Launcher apparatus and methods for a toy projectile blaster with an adjustable inline barrel projectile loading functionality with a multi-shot projectile alignment extension mechanism switching selector allowing for barrel to slide including a barrel seal to align received projectiles for launching through a blaster barrel, and a channel into the alignment mechanism for a compressed air source. A pre-firing area and actuator at the housing are linked with the compressed air source for causing compressed air to expel through the channel into the alignment mechanism and outwardly launch the received projectile rounds.

Toy launcher adjustable inline barrel projectiles alignment methods and apparatus

A toy rounds blaster apparatus launching multiple projectile rounds with an energy source including a single launch spring for moving one or more pistons within one or more cylinders. A pressure distributor couples each of the one or more cylinders forward the one or more pistons, with an alignment system receiving a collection of the projectile rounds, for aligning individual projectile rounds between pressure distributor and the at least one barrel, with the pressure distributor coupling each of the one or more cylinders with a respective one of the individual projectile rounds. An actuator is linked with the energy source for causing the single launch spring of the energy source to move the one or more pistons and launch the projectile rounds.

Toy launching apparatus and methods for discharging multiple projectile rounds

Launcher apparatus and methods for a toy projectile blaster with a breechless projectile alignment module having a receptacle or hopper for multiple received projectile rounds, a passage at the alignment module including a barrel seal to align received projectiles for launching through a blaster barrel, and a channel into the alignment module for a compressed air source. A pre-firing area defines a junction inside the alignment module extending between the receptacle, the channel, and the barrel seal. An actuator at the housing is linked with the compressed air source for causing compressed air to expel through the channel into the alignment module and outwardly launch the received projectile rounds.
