Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a pseudo gun in a shooting game machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a pseudo gun used in a shooting game machine,
Conventionally, a type in which a bullet actually flies and a type in which a trajectory of a bullet is displayed on the screen by a line are known.

By the way, the latter type lacks a sense of realism, and in order to improve the taste, it is preferable to make the former bullet actually fly.

[0004]

However, the pseudo-gun in which the bullet actually flies has the following drawbacks.
That is, the configuration in which the bullets are loaded one by one into the pseudo-gun is not suitable for continuously hitting the target. In addition, if the bullets are automatically supplied to the pseudo-gun continuously,
The above bullets are supplied, which may cause clogging, which is not preferable.

Therefore, in the case where the bullets are continuously and automatically supplied to the pseudo-gun, it is possible to load the bullets into the barrel one by one, but the structure becomes large. For example, if it becomes possible to load bullets, the bullets will enter the barrel continuously, and a partition etc. will be required to secure a space for one bullet in the barrel, but at the time of firing The partition becomes an obstacle, and this time a separate means for moving the partition back and forth is required. Alternatively, when one of the bullets is held outside the barrel and the held bullet is moved into the barrel, the holding means for holding the bullet is larger than the bullet, and the holding means is moved. It requires a space necessary for the bullet, and it is necessary to open a part of the barrel to insert the bullet, but in that case, the opening for inserting the bullet becomes an obstacle when firing,
A separate means for closing and opening the ammo insertion opening is also required.

In the case of automatically supplying the bullets to the pseudo-gun continuously in this way, there is a drawback that the structure becomes large in size so that the bullets can be loaded into the barrel one by one.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems of the prior art. Even if the structure is simplified, it is possible to continuously and automatically supply bullets to the pseudo-gun, and one bullet It is an object of the present invention to provide a pseudo gun for a shooting game machine that can be loaded into one barrel.

Therefore, the third barrel member 12C and the elastic pressing member 14 can slide as the trigger 11 moves. The tip 12c of the second barrel member 12B described above
The length inserted into the inside of the base end 12b of the first barrel member 12A is set to be longer than the slide length.

The first barrel member 12A and the second barrel member 12B are made of transparent or translucent resin, and the photo sensor 17 is provided on the base end 12b side of the first barrel member 12A. A flash 18 is arranged closer to the muzzle 12a than 17 is. The photo sensor 17 is
A bullet 20 passing through the barrel 12 is detected, and the flash 18 emits light based on the detection result and irradiates the bullet 20. Bullet 20
Is a relatively hard material containing a phosphorescent agent, for example, an alkaline earth sulfide, and shines for a certain period of time when irradiated with light from the flash 18. As the flash 18, for example, a xenon lamp is used. An LED 19 is attached to the front side of the flash 18 on the lower side near the muzzle so as to emit light in the direction in which the muzzle 12a faces. This LE
The light from D19 is detected by the safety sensor 23 provided inside the housing 2. The safety sensor 23 is LE when the muzzle 12a is directed to the screen member 30 side, for example.
The light from D19 is detected, and when the muzzle 12a is directed to the outside of the opening 2c of the housing 2, the light is not detected.

The solenoid 22 is attached to the protruding portion 11d at the rear end of the trigger 11 with its lower part directed upward and backward. The details are shown in FIG. If the safety sensor 23 does not detect the light from the LED 19,

1 cannot be drawn. On the other hand, the safety sensor 23 is LE
When the light from D19 is detected, the solenoid 2
2 retreats downward as shown by the solid line, and its upper end 22a
Is separated from the step portion 24a, and the trigger 11 can be pulled. In other words, the safety sensor 23 is used by the dummy gun 10 only when the muzzle is actually aimed at the screen member 30.
Since 0 can be fired and the bullet 20 is not fired in other cases, safety can be achieved. Reference numeral 15 in FIG. 10 is a spring that presses the trigger 11 in the blank direction.

Further, the LED 19 emits light by pulse oscillation shown in FIG. 11 and has two kinds of frequencies f1 and f2, and the safety sensor 23 has these two kinds of frequencies f1 and f2.
It also has the function of detecting 2. When the safety sensor 23 does not detect these two types of frequencies f1 and f2, the solenoid 22 advances upward so that the trigger 11 cannot be pulled. As a result, even if the light other than the LED 19 enters the safety sensor 23, the safety sensor 23 has two frequencies f1.
Since the solenoid 22 cannot detect the trigger 11 and the trigger 11 is not detected, double safety can be ensured.

Inside the grip portion 13, a bullet firing air pipe 13a, a reaction unit driving air pipe 13b branched from the middle of the air pipe 13a, and a bullet supply air pipe 13c are provided. .

It was formed in.

As shown in FIG. 14B, the intermediate sheet 32 and the back sheet 33 have an electrode 32b and an electrode 33, respectively.
and both electrodes 32b,
Spacers 32c and 33c separate the space 33b. The surface sheet 31 is attached to the opposite side of the electrode 32b in the attached intermediate sheet 32 with the gel-like surface layer 31a side being the outside, whereby the screen member 30 is formed.

FIG. 16 shows that the screen member 30 has two bullets.
It is explanatory drawing of the mechanism which can detect the position where 0 hits. The insulating sheet 32a is omitted in FIG.

In FIG. 16, the position where the bullet 20 hits is indicated by A. The coordinate position of this position A is, for example, the electrode 32.
b and the electrode 33b are applied with a potential in advance,
When the screen member 30 hits the screen member 30, at least the surface sheet 31, the intermediate sheet 32, and the electrode 32b indicated by B at the position A are bent, and a part of the bent electrode 32b is an electrode indicated by C. It is measured by detecting that the electrode 33b electrically contacts with the electrode 33b, a current flows only through the contacted electrode 33b, and a current flows through the electrode 32b indicated by B and the electrode 33b indicated by C. . The measured value is given to the control system described later.

The surface layer 31a of the topsheet 31 is, for example, white, and serves as a screen on which a projection image is projected from the projector 35 provided on the floor surface 2f of the upper portion 2a as shown in FIG. The projected image includes not only an image for selecting a game content but also a selected landscape image for shooting, a target mark, and the like. The image for selecting the game content is, as shown in FIG.

The images for shooting are classified into beginner courses, intermediate courses, and advanced courses according to the level of the game player, and each course can be selected from a plurality of types by operating the operation unit 5. ing.

For example, as a beginner course, there is a still image in which target marks to be hit with bullets appear at 1 or 2 or more at the same time. Intermediate courses include dynamic images in which the target of the doll moves forward, backward, left, and right. Advanced courses include moving the target faster and changing the viewpoint of the displayed image.

FIG. 17 is a block diagram showing the control system.

The control system 80 includes a game control section 81.
A target display control unit 82, a sound effect control unit 83, a coordinate position detection unit 84, and a game performance determination unit 85.

The game control section 81 has a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, etc., and controls the entire game machine. The game control section 81 grasps the progress of the game and the operation section 5
Input the instruction signal from, and manage the time. The dynamic display control unit 82 projects the projection image selected by the operation unit 5 from the projector 35 and controls the display content of the projector 35 and the like according to an instruction from the game control unit 81. The sound effect controller 83 is a game controller 81.
From the instruction from, a predetermined sound is generated as the game progresses.
As shown in FIG. 1, the sound is output from the front speaker 9A and the rear speaker 9B provided in the upper portion 2a of the housing 2. The speaker 9A outputs a pseudo firing sound accompanying the firing of the pseudo gun 10, and the speaker 9B produces a pseudo effect corresponding to the object (image) displayed on the screen when the bullet 20 hits the object. Output sound. Both output timings are shifted by about 0.1 seconds.

The coordinate position detecting section 84 includes the screen member 3
It has a function of detecting the coordinate positions of the electrodes 32b and 33b which are in contact with each other by hitting the bullet 20 at 0. The game result judging unit 85 compares the position of the target (or target mark) of the projected image on the screen member 30 with the coordinate position detected by the coordinate position detecting unit 84,
It is determined whether or not they match each other, and how many bullets hit the target, or a predetermined score for the target hit by the bullet is totaled to obtain the game result. The game score is
After being given to the game control unit 81, the projector 35
Is displayed on the screen member 30. The position of the target mark on the screen member 30 and the coordinate position corresponding to the target mark detected by the coordinate position detection unit 84 are adjusted so as to match both positions.

Next, the operation contents of the shooting game machine according to the first embodiment having such a configuration will be described.

At the start of the game, the compressor 71
The pressure of the air supplied at is set to a predetermined value. Accordingly, the bullet 20 can be supplied to the pseudo gun 10. Further, each electrically operated part is also in a predetermined standby state.

In this state, when a predetermined coin is inserted into the coin insertion portion 6, the control system 80 starts the control for starting the game. Along with this, the target display control unit 82
The projector 35 projects an image for selection onto the screen member 30, and the game player operates the operation unit 5 to select a course while watching it, and selects a game image included in the selected course.

After that, the game is substantially started, and the selected game image is projected from the projector 35 onto the screen member 30. The bullet 20 is fired from the pseudo-gun 10 toward the target provided on the game image on the screen member 30. At this time, the pseudo gun 10 has the following actions.

First, the light emitted from the LED 19 of the pseudo gun 10 is detected by the safety sensor 23, and the two kinds of frequencies f1 and f2 which are the light emitting states of the safety sensor 2 are detected.
Unless detected in 3, the upper end 22 of the solenoid 22
a remains in the stepped portion 24a of the lock member 24, the trigger 11 is not pulled, and safety is ensured. On the other hand, the safety sensor 23 detects the light emitted from the LED 19 of the pseudo gun 10, and
When two types of frequencies f1 and f2 are detected, the solenoid 2
The upper end 22a of the second member 2 is disengaged from the stepped portion 24a of the lock member 24, and the trigger 11 is ready to be pulled. In addition,
The solenoid 22 moves in and out in the vertical direction, but the solenoid 22 moves in and out along the barrel so that the trigger is locked when the solenoid 22 advances and the trigger can be pulled when the robot 22 retracts. You may In this case, it is preferable that the distance between the advance and retreat of the solenoid 22 be longer than the stroke of the trigger.

Next, there is an effect that the bullets 20 can be surely fired one by one. FIG. 18 is a diagram for explaining this.

FIG. 18A shows a state in which the trigger is not pulled as described above, FIG. 18B is a state in which the trigger is slightly pulled, FIG. 18C is a state in which the trigger is further pulled, and FIG. Is in the state of being pulled out.

In the state of FIG. 18 (a) where the trigger is not pulled, as described above, the rear end of the elastic partition portion 15 fully opens the air pipe 13c, while the rear end of the elastic pressing member 14 is inside the barrel 12. The bullet 20 supplied to is pressed downward.

When the trigger 11 is pulled, FIG. 18 (b)
As shown in (c) and FIG.
The bullet partitioning portion 15 enters between the bullet 20 most of which has been fed into the barrel 12 and the bullet 20 to be fed next, against the force of pushing the bullet downward. At this time, as shown in FIG. 10, the inclined surface 12m provided at the base end 12f of the third barrel member 12C pushes up the bullet 20, which is mostly contained in the barrel 12, upward. Here, the bullet separating position can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the inclined surface 12m. For example, when the inclined surface 12m is made longer, the bullet separating position can be made lower, and conversely, when it is made shorter, it can be made upper.

Then, as shown in FIG. 18 (d), when the trigger 11 is pulled out, the ammunition partitioning portion 15 completely removes the space between the ammunition 20 supplied into the barrel 12 and the ammunition 20 supplied next. On the other hand, the elastic pressing member 14 releases the pressed state of the bullet 20 supplied into the barrel 12. Almost at the same time, the solenoid valve 77 switches as the trigger 11 is pulled out, and the air sent through the air pipe 13a for projecting bullets causes
A bullet 20 is fired. Therefore, in this way, the bullets 20 can be fired one by one from the pseudo gun 10.
After the trigger 11 is pulled out, the trigger 1 is pulled by the coil spring 15 that presses and urges the trigger 11 in the direction opposite to the pulling direction.
1 returns to its original position. Further, the solenoid valve 77 switches to the original state after a certain period of time. When the muzzle 12a is tilted downward, the safety sensor 23 does not capture the light from the LED 19, so that the solenoid 22 is locked and the trigger 11 does not operate. Is pressed, the bullet 20 is prevented from spilling from the muzzle 12a. Also, the coil spring 15
May be provided on the front side of the trigger 11 so as to pull and urge the trigger 11 in the opposite direction to the pulling direction.

Further, the bullet 20 contains a luminous agent, and the bullet 20
Since the light from the flash 18 illuminates, the shining bullet 20 is fired from the pseudo-gun 10. Therefore, when the bullet 20 passes through the dim light of the housing 2, the game player visually recognizes the trajectory of the bullet 20. After that, the light emitting state gradually decreases, and after that, the luminous state of the bullet 20 disappears and the bullet 20 becomes dark. Further, the air passing through the reaction unit driving air pipe 13b branched from the bullet firing air pipe 13a is sent to the reaction unit 16, and the weight 1 of the reaction unit 16
The reaction due to the collision of 6d is transmitted to the game player.

When the bullet 20 from the dummy gun 10 is fired toward the screen member 30, the coordinate position detecting section 84 detects the coordinate position, and the game result judging section 85 detects the projected image on the screen member 30. The position of the target (or target mark) is compared with the coordinate position detected by the coordinate position detection unit 84, it is determined whether or not the two match, and how many bullets hit the target, Alternatively, a predetermined score is calculated for the target hit by the bullet. This is performed each time the bullet 20 is fired toward the screen member 30, and the game result determination unit 85 sums up the points to obtain the game result.

The bullet 20 hitting the screen member 30 is
It adheres to the gel-like surface layer 31a of the topsheet 31 that constitutes the screen member 30. At this time, the surface sheet 31 is deformed where the bullet 20 hits, and the electrode 32b and the electrode 33 are deformed.
contact with b. Thereby, the coordinate position detection unit 84 detects the coordinate position. In addition, the gel-like surface layer 31
The bullet 20 attached to a is returned from the bent state of the surface sheet 31 to the original flat state, so that the gel-like surface layer 31.
The contact area between the a and the bullet 20 decreases, and finally the bullet 20 falls from the gel-like surface layer 31a. At the time of this drop, the bullet 20 is in the original non-luminous state. For example, the time during which the bullet 20 accumulates light and shines is about 1 second, and the time until the bullet 20 is fired from the pseudo gun 10 and reaches the screen member 30 is from the pseudo gun 10 to the screen member 30. When the distance is 5 m, it takes about 0.1 seconds, and the time required for the bullet 20 to drop after being attached to the screen member 30 is about 3 to 10 seconds.

The dropped bullets 20 are collected in the bullet collecting section 44 of the bullet storing means 40 and temporarily stored in the bullet storing section 45.
Then, when the next coin is inserted into the coin insertion portion 6,
The game control section 81 operates the elevating means 44e to raise the weir section 44c and drop the stored bullets 20 into the drop hole 44d.
It is dropped inside the box 45a. The bullet 20 may be dropped into the box 45a at any time, before or after the game, or during the game.

The electric motor 49 has started to operate with the rise of the dam portion 44c, and the rotating disk 48 is rotated by the electric motor 49, so that the bullets entered between the rotating disk 48 and the bullet separating plate 50. 20 enters the supply pipe 46 one by one from the through holes 45d of the rotating disk 48. Therefore, the air supply pipe 47
Bullets 20 are supplied to the pseudo gun 10 one by one from the bullet storage section 45 via the supply pipe 46 by the air from the pseudo gun 10.
Fired from. When the bullet 20 is supplied to the pseudo gun 10 through the supply pipe 46, the elevating means 44e lowers the dam portion 44c to close the drop hole 44d, and the drop hole 4
Make sure that air does not leak from 4d.

In the pseudo gun 10 provided in the shooting game machine 1 according to the first embodiment having the above-described structure, as described above, the bullets 20 passing through the inside of the supply pipe 46 into the barrel 12 by the air. The bullet 20 is supplied, and the bullet 20 is elastically pressed.
Due to this, at least most of the bullets 20 are elastically pressed into the barrel 12 toward the bullet supply side. In this state, one bullet is not completely inside the barrel 12, so the next bullet 20 is It does not enter the barrel 12. When the bullet partitioning portion 12i that can slide along the barrel 12 is slid so as to partition the bullets 20, most of the bullets 20 that have entered the barrel 12 are moved to the next bullet 20 by the sliding of the bullet partitioning portion 12i. At the same time when they are separated, they are loaded into the barrel 12. Therefore, even if the structure is simplified, the bullets 20 can be continuously and automatically supplied to the pseudo gun 10, and the bullets 20 can be loaded into the barrel 12 one by one.
As described above, when the bullet separating position is adjusted by adjusting the length of the inclined surface 12m, the barrel 12 before the bullet separating
Regarding the position of the bullet 20 on the side, the bullets 20 can be separated even if most of the bullets 20 are located outside the barrel 12 or even if the entire bullet 20 is located outside the barrel 12.

Further, as the trigger 11 is pulled, the ammunition partition 12i slides to separate the ammunition 20 and at least most of the ammunition 20 is completely loaded into the barrel 12. At this time, since the elastic pressing member 14 completely releases the pressed state of the bullet 20 loaded in the barrel 12, the elastic pressing member 14 is used to eject the bullet 20 when the bullet is fired.
The pressed state of is released, and the bullet 20 can be fired without resistance. Further, the bullet 20 can be fired in synchronization with the movement of the trigger 11.

Further, the bullet 20 stored in the bullet storage portion 45 is supplied by air through the supply pipe 46 and the pipe 13c to the barrel 1
2 can be automatically supplied. Further, when the trigger 11 is pulled, the bullet 20 in the barrel 12 is fired as described above, but at that time, air is supplied to the reaction unit 16 and the weight 16d moves, and after a certain period of time, the air is released to the outside. Then, the weight 16d returns to its original state due to the elastic force and collides. Due to this collision, the reaction is transmitted to the hand of the game player holding the pseudo gun 10, and the state of actually shooting a real gun can be tasted and there is a sense of reality.

Further, unless the muzzle 12a is aimed at the target 30 or its vicinity, the bullet 20 is not permitted to be fired and the bullet 20 can be prevented from being fired carelessly, thus ensuring safety. . In addition, even if external light is incident on the safety sensor 23, the external light and the light from the pseudo gun 10 are discriminated and judged. It is possible to secure the safety of. The pulsed pulse of light emitted by the LED 19 does not need to use two types of frequencies as long as it has a frequency different from the frequency of the external light incident on the safety sensor 23.

Further, since the bullet 20 is made of a material containing a phosphorescent agent and is configured to irradiate the bullet 20 with light, if the inside of the housing 2 is kept in a relatively dark state, the shining bullet 20 moves. You can see the trajectory of the movement, and the taste is greatly improved. Further, since the bullet 20 is formed in a spherical shape, there is no problem in the directionality of the bullet 20 when the bullet 20 is continuously supplied to the pipe in the pseudo gun 10, and the bullet partitioning portion 12i prevents the bullet from separating. Easy to do.

In the first embodiment described above,
The bullet firing air pipe 13a and the reaction unit driving air pipe 13b are branched, and a solenoid valve is disposed at a position before the branch, and both pipes 13a and 13b are switched by switching the solenoid valve.
Although the air having the same pressure is supplied and stopped in the above, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, both pipes 13
a, 13b at the positions after branching, respectively, the pipes 13a, 13
Alternatively, a solenoid valve may be separately provided for b, the switching operation of each solenoid valve may be made independent, and the air supply / stop timing may be different. In addition, both pipes 13a,
It is also possible to completely separate 13b and change the air pressure.

In the first embodiment described above,
Although the rear end portion of the third barrel member 12C constituting the barrel is used as an ammunition partition, the third barrel member 12C is not slightly shortened, and at the rear end portion thereof is a bullet partition plate separate from the third barrel member 12C. May be attached. In the case of such a configuration, a separate elastic partition plate may be connected to the trigger, and may be slid along with the pulling operation of the trigger. in addition,
The elastic pressing member 14 may also be connected to a separate elastic partition plate or a trigger. It should be noted that a solenoid or the like that moves into and out of the ammunition partition position without being connected to the trigger 11 is provided, and when the position where the trigger 11 is pulled reaches a predetermined position, a signal is issued by a separately provided position sensor to activate the solenoid or the like. You may make it the structure which advances and divides an ammunition. (2nd Embodiment) FIG. 21: is a front view which shows the principal part of the pseudo gun which concerns on 2nd Embodiment.

The moving member 112 is provided with a bullet holding hole 113, which is a circular through hole into which only one bullet 20 is inserted, and a concave portion 114 is formed on the fixed member 111 side. The bullet holding hole 113 has an axial center in the vertical direction and is open on both sides. The concave portion 114 includes the facing end surface 112 a of the moving member 112 on the fixed member 111 side and the upper and lower surfaces 112.
b and 112c are open. An insertion groove 114a for inserting the stopper 115a of the tension spring 115 is formed in the inner part of the recess 114, and a pin hole 114b for inserting the pin 116 is formed in a direction orthogonal to the insertion groove 114a. It is formed so as to traverse the insertion groove 114a and reach both side surfaces 112d and 112e of the moving member 112.

On the other hand, the movable member 1 in the fixed member 111.
An insertion groove 111d for inserting the other stop portion 115b of the tension spring 115 into the facing end surface 111c on the 12th side.
Is formed, and a pin hole 111e for inserting the pin 117 crosses the insertion groove 111d in a direction orthogonal to the insertion groove 111d, and both side surfaces 1 of the fixing member 111 are formed.
It is formed so as to reach 11f and 111g.

The fixed member 111 and the moving member 112 are connected via the tension spring 115. Specifically, the tension spring 115 is inserted into the recess 114, and the pin 116 as a locking tool is inserted into the pin hole 114b in a state where the pin hole 114b and the stopper 115a are aligned with each other.

As shown in FIG. 21, the concave portion 114 is arranged so as to be positioned above the bullet separating / laterally feeding passage 104, and the length L of the concave portion 114 is such that the moving member 112 is fixed to the fixed member 111. It is set so that air can be constantly supplied from the state of being in contact with the state of being separated from the state of being in contact therewith. Before air is supplied from the bullet separation / lateral feed passage 104 at a predetermined timing, the moving member 112 is brought into contact with the fixed member 111 by the tension spring 115,
At this time, the bullet holding hole 113 is located at the second position above the bullet feeding passage 103 and receives one bullet 20 fed to the bullet feeding passage 103. On the other hand, bullet separation / transverse passage 10
When air is supplied from 4 to the recess 114 at a predetermined timing, the moving member 112 slides in the long hole 102 and moves away from the fixed member 111, and the end surface 11 of the moving member 112.

The cross-sectional shape of 01b is smaller than the diameter of the bullet 20, so that the bullet 20 is held in the first position without dropping.

Further, a recess 112g is formed on the lower surface 112c of the moving member 112 in a range from the center of the bullet holding hole 113 to a predetermined length on the side of the opposing end surface 112a. The recess 112g prevents the upper portion of the next bullet 20 received in the bullet holding hole 113 from being caught or damaged when the moving member 112 slides in the elongated hole 102 and moves away from the fixed member 111. It is provided to do so. The depth dimension of the concave portion 112g is set to a dimension that can achieve its purpose, and the length dimension of the concave portion 112g in the sliding direction is set to the concave portion 112g while the bullet holding hole 113 is displaced between the first position and the second position. Both ends (steps) are set so as not to be located above the bullet supply passage 103.

Two second parts are provided between the inner part 100a and the outer surface of the gun.
Through holes 109a and 109b are concentrically formed. The outer second through-hole 109a has a large diameter portion and a small diameter portion, and a padding 109c is detachably attached to the large diameter portion.

In the second embodiment, in order to operate the bullet moving means 110 in the order described below, FIG.
The configuration of the air supply system shown in is slightly changed.

Next, the bullet firing operation of the pseudogun according to the second embodiment having such a configuration will be described.

First, the state of supplying air to the bullet supply passage 103 is maintained, and the bullet 20 is supplied to the bullet supply passage 103. In this state, the bullet holding hole 113
Is located at the second position, and one bullet 20 is held in the bullet holding hole 113.

Next, when the trigger (11) is started to be pulled, the micro switch (21) is actuated to supply air to the recess 114 via the reaction unit driving air passage 105 and the bullet separating / lateral feeding passage 104. . The pressure of the air is set to a value such that the moving member 112 can separate from the fixed member 111 against the pulling force of the pulling spring 115. By this air supply, the moving member 112, which is already holding one bullet 20 in the bullet holding hole 113, moves into the long hole 102.
When the inner surface slides away from the fixed member 111 and the end surface 112f of the moving member 112 comes into contact with the back of the short hole 102a, the bullet holding hole 113 is located at the first position inside the bullet firing passage 101. When the moving member 112 slides, the lower surface 112c of the moving member 112 moves toward the bullet feeding passage 10
It functions as a bullet partition that covers the upper side of 3. Also, the recess 1
The presence of 12 g can prevent the lower surface 112 c of the moving member 112 from catching or scratching the upper portion of the next bullet 20.

Next, when the trigger (11) is completed, air is supplied to the bullet firing passage 101 for a predetermined time from that timing, and the bullet 20 is fired.

Then, when the air supply to the bullet firing passage 101 is completed, after a predetermined time, air is supplied to the recess 114 via the reaction unit driving air passage 105 and the bullet separating / laterally feeding passage 104. Stop. As a result, the moving member 112 is pulled by the pulling force of the pulling spring 115.
Comes into contact with the fixing member 111, and the bullet holding hole 11
3 returns to the second position and receives the next bullet 20.

Therefore, in the case of using the pseudo-gun according to the second embodiment, the bullets 20 supplied to the second position by the bullet supply passage 103 are provided when the bullet holding hole 113 is located at the second position. Only one bullet receiving hole 113 receives the bullet holding hole 113, and when the moving member 112 is sliding, its lower surface 112c, which functions as a bullet partitioning portion, has a bullet feeding passage 103.
The upper side of the bullet is covered, and the next bullet 20 is loaded into the bullet feeding passage 1
03, that is, the next bullet 20 can be separated. Then, by moving the bullet holding hole 113 to the first position in the barrel 100 by the bullet moving means 110, one bullet 20 held in the bullet holding hole 113 is transferred to the first position.

The next bullet never enters the barrel because one is not completely inside the barrel. Then, when the bullet partitioning means that is slidable along the barrel is slid so as to partition the bullet, the bullet near the barrel is separated from the next bullet by the sliding of the bullet partitioning means, and is loaded into the barrel.
Therefore, even if the structure is simplified, it is possible to continuously and automatically supply bullets to the pseudo-gun and to load the bullets into the barrel one by one. When the trigger is pulled, the bullet partitioning means slides to separate the bullets, and when the bullets near the barrel are completely loaded in the barrel, the elastic pressing means is completely loaded in the barrel. Since the pressed state of the bullet is released, the pressed state of the bullet by the elastic pressing means is released when the bullet is fired, and the bullet can be fired without resistance. Furthermore , it is possible to make a state in which a bullet can be fired in association with the movement of the trigger.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the bullet partitioning means has an end portion on the bullet separating side which is an inclined surface, and the separated bullets are inserted into the barrel by sliding the inclined surface. Since it is a moving structure, the separated bullets move into the barrel by sliding the inclined surface, so by adjusting the length of the inclined surface (thickness of the part where the inclined surface is formed) Since the position can be separated from the barrel, the pressing mode of the bullet by the elastic pressing means can be set relatively freely.

A bullet reservoir connected to the side, and a gas is used as the bullet feeding means, and the bullet in the bullet reservoir is moved into the barrel through the second bullet feeding passage and the first bullet feeding passage by the gas. Because of the supply configuration, it becomes possible to automatically supply the bullets stored in the bullet storage section by gas into the barrel through the second bullet supply passage and the first bullet supply passage.

Further, according to the invention of claim 5 , a weight slidably provided within a range of a constant distance and an elastic means for applying an elastic biasing force to the weight on one end side in the sliding direction. And a means for supplying a fourth gas for moving the weight to the other side in the sliding direction against the elastic force of the elastic means, and when the trigger is pulled, the fourth gas is kept constant. Since it is supplied to the recoil unit for a short period of time and then escapes to the outside, when the trigger is pulled, the bullet in the barrel is fired as described above,
At that time, gas is supplied to the reaction unit and the weight moves, and after a certain period of time, the gas escapes to the outside of the reaction unit, and the weight returns to its original state due to the elastic force and collides. Due to this collision, the reaction is transmitted to the hand of the game player holding the pseudo gun, and the state of actually shooting a real gun can be tasted,
There is a sense of presence.

According to the sixth aspect of the invention, the light emitting means provided in one of the housing having the target inside and the pseudo gun main body and the light from the light emitting means provided in the other are received. And a determination means for permitting the firing of a bullet when the light receiving means receives the light from the light emitting means,
When the muzzle is aimed at or near the target, the light receiving means receives the light from the light emitting means, and the judging means permits the firing of the bullet,
When the muzzle is directed to the outside of the housing, the light-receiving means does not receive the light from the light-emitting means, and the judging means is incapable of firing the bullet.Therefore, unless the muzzle is aimed at or near the target, It is possible to prevent bullets from being accidentally fired without permitting the firing of, and to ensure safety.

According to the invention of claim 7 , the light emitted by the light emitting means is pulsed light, and the pulse has a frequency different from the frequency of the external light incident on the light receiving means. With this configuration, even if external light is incident on the light receiving means, the external light and the light from the pseudo gun are discriminated and judged, so that it is possible to prevent the bullet from being fired by the incident external light. It is possible to secure heavy safety.

According to the eighth aspect of the present invention, the bullet is made of a material containing a phosphorescent agent, and light irradiating means for irradiating the bullet passing through the barrel with light is provided. Therefore, if the inside of the housing is kept relatively dark, the trajectory of the shining bullet can be visually recognized, and the taste can be greatly improved.

Further, in the case of the invention of claim 9 , since the ammunition is composed of a spherical shape, the directionality of the ammunition at the time of continuously supplying the ammunition to the pipe in the pseudo gun is There is no hindrance, and the bullet separating means can facilitate the bullet separation.
