Embodiments of the present disclosure include a moderator having a housing configured to attach to an air gun. The housing includes a first material configured to yield and/or fracture in response to exposure to at least one of a pressure level resulting from discharging a firearm and/or a temperature resulting from discharging a firearm and a number of openings positioned in proximity to an end of the housing. The moderator also includes a number of plugs. Each plug includes a second material configured to yield and/or fracture in response to exposure to at least one of a pressure level resulting from discharging a firearm and/or a temperature resulting from discharging a firearm. Each opening of the number of openings is configured to receive a plug of the number of plugs.

Apparatus and associated methods relate to a gun barrel liner having circumferentially distributed radially yielding inserts. In an illustrative example, the inserts may be distributed along a longitudinal axis of a liner body. For example, each of the inserts may be urged radially inward against the liner by one or more coupling members. Each coupling member may, for example, circumscribe a circumference of the liner. Inserts may, for example, be individually assembled onto a liner. Inserts may, for example, be coupled to spacers such that an insert assembly may be assembled onto a liner as a single unit. For example, the inserts may yield to a radially outward force from a projectile such that an effective diameter of the gun barrel liner substantially conforms to the diameter of the projectile. Various embodiments may advantageously provide interchangeable radially yielding gun barrel liners.

A firearm launcher for holding a projectile includes a launcher body attached to a firearm barrel; and a tension member cooperated with the launcher body. In one embodiment, the tension member is connected with the projectile.

A blaster for shooting projectiles that includes a housing that defines a housing interior, and a variable velocity barrel assembly positioned in the housing interior. The variable velocity barrel assembly includes a barrel that defines a barrel axis and a barrel interior. The barrel includes an exit opening at a distal end thereof. At least a first opening communicates the barrel interior with an exterior of the barrel. The first opening is defined through a side wall of the barrel. A slider member that includes a cylindrical portion that surrounds the barrel is movable axially along the barrel between a maximum velocity position where the cylindrical portion covers the first opening and a minimum velocity position where the slider member does not cover the first opening.

A toy gel ball firearm comprises internal LED's that selectively flash concurrently with firing. The toy may include a foldable shoulder stock, a trigger and trigger guard, an elongated integral barrel, and a receiver that mates with a magazine containing a plurality of hydrated gel balls to be fired. The LED's are disposed near the front of the toy, behind translucent panels. Circuits provided for actuating one or more LED's either sequentially or concurrently may be connected electrically to the OEM triggering mechanism associated with contemporary toy. The illumination system is “off” when the toy gun is on “safety”. With semi-automatic shooting, the LED's are blinked with each shot. LED illumination is constant in the full auto mode. The illumination system can be employed with or retrofitted to a variety of projectile-firing toys powered by internal batteries. Aesthetic lighting effects are maximized with a translucent housing for the toy.

A device for illuminating BBs emanating from an airsoft gun has a lighting element positioned proximate a breech area of the airsoft gun to illuminate the breech area. A switching device is coupled to the lighting element. A power source is coupled to the switching device and the lighting element.
