JP3628618B2 - Computer program for virtual experience of model gun attachment and shooting - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem that, since a simulation light gun is exclusively used, it is difficult to improve a feeling of shooting and a person having such an idea is unsatisfactory. SOLUTION: Since attachments 20 and 70 are detachably attached to the simulation gun 10 belonging to an air blow-back type air gun, a virtual shooting on a computer can be carried out using the simulation gun 10 only by attaching the attachments 20 and 70 to the relatively elaborate simulation gun 10. Thus, a user can be satisfied with reality. Further, since the attachments 20 and 70 themselves may have simply their natural minimum functions, the simulation gun does not have a complicated structure and is adequately practical in view of production cost. Further, lovers of the simulation gun can also use their private simulation guns as input means of a computer or the light gun.

Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an attachment that expands the function of a model gun, and further relates to a computer program that allows a virtual experience of shooting.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, as disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-244073, etc., the execution result of a computer program for virtual experience of shooting is displayed on the screen of the image display device. It is known that when a virtual target displayed according to the execution result is aimed and a trigger of a simulated light gun connected to a computer is triggered, a shooting position in the screen is detected or calculated to determine a hit / miss.
[0003]
In this case, an optical system is formed in the barrel of the simulated beam gun and a predetermined light receiving element is accommodated, and a shooting position is detected by detecting a bright line transmitted from the screen of the image display device. ing. In general, this simulated light gun is manufactured for exclusive use for operating the computer program. These simulated light guns are often called gun controllers, gun-type controllers, and the like.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
As described above, the conventional simulated light gun is generally designed exclusively for the input means of the computer program. For this reason, even if the function as an input means for the computer is sufficiently satisfactory, it is difficult to improve the actual feeling of shooting with a simulated light gun manufactured on the condition that the user can easily purchase it. The user who wanted the taste had to be unsatisfactory. Realism, especially in visual terms, was far from a real gun. In addition, it was not impossible to make a dedicated controller beyond the allowable range, but the production cost was high.
[0005]
Furthermore, in order to enjoy the feel of different guns, it is necessary to prepare individual models simulating each gun, and purchasing all of them has a great burden on the user, so it must be less realistic. I don't get it.
Furthermore, there are many lovers of model guns (so-called model guns) among users who love the so-called shooting game, which is a computer program that executes a virtual experience of shooting, and among these lovers There was a desire to use their favorite model gun as an input means for shooting games.
[0006]
The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus capable of improving the user's preference and satisfaction with respect to virtual shooting without impairing the function as an input means for a computer. Furthermore, the object is to improve the actual feeling of shooting in a computer program that allows a virtual experience of shooting.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the invention according to claim 1 has a movable trigger.And the slide blows back when operating the triggerAn attachment that can be attached to and detached from the model gun, and a main body case that can be attached to the model gun, and the display screen by the model gun by pulling the trigger of the model gun facing the display screen of the image display device An optical system oriented in the barrel direction of the model gun, a trigger operation detecting means for detecting the operation of the trigger, and connected to the optical system and the trigger operation detecting means in order to detect a shooting position inside A control signal output circuit for outputting a control signal ofMeans for fixing the body case to the slide;WithThe trigger operation detecting means includes a fixture that has one end inserted into the barrel of the model gun and is fixed, and one end connected to the other end of the fixture outside the barrel, and the barrel from the barrel tip side. A stem extending toward the rear end side, a projecting portion provided on the rear end side of the stem, a cylindrical portion provided in the main body case and into which the distal end of the stem is inserted, and the slide in the cylindrical portion The pressure switch has a pressure switch that protrudes so as to interfere with the protruding portion according to the blow back and changes the connection status of the contact at the time of the interference. As the trigger is pulled and moved rearward when the slide blows back from the on (or off) state, the interference between the protrusion and the pressure switch is released, and the contact is turned off (or on). When the slide that has blown back further moves forward and returns to the initial position after the above-mentioned state, the protrusion and the pressure switch again interfere with each other, causing a change in the contact that turns on (or off) the contact. The main body case has a counter mechanism that counts the number of blowback operations inside, and the main body case enters the cylinder portion with a predetermined number of counts, and the protruding portion interferes with the pressure switch. With a stopper to preventThe configuration is as follows.
[0008]
In the invention according to claim 1 configured as described above, the main body case can be attached to any model gun.To slide to blow backWhen mounted, the optical system is oriented in the barrel direction in this mounted state. Therefore, when the model gun is aimed at the target on the display screen, the optical system forms an image of the target site. When the trigger is pulled in this state, the trigger operation detecting means detects this, and the control signal output circuit outputs a control signal based on the situation where the optical system receives light.
[0009]
That is, a model gunSlideWhen the trigger is operated with the body case attached, a control signal is output based on the image of the part aimed by the model gun, and it can be determined whether the computer has hit the target based on this control signal . And by changing the model gun according to the situation for each type of virtual shooting or for each scene of virtual shooting and mounting the main body case, the user can virtual with many model guns as well as his favorite model gun You can experience shooting.
[0010]
The model gun has a slide that blows back. When the slide blows back by a trigger operation, the main body case itself blows back and moves. At this time, since the projection provided at the rear end of the stem is in a positional relationship that interferes with the pressure switch in the cylinder part, the connection state of the contact of the pressure switch as the slide moves back and forth with blowback Changes. That is, when the slide is in a standby state and the pressure switch is in contact and the contact point is on, the trigger is pulled and the slide moves back when the slide blows back. After the interference is released and the contact is turned off, the blowback slide further moves forward and returns to the initial position, and the protrusion and pressure switch interfere again to turn the contact on. The trigger operation detecting means detects the operation of the trigger with the change of the contact point.
[0011]
Therefore, it is only necessary to detect that the trigger has been operated when the contact is turned off and to output a control signal from the control signal transmission circuit. Of course, the change mode of the contact may be reversed. It is also possible to output a pulse-like trigger when interference is first resolved. In this way, the trigger operation detection means is different without using a sensor that is difficult to mount by easily detecting the movement of the main body case itself, which has a sliding operation larger than the trigger, and estimating the trigger operation. Trigger operation is detected regardless of the model gun type.
[0012]
By the way, as a model gun that blows back, in recent years, a gas type is often used. In this case, as long as there is gas, it can be fired, so it is possible to fire more bullets than the original number of bullets loaded in the magazine. However, this may cause the user to feel unrealistic. Therefore, in order to cope with this, the counter mechanism in the main body case counts the number of blowback operations, and when the number of bullets that can be loaded is counted, the stopper enters the cylindrical portion. Originally, the protruding portion is accommodated in the cylindrical portion so as to be freely movable back and forth, and is in contact with and separated from the pressure switch every time the blowback operation is performed.However, the protruding portion is separated from the pressure switch when the stopper enters the cylindrical portion. It will not contact. Then, even if the trigger is pulled, the connection state of the contact of the pressure switch does not change, and as a result, a control signal is not output from the control signal transmission circuit, so that a situation where shooting is not possible is formed. That is, the same situation as the original bullet out can be realized.
[0013]
In addition, in an automatic type that blows back in an actual gun, it is necessary to first load a bullet. The same applies to model guns, and some users are particular about the loading operation itself. Therefore, according to a second aspect of the present invention, in the attachment according to the first aspect, the trigger operation detecting means is provided in the lower part of the case so as to be movable back and forth and to be rotatable within a predetermined range, and the protruding portion is provided. Equipped with a sloped surface that makes it easy to move from the rear to the front and relatively difficult to move in the opposite direction, and the protrusion can move freely in the front-rear direction within a specified range with respect to the stem. The projection is positioned rearward of the frame when the bullet is not loaded, and when the bullet is loaded, the projection easily moves over the slope of the frame as the slide moves. At the end of loading, the projecting part comes into contact with the slope where it is difficult to get over and moves the frame from the front to the back. Press to change to on (or off), and at the time of shooting operation, as the slide is moved by blowback, the projection part moves relative to the front to release the pressure switch contact and turns off (or on) Then, the protrusion part moves again toward the top again, contacts the slope where it is difficult to get over, moves the piece from the front to the back, and presses the contact of the pressure switch to turn on ( (Alternatively, trigger operation can be detected by changing to off)As a configuration.
[0014]
In the invention according to claim 2 configured as described above, in the initial state in which no bullet is loaded, the protruding portion is located rearward of the frame. Then, when the slide is moved backward in order to load the bullet first, the protruding portion moves relative to the frame from the rear to the front. Here, the slope shape of the top is a shape that can easily overcome this relative movement, and the protrusion moves to the front side of the top. Then, when the slide is moved forward after the loading operation of the bullets is finished, the protruding portion moves relative to the frame from the front to the rear. However, it is an inclined surface that is difficult to move with respect to this moving direction, and the protruding portion biases the frame from the front to the rear. Thereby, the connection state of the contact of the pressure switch changes. On the other hand, in the subsequent shooting operation, the slide blows back, so that the main body case moves backward. Then, since the piece is separated from the protrusion, the connection status of the pressure switch contact changes temporarily.When the slide moves forward again, the protrusion attaches the pressure switch to the rear via the piece. The connection status of the contacts is restored. As described above, the contact change mode may be reversed.
[0015]
By the way, if the above-mentioned stopper enters the cylinder portion and becomes a bullet-out state that is realized in a pseudo manner, reloading is actually performed, but in the present invention, this reloading clears the counter mechanism and sets the initial state. , Will return the stopper. As an example of the counter mechanism, the invention according to claim 3 is the attachment according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the counter mechanism has a disk that rotates by a predetermined angle each time blowback is performed. The stopper is driven synchronously at the periphery of the disk, and enters the cylindrical portion when the disk rotates by a certain angle.
[0016]
In the invention concerning Claim 3 comprised as mentioned above, it has a disc which rotates only a predetermined angle for every blowback, and this disc rotates whenever it shoots. The stopper is located on the periphery of the disk and is driven synchronously. Although the stopper is located away from the tube at the initial position, the number of shootings has increased and the disk has been rotated by a certain angle. Then, it enters into the cylinder part. As a result, it enters between the protruding portion and the pressure switch, and prevents the connection state of the pressure switch from changing thereafter.
[0017]
On the other hand, the fixing tool is fixed inside the barrel. As an example of the fixing mode, the invention according to claim 4 is the attachment according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein one end of the fixing tool is provided. Is constructed such that a simulated shooting bullet corresponding to the model gun is fixed, and the shooting bullet is inserted and fixed at a loading position of the shooting bullet on the back side in the barrel. In general, model guns can often be loaded with shooting bullets. The gas model gun described above can be loaded with a shooting bullet and fired at the time of shooting. In the case of using such a model gun, in the invention according to claim 4 configured as described above, when one end of the fixing tool is inserted into the back of the barrel, a simulated shooting fixed to one end of the fixing tool. The bullet is inserted into the original shooting bullet loading position and fixed. Therefore, there is no room for loading the shooting gun of the model gun as long as this fixture is mounted, and no shooting bullet is fired even when the trigger is pulled.
[0018]
In order to improve the visual satisfaction of the user, the invention according to claim 5 is the attachment according to any one of claims 1 to 4, wherein the appearance of the main body case is the same as that of the model gun. It has a configuration that mimics a wearable sight. In the invention according to claim 5 configured as described above, the attachment of the present invention is attached to the model gun because the main body case imitates a sight that is preferably used as an existing attachment of the model gun. At the same time, it does not detract from the beauty of the gun. Therefore, the user can experience virtual shooting more realistically. In addition, what is called a dot sight, a laser sight, a scope, a sure fire etc. is mentioned as a thing suitable for the sighting device to imitate.
[0019]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, since the input means necessary for executing the computer program for virtual experience of shooting can be mounted on the slide of any model gun, the preference of virtual shooting is improved. In addition, it is possible to provide an attachment that can be enjoyed in various ways by changing the model gun to be mounted because it is not necessary to have a complicated configuration and is easy to mount. Moreover, it can be mounted on a realistic model gun that blows back the slide to improve the preference, and the movement of the slide, which is a large component compared to the trigger, can be detected with a simple configuration. In addition, since the tip of the stem is inserted into the cylinder part of the main body case and relative movement is detected in the cylinder part, the periphery of the switch can be covered, and durability can be improved and arrangement determination can be made relatively. It becomes easy to do. In addition, it is possible to make it impossible to shoot when it is shot a predetermined number of times, and to feel the realism of a gun with a limited number of loaded bullets.
[0020]
Furthermore, according to the second aspect of the present invention, it is possible to implement the operation of loading the bullets first, and the atmosphere of the gun can be felt more strongly. Furthermore, according to the invention concerning Claim 3, since it is the structure which only rotates a disc, it is realizable with a simple structure.
[0021]
Furthermore, according to the invention concerning Claim 4, since it is the structure which fixes a simulated shooting bullet to the loading position of a shooting bullet, it can prevent a misfire reliably. Furthermore, according to the fifth aspect of the present invention, when the main body case is attached to the model gun, the aesthetic appearance as a gun is not impaired, so that the user can experience virtual shooting more realistically.
[0054]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an attachment according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the attachment and a model gun, and FIG. 3 is a circuit diagram showing the attachment. For convenience of explanation, the muzzle side of the model gun is referred to as the front.
In FIG. 1, a model gun 10 which is a gas blowback type air gun has a trigger 10a, and when the trigger 10a is pulled, a compressed gas is supplied from a built-in gas cartridge and a slide 11 is blown back. is there. An attachment 20 is attached to the model gun 10, and the attachment 20 includes a main body case 30, an optical system 40, a trigger operation detection means 50, and a control signal output circuit 60.
[0055]
Next, in FIG. 2, the attachment 20 includes a main body case (reference numeral 30 in FIG. 1) imitating the external appearance of a sight 21 that is preferably used as a general model gun equipment, and a control box 22. Has been. By simulating the external appearance of the main body case of the attachment 20 with the sighting device 21, when the main body case is attached to the model gun, the user's preference and satisfaction with respect to the shooting of the model gun 10 can be visually satisfied. . Hereinafter, in the present embodiment, the main body case is treated as a sighting device. Further, the control box 22 is a box-shaped case having a circuit board having an IC 23a as shown in FIG. 3 and having two push-type switches 23b1 and 23b2 on the outer surface, and is connected to the circuit board. The signal line 23c thus drawn is drawn out. A connector 23d is connected to one end of the signal line 23c and can be connected to a computer (not shown) or a so-called computer game machine. Note that two ribs 22a and 22a oriented in the front-rear direction are formed on the upper surface of the control box 22, and can be fixed with screws while sandwiching the lower part of the front portion of the model gun 10.
[0056]
1 to 3, the sighting device 21 is mounted on the upper part of the slide 11 of the model gun 10, and the optical system 40 is accommodated therein. Further, a light receiving element 42 is housed in the optical system 40 together with the lens 41. The signal line connected to the light receiving element 42 and the pressure switch 23e is once led out of the sight 21 and then led into the control box 22, and is connected to the IC 23a described above, from the IC 23a. Are output from the control box 22.
[0057]
The reason why the control box 22 is prepared in addition to the sight 21 is as follows. That is, since the sighting device 21 is mounted on the slide 11, it moves back and forth as will be described later. However, if the signal line 23c is directly connected to the computer at this time, the signal line 23c may move back and forth greatly. Because.
FIG. 4 is a partially cutaway side view showing a state where the sighting device 21 is mounted on the model gun 10. The sighting device 21 includes an upper case 21a that is formed in a cylindrical shape at the upper portion and accommodates the optical system 40, and a hollow lower case (cylindrical portion) 21b that is formed at a lower portion in a slightly small-diameter cylindrical shape. The lower surface of the lower case 21b can be fixed with screws while sandwiching the upper surface portion of the slide 11 with the U-shaped stays 22b1 and 22b1 disposed in the front portion and the rear portion on the lower surface. Here, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the lower case 21b is a hollow case oriented in the barrel direction and closed at the front end side, and the rear end portion of the stem 24 enters the inside thereof so as to be movable back and forth. Has been. Here, a disc-shaped protruding portion 24 a and a spring 24 b are attached to the rear end of the stem 24. That is, the protrusion 24a is supported by being sandwiched between the spring 24b and the front end wall surface 21b2 of the lower case 21b while being prevented from coming off by a caulking portion 24c formed at the end of the stem 24. When the stem 24 moves relatively forward, the protruding portion 24a that is prevented from coming off compresses the spring 24b between the front end wall surface 21b2. In the present embodiment, the stem 24 and the protruding portion 24a also constitute a protruding piece.
[0058]
Further, a frame 25 that is displaceable in a predetermined direction is accommodated in the upper wall portion on the rear end side of the lower case 21b. The frame 25 includes a columnar protrusion 25a protruding in the thickness direction, and a groove formed in the front-rear direction on the inner wall surface of the slit 21b2 formed in the front-rear direction with respect to the upper wall on the rear end side of the lower case 21b. The protrusion 25a is inserted into 21b2a. Therefore, the top 25 can move back and forth within the slit 21b2 and can rotate within a predetermined range. In addition, two inclined surfaces with different angles are formed on the lower surface side of the frame 25. That is, an inclined surface 25b2 having a gentle angle from the rear end side to the front end side is formed, and an inclined surface 25b1 having a steep angle from the front end side to the rear end side is formed.
[0059]
Further, a vertical wall surface 25c1 and an inclined surface 25c2 extending from the lower end of the wall surface 25c1 to the inclined surface 25b2 are formed on the rear end side of the frame 25. A similar vertical wall surface 21b2a1 and inclined surface 21b2a2 are also formed on the side of the slit 21b2 facing the wall surface 25c1 and the inclined surface 25c2. As a result, the angle of the frame 25 is guided to the original horizontal state, and finally the wall surfaces 25c1 and 21b2a1 face each other.
[0060]
A protrusion 25d is formed on the upper surface of the top 25, and can come into contact with the movable piece 26a of the micro switch 26 disposed on the upper surface of the rear end side of the slit 21b2. That is, when the piece 25 moves forward, the projection 25d moves away from the movable piece 26a, and even if the piece 25 rotates at that position, it does not interfere with the movable piece 26a, but the piece 25 moves to the rear end side. Then, as described above, the inclined surface 25c2 of the frame 25 and the inclined surface 21b2a2 of the slit 21b2 come into contact with each other to induce the angle of the frame 25 to the original horizontal state, and when further moved to the rear end side, the protrusion 25d Will push the movable piece 26a backward. Then, the connection status of the contacts in the microswitch 26 changes. Of course, this microswitch 26 corresponds to the pressure switch (23e in FIG. 3) of the present invention in the present embodiment.
[0061]
The top 25 can be moved back and forth and rotated at a predetermined angle as described above, so that the top 25 can be freely climbed when the protruding portion 24a held at the rear end of the stem 24 moves forward. In addition, when moving to the rear side, the movable piece 26a of the micro switch 26 is displaced via the piece 25, and the same piece 25 can be climbed as necessary. That is, when the projection 24a moves from the rear side to the front side of the top 25 so that the state shown in FIG. 6 in the initial state is changed to the state shown in FIG. 7, the top 25 is brought into contact with the gentle inclined surface 25b2. Move forward and rotate clockwise to get over. At this time, since the frame 25 has moved forward, the protrusion 25d does not interfere with the movable piece 26a even if it is rotated.
[0062]
On the other hand, when the protruding portion 24a tries to move from the front side to the rear side of the frame 25, the projection portion 24a hits the inclined surface 25b1 with a steep angle in the frame 25, so that the frame 25 is pushed backward. At this time, although the frame 25 tries to rotate counterclockwise, as described above, the inclined surface 25c2 of the frame 25 and the inclined surface 21b2a2 of the slit 21b2 come into contact with each other to guide the angle of the frame 25 to the original horizontal state. And move it backwards. Then, when the vertical wall surface 25c1 of the frame 25 and the vertical wall surface 21b2a1 of the slit 21b2 come into contact with each other, the frame 25 stops and the protruding portion 24a also stops. At this time, if the force with which the spring 24b pushes the protruding portion 24a is too large, the protruding portion 24a gets over the top 25, but the two are held in engagement by appropriately adjusting the biasing force. This state is shown in FIG.
[0063]
Of course, together with the microswitch 26, the trigger 25 and the protruding portion 24a mainly constitute the trigger operation detecting means 50 with these accompanying portions.
By the way, the front end of the stem 24 is connected to the tip of a rod-like fixture 28 via a connecting member 27, and the fixture 28 enters the barrel 12 from the muzzle 12a. A simulated bullet 28a simulating the shooting bullet of the model gun 10 is formed at the tip of the fixture 28, and the simulated bullet 28a is a magazine located on the back side of the barrel 12 as shown in FIGS. It is inserted into the upper end portion of 13 and fixed. By inserting the magazine 13 in the upper end in this way, the loading position of the shooting bullet to be fired is closed, so that erroneous firing can be reliably prevented. Further, the simulated bullet 28a is fixed to the upper end of the magazine 13 in the barrel 12, thereby stabilizing the relative positions of the stem 24, the connecting portion 27, and the fixture 28 with respect to the barrel 12.
[0064]
The model gun 10 of the present embodiment is a so-called gas blowback type air gun. However, in such a model gun, bullet breakage occurs when the BB bullets accommodated in the magazine 13 run out. However, the number of BB bullets that can be loaded is larger than that of a real gun, and some users feel that it is not realistic. For this reason, in this embodiment, a stopper mechanism 29 as shown in FIG. 9 is accommodated in the aiming device 21 for the purpose of limiting the number of bullets that can be shot. The stopper mechanism 29 has a counter mechanism 29a that pulls the rack 29a1 backward by a single blowback operation while protruding the rack 29a1 oriented in the front-rear direction, and a disk 29b that can rotate by meshing with the rack 29a1. And a rod-like stop bar 29c formed on the peripheral surface of the disk 29b.
[0065]
Although the stop bar 29c is in a position where it does not interfere with the lower case 21b in the initial state, when the disk 29b rotates counterclockwise by repeating shooting, the lower bar It enters the lower case 21b through a slit 21b3 formed in the upper wall surface on the front side of the case 21b. When the stop bar 29c enters the lower case 21b in this way, the protruding portion 24a protrudes into a range where it moves back and forth in the lower case 21b, so that the protruding portion 24a hits the end of the stop bar 29c, and the above-mentioned Cannot be moved toward the frame 25 side. As a result, thereafter, the connection state of the contacts of the micro switch 26 does not change, and virtual shooting stops on the connected computer side. Normally, in a game using virtual shooting as a motif, reloading is performed when the bullet is out, but in the case of this model gun 10, reloading can be realized by rotating and returning the disk 29b to the initial position. The stop bar 29c constitutes the stopper of the present invention.
[0066]
Next, the operation of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described.
First, the sighting device 21 and the control box 22 are attached to the model gun 10. The control box 22 is fixed by sandwiching the front lower part of the model gun 10 from both sides with ribs 22a, 22a on the upper surface, and the sight 21 is fixed by sandwiching the upper part of the slide 11 forward and backward with stays 22b1, 22b1. . At this time, since the sighting device 21 and the control box 22 are connected by a signal line, the signal line is connected in a movable range of the slide 11 with a sufficient margin. Further, when the sighting device 21 is mounted, the rear end side of the fixture 28 is inserted into the barrel 12 from the muzzle 12a of the model gun 10 in advance, and the simulated bullet 28a at the rear end is the simulated bullet loading position above the magazine 13. Fix it so that it goes in.
[0067]
When the sighting device 21 and the control box 22 are attached, the positional relationship between the protruding portion 24a and the top 25 in the lower case 21b is as shown in FIG. That is, the protruding portion 24a is positioned behind the frame 25, and is not in a state of biasing the frame 25 backward. In pursuit of realism, for the first bullet, it is necessary to manually pull down the slide 11 to load the bullet in the magazine 13 into the firing position at the rear of the barrel 12. Accordingly, the same operation is performed on the model gun 10 to which the attachment 20 is attached. When the slide 11 is manually pulled down, the lower case 21b of the sight 21 also moves backward. At this time, the fixture 28 is fixed to the barrel 12 of the model gun 10, and the stem 24 connected by the connecting member 27 is also fixed, so that the rear end of the stem 24 is accompanied by the relative movement of the lower case 21b. The projecting portion 24a of the first and second projections 24a relatively moves forward in the lower case 21b. At this time, the protruding portion 24a moves over the top 25 provided on the upper wall of the lower case 21b so as to rotate clockwise. When the slide 11 is moved to a predetermined position and then returned to the original position, the projecting portion 24a moves from the front to the rear in the lower case 21b, but when moving in this direction, a steep angle at the top 25 It strikes the inclined surface 25b1 and tries to push down the same frame 25 backward. When the frame 25 moves backward, the inclined surface 25c2 and the inclined surface 21b2a2 of the slit 21b2 come into contact with each other, and the angle of the frame 25 is guided to the horizontal state to move backward, so that the projection 25d moves the movable piece 26a to the rear side. Press to change the connection status of the contacts in the microswitch 26. On the computer side (not shown), the contact state at this time in the micro switch 26 becomes a virtual shooting start condition.
[0068]
Next, when a computer program for virtually experiencing shooting is executed and the user pulls the trigger 10a, the slide 11 moves backward by the force of the compressed gas and returns to the front again. At this time, in the lower case 21b, the protrusion 24a is abutted from the front of the top 25, and the top 25 is moved rearward to separate the two, thereby causing the protrusion 25d of the top 25 to be micro-switch 26. Therefore, the connection state of the contacts of the micro switch 26 itself changes. Then, the computer side detects the change of the micro switch 26 and determines that it has been shot, and inputs a control signal for the light receiving element 42. Of course, both the contact state of the micro switch 26 and the control signal of the light receiving element 42 are detected via the IC 23a. When the trigger 10a is pulled, the computer displays a bright line at a predetermined position on the display screen of the connected image display device, and if the light receiving element 42 can receive the bright line, it is determined that the barrel 12 is facing the predetermined position. It is possible to make a determination as to whether or not the result is correct.
[0069]
When the trigger 10a is pulled once, the slide 11 blows back, and each time the counter mechanism 29a pulls the rack 29a1 step by step, the disk 29b meshing with the rack 29a also rotates slightly. Then, when the number of bullets loaded in the model gun 10 shoots, the stop bar 29c enters the lower case 21b. Therefore, when the blowback is performed next, the protruding portion 24a interferes with the stop bar 29c and 25 no longer abuts. As a result, the computer cannot detect the change in the contact state of the micro switch 26 and does not detect the subsequent shooting. That is, it can reproduce the same situation as a bullet out.
[0070]
Thereafter, when the user performs a reloading operation, the stop bar 29c returns to the initial position, so that the protruding portion 24a again comes into contact with the top 25 from the front, and the contact state of the micro switch 26 is changed. Accordingly, the shooting can be detected again on the computer side.
In the embodiment described above, the fixture 28 is mounted in the barrel 12, but the configuration shown in FIG. 10 to FIG.
[0071]
In this example, an engagement member 80 simulating a silencer that is suitably used as a general model gun equipment is attached to the muzzle 12a. The engaging member 80 includes a main body portion 81 attached to the muzzle 12 a and a protruding piece 82 extending rearward along the upper surface of the slide 11. Further, the projecting piece 82 has an arch shape connecting the two parallel strip portions 82a and 82a and the rear ends of the parallel strip portions 82a and 82a so as not to interfere with the site 11a formed on the upper surface of the front end of the slide 11. Projection part 82b.
[0072]
On the other hand, four stays 83a having a U-shaped cross section are formed on the lower surface of the sight 83 so as to sandwich the slide 11 in the width direction. The sighting device 83 is raised and supported by the four stays 83 a from the slide 11, and a fixed gap is formed between the upper surface of the slide 11 and the lower surface of the sighting device 83. The parallel strips 82a and 82a and the arch-shaped protrusions 82b can be inserted into the ridges. In the present embodiment, the control box is not provided as a separate body and is disposed inside the sight 83.
[0073]
11 and 12 both show the case where the slide 11 is in the normal position. As shown in FIG. 12, a micro switch 84 as a pressure switch is disposed inside the sight 83. When the slide 11 is in the normal position, the above-mentioned arch-shaped protrusion 82b is located on the rear side of the sight 83, and the micro switch 84 is located on the front side of the sight 83. The two do not interfere with each other, and the contacts in the microswitch 84 are in the initial state.
[0074]
On the other hand, FIG. 13 shows the operating state of the slide 11 at the time of blowback, and the microswitch 84 located near the front portion of the sight 83 is moved rearward by blowback and is moved to the arch-shaped protrusion 82b. Abut. As a result, the movable piece 84a of the micro switch 84 is pushed, and the connection state of the contacts in the micro switch 84 changes. For example, what is non-conductive in the initial state is temporarily turned on by the blowback operation.
[0075]
When blowback is completed, the slide 11 returns to the initial position again, and the contacts in the microswitch 84 also return to the initial state.
In this example, since the arch-shaped protrusion 82b is disposed so as to abut against the movable piece 84a of the micro switch 84, the direction of the micro switch 84 can be changed. For example, the protrusion 82b is formed in a mountain shape having both inclined surfaces in the front-rear direction, and the movable piece 84a is also formed in a mountain shape that protrudes downward on the micro switch 84 side. Then, when the slide 11 moves, the protrusion 82b comes into contact with the top of the movable piece 84a and is positioned so as to contact with the top again during the return operation.
[0076]
In such a case, one shot of operating the trigger 10a once causes two contact changes on the microswitch 84 side, but this is a process in the computer program that occurs twice in one shot. What is necessary is just to perform an execution process as what a contact change produces.
Next, FIG. 14 shows an embodiment in which the mechanical configuration is reduced. In this example, an sighting device 83 similar to that in the case of FIGS. 10 to 13 is provided, and the sighting device 83 includes an acceleration sensor 85a and an amplification circuit 85b together with the light receiving element 42 and the control signal output circuit 60 described above. .
[0077]
The acceleration sensor 85a outputs a control signal corresponding to acceleration in a predetermined direction, indicates directionality with positive and negative polarities, and indicates magnitude with an absolute value. When the output of the acceleration sensor 85a is input to the amplification circuit 85b, the amplification circuit 85b outputs only a positive signal, thereby amplifying only the signal of one polarity output from the acceleration sensor 85a. . That is, as shown in FIG. 15, the acceleration sensor 85a outputs a positive signal at the time t0 when the blowback is started, and the amplifier circuit 85b amplifies this, but the blowback ends and returns to the initial state. Since the acceleration sensor 85a outputs a negative signal when it comes, the amplifier circuit 85b does not amplify it. Therefore, one control signal is output at the time of one shooting, and no special processing on the computer side is required.
[0078]
In this example, an element that directly detects acceleration is provided, but a cylindrical portion is formed in the front-rear direction within the sight 83, and a weight is accommodated in the cylindrical portion, and supported by an elastic member in the front-rear direction. When the sight 83 quickly moves back and forth, the weight supported by the elastic member displaces the elastic member according to the law of inertia. Therefore, it can be said that detecting the displacement of the weight in the cylinder portion is equivalent to detecting the acceleration.
In the embodiment described above, the main body case is fixed to the slide 11, but FIG. 16 and subsequent figures show the attachment 70 fixed to a member on the fixed side of the model gun 10.
[0079]
In this example, the sighting device 71 and the control box 72 are connected via a connecting portion 73. The connecting portion 73 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape to the extent that the barrel of the model gun 10 can be inserted, and the upper surface of the control box 72 also forms the inner peripheral surface thereof. One end portion of the connecting portion 73 is extended from the upper portion of one side surface of the control box 72, passes through the side surface and the upper surface of the slide 11 to the other side surface, and again covers the other side surface of the control box 72. It has become. In this way, an annular portion that covers the periphery of the barrel is formed, and is screwed and fixed to the opposite surface of the control box 72. The slide 11 mainly covers both sides and the upper surface around the barrel, but the lower surface is not covered, and the connecting portion 73 sandwiches the fixed portion 15 of the model gun 10. FIG. 17 shows a state where the attachment 70 is attached to the model gun 10 in this way.
[0080]
In this case, the sighting device 71 is provided with an arm 71a as shown in FIG. 18 and an arm switch 71b whose contact changes by the displacement operation of the arm 71a. The arm 71a is pivotally supported at the upper end, and the lower end is rotatable within a predetermined range in the front-rear direction. In addition, a roller 71a1 having a frictional force is provided at the lower end, and a spring 71a2 that generates an urging force that can push the roller 71a1 against the upper surface of the slide 11 is also provided. Note that the urging force of the spring 71a2 does not need to be large, and acts when the arm 71a tries to rotate more than a certain angle. Specifically, the arm 71a is neutral at a position where the lower end of the arm 71a is on the front side with respect to the vertical direction, and exerts a pulling force toward the front side when rotated rearward. Further, the arm switch 71b contacts and pushes the movable piece 71b1 when the arm 71a rotates rearward to change the connection state of the contact.
[0081]
In the above configuration, in the initial state, the slide 11 is positioned forward as shown in FIG. 17, and the roller 71a1 is pressed against the upper surface of the slide 11 while the arm 71a is pulled forward by the spring 71a2. When the trigger 10a is pulled in this state, the model gun 10 blows back the slide 11 with the force of compressed gas.
Then, as shown in FIG. 19, the slide 11 vigorously moves backward, so that the tip of the arm 71a that is in contact with the roller 71a1 is drawn backward and pressed against the movable piece 71b1 of the arm switch 71b. Accordingly, the contact of the arm switch 71b changes, and the IC 23a in the control box 72 outputs a predetermined control signal. In addition, when the slide 11 once retracts and then returns to the front again, the arm 71a returns to the front together with the slide 11, and accordingly, the contact of the arm switch 71b returns to the initial state.
[0082]
Thus, the operation of the trigger 10a is detected by detecting the contact change of the arm switch 71b by displacing the arm 71a with the movement of the slide 11, and the trigger operation detecting means 50 is constituted by these. Yes.
In this embodiment, since the sighting device 71 as the main body case does not move relative to the main body of the model gun 10, the optical system in the sighting device 71 (corresponding to reference numeral 40 in FIG. 1) is also attached to the main body of the model gun 10. It does not move relative to it. Therefore, when the user pulls the trigger 10a of the model gun 10, the optical system is prevented from being shaken, and the aim can be aimed more accurately.
[0083]
Moreover, in this example, it implements without mounting | wearing with the special thing by the side of the slide 11, However, A special member can be arrange | positioned at the side of the slide 11, and the structure of the trigger operation | movement detection means 50 can also be simplified. it can.
20 and 21 schematically show a state in which a light emitting diode 86a and a phototransistor 86b are provided on the sighting unit 71 side, and a light / dark change seal 86c is attached on the slide 11 side. That is, the light emitting diode 86a and the phototransistor 86b are arranged side by side on the lower surface of the sighting device 71 so as to face the upper surface of the slide 11, and a screen is arranged so that direct light from the light emitting diode 86a does not enter the phototransistor 86b. A member 86d is arranged. Therefore, the irradiation light of the light emitting diode 86a is once irradiated on the slide 11 side, reflected by the upper surface of the slide 11, and incident on the phototransistor 86b. In this case, if the upper surface of the slide 11 is black, the reflected light is weak, and if the silver light / dark change seal 86c is pasted, the light / dark change seal 86c becomes the phototransistor 86b when the reflected light becomes strong. It can be recognized as having passed through the lower surface.
[0084]
Referring to the circuit diagram shown in FIG. 21, when the slide 11 is stationary, the light emitted from the light emitting diode 86a is reflected on the upper surface of the slide 11, but the reflected light is weak because the slide 11 is black. Accordingly, the phototransistor 86b is not turned on, and the connection point with the phototransistor 86b in the IC 23a is pulled down to the ground side, and becomes a low level (0 V) input.
On the other hand, when the slide 11 blows back and the light / dark change seal 86c passes below the light emitting diode 86a, most of the light emitted from the light emitting diode 86a is reflected and enters the phototransistor 86b. The phototransistor 86b is turned on. Then, the emitter of the phototransistor 86b is pulled up to the high potential side, and the input potential of the IC 23a becomes high level (Vcc).
[0085]
Therefore, the IC 23a can detect that the slide 11 is moved by the change of the input potential and that the trigger 10a is operated.
In the above example, the example in which the silver light / dark change seal 86c is pasted on the assumption that the slide 11 is black has been described. However, the slide 11 may be silver, in which case the silver light / dark change sticker is used. The seal 86c is useless. Therefore, in this case, a silver and black stripe pattern such as a barcode may be used. Then, periodic changes in brightness are detected on the IC 23a side or the computer side, and the passage of the slide 11 and the operation of the trigger 10a are determined.
[0086]
In this case, the light-dark change pattern may be changed in the front-rear direction. For example, the width of light and dark gradually becomes narrower as it moves backward. Then, when the slide 11 blows back, the interval between light and dark changes gradually becomes narrower, and when the slide 11 returns, the interval between light and dark changes gradually becomes wider, so that the moving direction of the slide 11 can be detected. . If the moving direction of the slide is known, it can be determined that the shot is shot only when the slide 11 is moved backward, and the control signal during forward movement can be ignored.
[0087]
In addition to changes in brightness, for example, as shown in FIG. 22, a magnet 87a may be attached to the slide 11 side, and a hall element 87b may be provided on the sighting device 71 side. In this case as well, the output change of the Hall element 87b may be detected by the IC 23a to detect the movement of the slide 11 and the operation of the trigger 10a.
By the way, even when the attachment 70 is fixed to the fixed member of the model gun 10, it is possible to mechanically count the number of shots, and do not output a control signal when the predetermined number of shots is reached. Also good.
[0088]
On the other hand, this can be realized by processing on the computer side. First, a computer that executes a computer program according to the present invention includes a CPU 91 that performs arithmetic processing as shown in FIG. 23, a ROM 92 in which a program and data for startup processing are written, and data and computer programs (applications, etc.). A RAM 93 used for temporary storage, a reading device 94 for reading data from a medium (a CD-ROM in the embodiment) in which a computer program is recorded, and an I / O 95 for connecting a controller, a memory card, and the like A display circuit 96 for displaying an image on the image display device is provided.
[0089]
FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing the main part of such a computer program.
In FIG. 24, in step S100, the original number of bullets loaded in the model gun 10 is input. In this case, a numerical value may be selected and input on the screen of the image display device, or a main gun is displayed on the screen of the image display device, and the number of loaded bullets corresponding to this gun is held as a database. In addition, when a gun is selected, the number of loaded bullets may be read with reference to the database. Of course, this step S100 constitutes a loading bullet number input step. In step S102, the number of loaded bullets obtained in this way is set as the number of remaining bullets. This remaining number of bullets is a variable indicating the number of remaining bullets that can be fired by the processing of the computer program thereafter.
[0090]
In step S104, it is detected whether or not the trigger 10a is pulled. If it is detected that the trigger 10a is pulled, it is determined in step S106 whether or not the bullet is out. This is determined based on the bullet out flag. This bullet out flag is turned on when it is out of bullets, and is off when it is not out of bullets, and is updated sequentially in the process described later. If it is not out of bullet based on this bullet out flag, a shooting process (not shown) is executed in step S108. That is, the place where the sighting device 71 is facing when the operation of the trigger 10a is detected is detected, and if there is a target at that place, it is determined that it is a hit. Is determined.
[0091]
On the other hand, since the shooting process is performed, “1” is subtracted from the remaining number of bullets in step S110. As a result, if the remaining number of bullets is “0”, the bullet out flag is turned on in step S114 after the determination in step S112. Following this, in step S115, the bullet is displayed on the screen and the screen is displayed so that a reload operation is performed. This screen display may be a character or simply a bullet icon display. Furthermore, a display such as “0” as the remaining number of bullets may be displayed. That is, this screen display process constitutes a reload operation guide step.
[0092]
It is determined in step S116 whether the reloading operation has been performed, regardless of whether the shooting can be performed instead of running out of bullets, the shooting cannot be performed due to running out of bullets, or the trigger operation cannot be detected. In this case, it is preferable to perform an operation that can be detected on the computer side and takes a time required for reloading. For example, the push-type switches 23b1 and 23b2 are kept pressed for about 3 seconds, and the computer detects the operation state of the push-type switches 23b1 and 23b2 based on the control signal. Judge that it was done. In this case, the operation of the push type switches 23b1 and 23b2 may be detected by another interrupt program or the like, a flag may be set in the interrupt program, and the determination may be made in step S116.
[0093]
If a reload operation has been performed, the number of loaded bullets obtained in step S100 is set to the remaining number of bullets in step S118, and the bullet out flag is turned off in step S120. Further, when the reload operation is not performed, these processes are not performed. Since reloading can be performed at any time, the presence or absence of a reloading operation is detected regardless of whether or not a bullet has run out.
When the process related to reloading is completed, it is determined in step S122 whether the progress of the virtual shooting experience has been completed including other conditions. For example, if the number of ammunition that can be possessed by the computer program is determined separately from the number of ammunition that can be equipped with a single loading, and all the ammunition is shot, or the operator intentionally If you want to end the execution process, stop the execution process. However, normally, the process returns to step S104 again to detect whether or not the trigger 10a has been pulled, and the execution process is continued. Of course, processing such as screen display is also executed in parallel with this.
[0094]
As described above, by making it possible to shoot only the same number of loaded bullets as the real one for each model gun 10, virtual shooting can be made more realistic, for example, it is necessary to refrain from useless shooting.
By the way, in the gas blowback type air gun, compressed gas is consumed every time the gas blowback is performed. Therefore, the gas initially stored in the gas cartridge gradually decreases and cannot be shot. If the gas blowback is not possible during the virtual shooting experience, the shooting cannot be detected, which may be disadvantageous for the user.
[0095]
In the flowchart shown in FIG. 25, the execution process is temporarily stopped (paused) when the gas runs out, so that even if the gas runs out during the execution process of the computer program, there is no particular disadvantage. Yes.
First, in step S200, the remaining number of bullets recorded on a memory card or the like is read, and it is determined whether or not the remaining number of bullets is “0”. The remaining number of bullets is the data written to the non-volatile memory area sequentially during the execution of the computer program so that it can be updated from the remaining effective number of shots of the gas cartridge at the next startup even when the computer is turned off. is there. Therefore, when the execution process is started, first, the remaining number of bullets is read. However, when the attachment 20 is attached to the model gun 10 for the first time and the execution process of the computer program is started, no data is recorded. In this case, “0” is read.
[0096]
If the remaining number of bullets is “0”, a gas blowback gun is selected in step S202. In this process, a gas blowback gun registered in advance is displayed on the screen of the image display device, and the user selects his / her own gun. Here, the number of outgassing bullets that can be shot using a standard gas cartridge is registered for each gas blowback gun, and if the user selects his own gun, the number of outgassing ammunition stored correspondingly Is read. In step S204, the value of the number of out of gas bullets is substituted for the number of remaining bullets.
[0097]
On the other hand, if this step has been executed before, the remaining number of bullets is written in the memory card as will be described later, so that the remaining number of bullets is read and executed in step S200.
When the remaining number of bullets at the start of the computer program execution process is set, trigger operation detection process is executed in step S208. If it is detected that the trigger 10a has been pulled, the shooting process is executed as described above in step S210. In step S212, “1” is subtracted from the remaining number of bullets. As a result, if the remaining number of bullets becomes “0”, the execution process is temporarily stopped (paused) in step S216 after the determination in step S214. In step S218, a display indicating that gas outage has been detected as shown in FIG. 26 is displayed, and the response is selected. In this embodiment, using the variable number of remaining bullets as described above, when the value becomes “0”, it is detected that the gas has run out. It can be called processing.
[0098]
Here, the reason for temporarily stopping in step S216 is to prevent a user from having a disadvantage because a loss time occurs during the replacement of the gas cartridge. As described above, when the number of bullets loaded is exhausted, it is more realistic to dare to generate a loss time, but the gas blow-out with a gas blow-back air gun is nothing but a fun. Therefore, first, the execution process is temporarily stopped.
On the other hand, the content of the gas exhaustion detection displayed in step S218 corresponding to this is as shown in FIG. 26, “The gas is running low. Replace the gas cartridge. You can extend it.” That's it. You can select “Exchange” or “Extension” here. The replacement is literally an option to replace the gas cartridge with a new one. When the replacement is selected after replacing the gas cartridge, the selection operation is detected in step S224, and the remaining number of bullets is determined in step S226. Set the number of out of gas bullets. Of course, step S218 here constitutes a gas loading display step, and step S224 constitutes a pause release step. This number of out-of-gas bullets is the number of out-of-gas bullets corresponding to the gas blowback gun selected by the user in step S202, and is included in the data written to the memory card at the time of selection. Therefore, when the gas cartridge is replaced after running out of gas, the initial value can be known without selecting the gas blowback air gun again.
[0099]
If the remaining number of bullets is set to the initial state in step S226, it is determined in step S228 whether or not the virtual shooting scene being executed is complete. If the end condition is not satisfied, the trigger operation detection process is executed again in step S208. If the trigger operation is detected at this time, the above-described processing is executed. If not detected, it is determined in step S228 whether the end condition of the virtual shooting scene is satisfied. Repeat the process.
[0100]
By the way, “extended” can be selected while “exchange” is selected. For example, there may be a case where gas is still left in the gas cartridge and it may be possible to shoot for a while. In this case, it is useless to force the user to replace the gas cartridge, and if the same processing as “replacement” is performed without replacement, only the remaining number of bullets will be the new value for the remaining amount of gas that is essentially small. If you run out of gas and you ca n’t fire, you ca n’t pause the execution process. For this reason, “extension” can be selected. If there is still gas, “extension” is selected without replacing the gas cartridge. In this case, it is determined in step S220 that there is an extension operation, and a value of “20” is set as the remaining number of bullets in step S222. That is, the execution process is paused again after 20 more shots, and the gas cartridge is replaced if the gas is nearly exhausted at that time. If it does in this way, it can be used to the last minute as long as gas remains. Further, the “20” times may be appropriately selected depending on the situation.
[0101]
In the above, the user has a plurality of model guns 10 and does not assume the operation of replacing the attachment 20 as appropriate, but the number of remaining bullets described above may be prepared for each type of model gun 10. . In this case, when reading the remaining number of bullets in step S200, the corresponding air gun is displayed to allow the user to select it. Of course, it will be possible to create a new number of remaining bullets by selecting a new air gun. In this way, the model gun 10 can be exchanged by selecting a plurality of remaining bullet numbers at the start of the computer program execution process.
In the above embodiment, the attachments 20 and 70 contain the light receiving element 42. However, when the attachment 20 or 70 is attached to the model gun 10, it may be configured to contain a light emitting element as a light transmitting means.
[0102]
FIG. 27 schematically shows a state in which the attachment 100 including the light beam transmitting means 130 is attached to the model gun 10. Also in this attachment 100, while the optical system 140 is accommodated in the sight 110 as a main body case, the optical system 140 accommodates a light emitting element 130 such as a high-intensity LED instead of the light receiving element 42. It is possible to irradiate the beam light in the direction in which the barrel 12 of the model gun 10 faces through.
[0103]
Further, the sighting device 110 also accommodates a blowback operation detecting means 120, and the light emitting element 130 emits light based on a detection signal of the blowback operation detecting means 120. The blowback motion detection means 120 has a configuration substantially equivalent to the trigger motion detection means 50 in the attachments 20 and 70. That is, the pressure switch 23e, the arm switch 71b, the micro switch 84, and the like in the attachment 20 are mounted in the sighting device 110 together with the peripheral members.
[0104]
Therefore, when the user pulls the trigger 10a and the slide 11 of the model gun 10 performs a blowback operation, the connection status of the contact points such as the pressure switch 23e in the blowback operation detection means 120 changes, and the blowback is detected. Become.
FIG. 28 shows a circuit diagram of the attachment 100. The pressure switch 123e corresponding to the pressure switch 23e is connected to the IC 123a. When the IC 123a detects a blowback operation according to the connection state of the contact of the pressure switch 123e, a detection signal flows internally, and the high-intensity LED 131 So that a drive current flows through
[0105]
This drive current may simply flow for a predetermined time, but in this embodiment, the drive current flows or stops in a predetermined pattern. When a pattern is generated in the drive current in this manner, the high-intensity LED 131 blinks in accordance with the same pattern, so that the correspondence can be changed on the side that receives the blinking light based on the blinking pattern.
In order to select the blinking pattern, the push switch 123b1 is connected to the IC 123a, and the IC 123a detects the push-down state of the push switch 123b1 and changes the blinking pattern internally. Further, a display device 123c is connected to the IC 123a, and the status selected by the push switch 123b1 is displayed on the display device 123c.
[0106]
Examples of the contents that can be represented by the blinking pattern include a bullet diameter of an actual gun. If the blinking pattern indicates that the bullet diameter is large, it can be determined that the receiving side has a large destructive force, and if the blinking pattern indicates that the bullet diameter is small, the destructive force is small. It can be determined and handled. Further, as another determination, the type of bullet may be represented.
The other push type switch 123b2 can be used for another setting. For example, the original number of bullets loaded in the model gun 10 to which the attachment 100 is attached may be set. Of course, in this case as well, the set number of loaded bullets is displayed on the display 123c. The IC 123a internally counts the number of shots detected by the pressure switch 123e, and does not output a drive current to the high-intensity LED 131 until the reload operation is performed when the set number of bullets is reached. To do. In this case, the reloading operation may be set such that, for example, the push type switches 123b1 and 123b2 are continuously pressed for several seconds.

The attachment 100 can be used as a signal output means to a computer by transmitting a light beam, or may be used as a light gun in a survival game or the like. In any case, the user can transmit a predetermined beam in the facing direction of the barrel 12 simply by attaching the attachment 100 to the favorite model gun 10 and experience virtual shooting realized by a computer program.
As described above, since the attachments 20 and 70 can be attached to and detached from the model gun 10 belonging to the air blowback type air gun, the model gun 10 can be used only by attaching the attachments 20 and 70 to the relatively sophisticated model gun 10. As a result, the user can satisfy the reality, and the attachments 20 and 70 need only have the essential minimum functions, so that the structure is not complicated and the manufacturing cost is reduced. In terms of this, it becomes sufficiently practical.
