Description

  The present invention relates to a toy air gun that launches a phosphorescent bullet that is used as a non-killing threat to fight off a nocturnal small beast or for a simulated battle game at night. The present invention relates to a magazine in a toy air gun provided with means for giving.

  Conventionally, when using a toy air gun at night or in the dark, it is impossible to confirm the trajectory and landing point of a normal bullet. The so-called phosphorescent bullet is used, and when this luminous bullet is fired from the muzzle of a toy air gun, the luminous bullet is irradiated with light to be luminous, and the luminous bullet is emitted from the luminous bullet. The flight trajectory and landing point are confirmed by light.

As described above, as a means for providing luminous properties by storing the phosphorescent bullet immediately before firing the phosphorescent bullet from the muzzle, for example, as described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, a barrel is attached to the barrel portion. A strobe light emitter that projects light toward a phosphorescent bullet passing through the inside, and a sensor that detects the bullet passing mechanism closer to the bullet firing mechanism than the strobe light emitter, and the sensor is used when the phosphorescent bullet is fired. Thus, the luminous bullet passing through the barrel is detected, and the strobe light emitter is flashed by the electric signal, and the luminous phosphor is momentarily accumulated by the flash.

  However, the strobe light emitter that stores phosphorescent bullets by flashing is not only expensive, but also has to be placed in the barrel with the sensor, charging unit, battery, etc., so the entire device becomes complicated and expensive. In addition, high accuracy is required to operate the strobe light emitter in synchronism with the firing of bullets fired at high speed from the muzzle, and the flash light from the strobe light emitter leaks from the muzzle. When used for a simulated battle game or the like, there is a problem that the opponent can know the position. In addition, there is a problem that an existing toy air gun for shooting BB bullets that does not have phosphorescent properties cannot be used for shooting phosphorescent bullets that emit light at night.

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and the object of the present invention is to install a magazine in a toy air gun without adopting an expensive and large strobe light emitter. It is to provide a toy air gun magazine capable of storing a plurality of phosphorescent bullets loaded in the magazine.
