ABSTRACT:
A gun for firing a resilient loop projectile, wherein the missile is stretched over a frame and discharged by a firing mechanism movable against the bias of on elastic member on an upwardly and rearwardly directed rectilinear path of travel. A combination plunger and rear sight has a forwardly curved surface to lift the loop upwardly off the firing groove to discharge the missile from the gun. The contour of the gun permits rapid movement of a missile from a ready position to a firing position and admits of the simultaneous loading with two missiles for rapid fire. The gun is constructed in a manner to resemble the feel and firing characteristics of a conventional hand gun. The projectiles for the gun are fabricated from a length of elastic tubing having a flexible polyurethane rod joining the tube ends to close the loop and enhance the firing accuracy and durability of the missile. The projectile is made of high visibility material and is floatable to insure recoverability after firing.
