A cartridge for a non-lethal self-protection system is received by a launch platform and has a barrel, a compressed gas vessel movable from a retained position to a released position, a retainer selectively retaining the compressed gas vessel in the retained position, a projectile in front of the compressed gas vessel containing an irritant, a diffuser to spread out gas behind the projectile, a cannula with a sharp tip to pierce the compressed gas vessel in the released position, and an annular seal circumscribing the projectile and extending between the projectile and the housing to retain the projectile in the housing until the compressed gas is released from the compressed gas vessel.

A projectile launching apparatus includes a linear motion converter driven by a motor, a piston coupled to the linear motion converter and reciprocally movable within a cylinder, a gas spring and a breech assembly. The piston, when actuated by the linear motion converter, may energize the gas spring, and after the gas spring is fully energized, the linear motion converter may release the piston. When the piston is released, the piston may compress a gas within the cylinder, which compressed gas may be communicated to a barrel of the breech assembly. The compressed gas may expand in the barrel of the breech assembly for launching a projectile that has been chambered in the barrel, with a high velocity.

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 cutting-power-off detection structure of a toy gun has a main structure that includes a gun body, a muzzle defined at one side of the gun body, a feeding channel defined in the gun body, a chamber defined in the gun body and in communication with the muzzle and the feeding channel, a circuit device arranged in the gun body, at least one wireless detection device arranged in the gun body and electrically connected with the circuit device, and a shot forwarding device arranged in the chamber and electrically connected with the circuit device. The feeding channel is connectable to a magazine and the wireless detection device is operable to detect a shot fed from the magazine. When the magazine runs out of shots and the wireless detection device detects no shot, a signal is transmitted to the circuit device to cut off electricity supplied to the shot forwarding device.
