Toy Projectile Having Impact Head with Multiple Flexible Prongs

Abstract

A toy projectile that is intended to be thrown at a bristle target board. The toy projectile has a head section and a tail section. The head section of the toy projectile has a plurality of prongs that extend from a common circular base. The prongs have the same length, wherein the length of the prongs is generally equal to the diameter of the circular base. The prongs and the base are unistucturally molded together as a single piece. The common circular base of the head section is connected to the tail section in a manner that enables the common circular base and the prongs to rotate together relative to the tail section. The ability to rotate enables the prongs on the projectile to better penetrate a bristle target board and not bounce away, even when impact occurs at an angle.
