Projectile launchers have an elongated cylindrical body defining a projectile bore having a bore axis, the body having an open forward exit end, the body having a gas inlet facility at an opposed rear end, a movable latch element connected to the body and having a latch portion movable between a retention position in which the latch portion protrudes into the bore and a release position, and the latch element being biased to the retention position such that a projectile in the bore rearward of the latch is retained by the latch portion except until a gas pressure above a selected amount builds up behind the projectile to overcome the biasing of the latch and launch the projectile. The latch element may be clear of the bore when in the release position.

A cartridge loading mechanism of a toy revolver includes a magazine, a cylinder, a cartridge drum and a driving element. When loading bullets, the cartridge loading mechanism may be removed to load the bullets. When firing a bullet, the cylinder may be rotated to provide a high simulation. When a bullet is fired, the cylinder and the cartridge drum are rotated together, and the magazine disposed in the cylinder and an inner magazine tube remain still and will not rotate with the cylinder, so that the inner magazine tube is aligned precisely with the barrel to improve the shooting accuracy.

When loading bullets, the cartridge loading mechanism may be removed to load the bullets. When firing a bullet, the cylinder may be rotated to provide a high simulation. When a bullet is fired, the cylinder and the cartridge drum are rotated altogether, and the magazine disposed in the cylinder and an inner magazine tube remain still and will not rotate with the cylinder, and the inner magazine tube is aligned precisely with the barrel to improve the shooting accuracy.

A toy gun automatic shooting device includes a laser detection device arranged at one side of a toy gun body and includes a shooting module and an electronic trigger module. A reaction device is arranged on the toy gun body and includes a shot storage module, a control substrate, and an electrical power supply unit that supplies electrical power to a control substrate of the reaction device. The control substrate receives a detection signal from the laser detection device and controls the electronic trigger module to drive the shooting module that supplies shots so as to allow the toy gun body to carry out a shooting operation. Automatic shooting made after the laser detection device detects a target object is fulfilled to enhance the fun of playing a survival game, and further, detection being made with the laser detection device fulfills higher accuracy and longer distance of detection.
