A toy gun simulating an automatic rifle adapted to shoot ping pong balls and comprising a pair of complementary molded hollow shells which are connectable along a central plane to form an elongated frame having a shoulder stock at the rear end, a short cylindrical barrel at the forward end, a stationary supporting handle extending downward from said frame intermediately of the ends thereof, a magazine extending upward and rearward from said barrel to hold a limited number of ping pong balls for discharge into said barrel, a firing ram supported by guide device for reciprocation within the interior of the frame and having a ball-engaging member on the forward end and a head on the rearward end provided with a slot perpendicular to the path of movement of the ram, a crank rotatably supported by one side of said frame and connected to a support rotatable therewith. The support has a crank pin positioned for movement in said slot, and a compression spring within the frame operable upon the firing ram to project the same forwardly to fire a ball from said barrel incident to the crank pin moving from the upper end of said slot in the head of the firing ram prior to the pin reaching its zenith of movement.
