There is disclosed a projectile launcher having a housing, a launch tube slidably engaged to the housing, and a spring-loaded piston that is cocked by sliding the launch tube relative to the housing. After cocking, when it is desired to launch a projectile, a trigger is pulled, thereby uncocking the spring-loaded piston and launching the projectile. The projectile launcher may include one or more appendages joined to the housing and the trigger for movement when the trigger is pulled.
