ABSTRACT:
The invention is a pistol designed to fire inverted concave disks which are smaller in size but similar in principle to the flying saucers popularized under the trademark, Frisbee. The pistol is characterized by a generally rectangular firing chamber into which the disks are individually loaded, there being a spring loaded plunger which is trigger operated to strike the disks off center to impart a spinning as well as translational movement to them, and a rib at the exit end of the firing chamber retards one side of the existing disk to accelerate the spin. The rear end of the firing chamber beneath the loading opening is provided in its lower side edges with a pair of doubly inclined ramps which define centering surfaces so that the loaded disk will automatically settle into a laterally central position, and an upright post connected to the trigger projects into the hollowed area of the disk from beneath to restrain same in firing position, the post moving clear of the disk simultaneously with the firing action initiated by drawing the trigger rearwardly.
