Breechless projectile alignment module and launch methods for toy blaster apparatus

A method for launching projectile rounds, comprising the steps of:

• providing an alignment module and a receptacle opening located along an upper portion of the alignment module;
• allowing a plurality of the projectile rounds to be received into the alignment module from the receptacle opening wherein the alignment module is capable of receiving rounds through said receptacle opening from a receptacle capable of holding multiple projectile rounds;
• aligning at least one barrel seal with a passage at the alignment module;
• extending a channel into the alignment module capable of fluid communication with a compressed air source;
• and
• positioning a pre-firing area defined to include a junction inside the alignment module extending between the receptacle opening, the channel, and the at least one barrel seal thereof, the pre-firing area enabled to align at least one of the received projectiles at the at least one barrel seal.
