Abstract
A toy gun for launching a foam projectile from a launch station that is offset from the axis of the launcher. The gun includes a pneumatic launcher having a retractable plunger that reciprocates in a cylinder to define a compression chamber. One or more air ports are provided to communicate air from the compression chamber to the launch station in order to eject a projectile therefrom. The plunger incorporates a hollow shaft having transparent ends which are aligned with the transparent compression chamber, thus providing a continuous line of sight through said shaft and the compression chamber for aiming the gun toward an intended target.
