Hopper stock projectiles magazine apparatus and methods for toy blaster system

A toy launching apparatus, comprising:

• a firing mechanism housing for a projectile launching element;
• a hopper stock projectiles magazine receptacle for holding multiple projectiles removably interfacing distally along an upper portion of the firing mechanism housing;
• a projectile launching barrel for discharging plural projectile rounds;
• a pre-firing area allowing the plurality of the projectile rounds to be received for discharge with the projectile launching element through the projectile launching barrel, said hopper stock projectiles magazine receptacle for holding multiple projectiles located distally along an upper portion of the pre-firing area;
• a channel in mechanical communication with the firing mechanism housing to the projectile launching element receiving projectiles from the hopper stock projectiles magazine receptacle, the firing mechanism housing extending a separator junction between the channel and the projectile launching element separating at least one held projectile from the hopper stock projectiles magazine receptacle for delivery to a breech defined with the projectile launching element;
• an air compression element at the projectile launching element including a cylinder and a cylinder driving coupling;
• a piston slidably received at the cylinder of the air compression element, the piston having a piston driving coupling;
• a cylinder cam pathway track at the firing mechanism housing;
• a piston cam pathway track at the firing mechanism housing;
• a trigger assembly including a conveyor;
• a piston cam follower linkage having a tracking end at the piston cam pathway track, a piston trigger end pivoted at the conveyor, and a piston follower coupling for engaging the piston driving coupling;
• and
• a cylinder cam follower linkage having a tracking end at the cylinder cam pathway track, a cylinder trigger end pivoted at the conveyor, and a cylinder follower coupling for engaging the cylinder driving coupling.

A toy launching method, comprising the steps of:

• providing a firing mechanism housing for a projectile launching element;
• positioning a projectile launching barrel for discharging plural projectile rounds;
• arranging a pre-firing area allowing the plurality of the projectile rounds to be received for discharge with the projectile launching element through the projectile launching barrel, said projectile launching element defined to include a breech and a separator channel in mechanical communication with the pre-firing area enabled to align at least one received projectile at the projectile launching barrel with the breech of the projectile launching element;
• coupling an air compression element at the projectile launching element with a cylinder and a cylinder driving coupling;
• slidably receiving a piston at the cylinder of the air compression element, the piston having a piston driving coupling;
• defining a cylinder cam pathway track at the firing mechanism housing;
• defining a piston cam pathway track at the firing mechanism housing;
• moving a conveyor with a trigger assembly with a piston cam follower linkage having a tracking end at the piston cam pathway track, a piston trigger end at the conveyor, and a piston follower coupling for engaging the piston driving coupling with a cylinder cam follower linkage having a tracking end at the cylinder cam pathway track, a cylinder trigger end at the conveyor, and a cylinder follower coupling for engaging the cylinder driving coupling;
• and
• coupling a hopper stock projectiles magazine receptacle for holding multiple projectiles located distally along an upper portion of the pre-firing area.
