Abstract
A toy gun (10) is provided having a housing (11), a barrel (12), a trigger (13), and a manual air pump (14). The manual air pump is coupled to both a water pressure tank (15) and an air pressure chamber (30). The water pressure tank is coupled to a quick release water nozzle or valve (24). The air pressure chamber is coupled to a quick release air valve (32). The trigger is coupled to a movable switch (40) which selectively engages either the quick release water nozzle to release a stream of water with actuation of the trigger or the quick release air valve to release a burst of compressed air with actuation of the trigger.
