Foam dart gun

A dart gun trigger assembly comprising:

• a spring-biased gear assembly including an engagement member, and further including a first rotary gear having teeth and a second rotary gear having teeth, wherein the teeth of the first rotary gear are offset from the teeth of the second rotary gear;
• a trigger bar operable between a first position in abutting contact with the teeth of the first rotary gear and a second position in abutting contact with the teeth of the second rotary gear;
• and
• a trigger operably connected to the trigger bar, the trigger including a forward position that locates the trigger bar in the first position and a rearward position that locates the trigger bar in the second position, and wherein operation of the trigger causes the spring-biased gear assembly to intermittently rotate.

A dart gun comprising:

• an elastic band disposed about a circumferential area of a forward end of a cylindrical barrel;
• a dart removably connected to the elastic band and removably connected to a rearward end of the cylindrical barrel;
• a spring-biased gear assembly including a lever rotatably aligned with the circumferential area of the cylindrical barrel;
• and
• a trigger operably connected to a trigger bar, the trigger operating between a forward position that locates the trigger bar in rotational interference with a first portion of the spring-biased gear assembly and a rearward position that locates the trigger bar in rotational interference with a second portion of the spring-biased gear assembly, and wherein movement of the trigger between the forward position and the rearward position causes the spring-biased gear assembly to intermittently rotate, thereby causing the lever to disconnect the dart from the circumferential area of the cylindrical barrel and the elastic band to propel the dart a predetermined distance forward.
