Bladder water gun with shaped stream discharge orifices

A toy gun for discharging a shaped stream of liquid under pressure, comprising:

• a housing;
• an expandable bladder located in the housing, the expandable bladder being adapted to provide a generally constant pressure discharge of liquid contained therein;
• a trigger connected to a release valve for regulating discharge of liquid from the expandable bladder to a discharge outlet;
• and
• a turret mounted rotatable nozzle assembly having a plurality of nozzles connected to the housing, each nozzle having a differently shaped nozzle orifice arrangement and being selectively rotatable to a position in fluid communication with the discharge outlet, wherein actuation of the trigger regulates the release of pressurized liquid through the discharge outlet and the selected one of the plurality of nozzles and wherein the turret mounted rotatable nozzle assembly comprises a turret support member connected to the housing and a turret having a front surface from which the nozzles extend, and a rear surface, the turret being rotatably connected to the turret support member, the turret support member including an orifice through which the liquid is discharged, a seal to minimize leakage between the turret support member and the rear surface of the turret, and a retainer element extending from the turret support member, the retainer element having a rear surface, the turret including a plurality of tabs, each tab being aligned with one of the nozzles and bearing against the rear surface of the retainer element to urge the seal into engagement with the rear surface of the turret, thereby minimizing leakage wherein at least two of the plurality of nozzles including different shaped, non-circular stream nozzle orifice arrangements and wherein actuation of the trigger results in the liquid being discharged in a shaped stream having a generally constant form defined by the shape of the selected nozzle orifice arrangement.
