second position in a first priming step and then back to the first position in a second priming step causes the feed lever to push a projectile from the storage cartridge into the projectile housing, pivots the projectile housing so that the projectile is in a second orientation, and places the projectile in the second orientation at a firing position within the toy launcher.

An automated projectile loader and a method of loading projectile for a vehicle is disclosed. The automated projectile loader includes a carousal projectile unit mounted on a hull of the vehicle. The carousal projectile unit includes a carousal storage adapted to store a plurality of projectiles oriented in a vertical direction. The automated projectile loader includes a bustle projectile unit disposed at a rear end of a turret of the vehicle. The bustle projectile unit includes a bustle storage adapted to store a plurality of projectiles and propellants oriented in a horizontal direction. The automated projectile loader includes an automated arm disposed below the turret and adapted to load the plurality of projectiles from one of the carousal storage and the bustle storage in a barrel orientated in any angle in the turret.
