Abstract
A combat game weapon system includes a pneumatic launcher and an elastic projectile. The pneumatic launcher includes a barrel. The barrel includes a distal end and a bore with an inside diameter. The elastic projectile is configured for being expelled from the distal end of the barrel. The elastic projectile includes a cavity configured for expanding when the cavity receives a propellant from the pneumatic launcher and thereby for causing the elastic projectile to sealingly engage the inside diameter.
Claims18
A combat game weapon system, comprising:
- a pneumatic launcher including a barrel, said barrel including a distal end and a bore with an inside diameter;
- and
- an elastic projectile configured for being expelled from said distal end of said barrel, said elastic projectile including a cavity configured for expanding when said cavity receives a propellant from said pneumatic launcher and thereby for causing said elastic projectile to sealingly engage said inside diameter.
A combat game projectile for a combat game weapon system including a pneumatic launcher including a barrel having a distal end and a bore with an inside diameter, said combat game projectile comprising:
- an elastic projectile configured for being expelled from the distal end of the barrel of the pneumatic launcher, said elastic projectile including a cavity configured for expanding when said cavity receives a propellant from the pneumatic launcher and thereby for causing said elastic projectile to sealingly engage the inside diameter.
A method of operating a combat game weapon system, said method comprising the steps of:
- providing a pneumatic launcher including a barrel, said barrel including a distal end and a bore with an inside diameter;
- loading said pneumatic launcher with an elastic projectile including a cavity;
- receiving in said cavity a propellant from said pneumatic launcher;
- expanding said cavity, when said cavity receives said propellant from said pneumatic launcher, and thereby causing said elastic projectile to sealingly engage said inside diameter;
- and
- expelling said elastic projectile from said distal end of said barrel.
