ABSTRACT:
An improved missile-launching weapon for launching either an arrow-type missile, a slug-type missile, or a plurality of shot-type pellets is provided. The weapon includes springs mounted in cooperation with pivotally mounted lever arms such that the lever arms can be moved to place the springs in and out of a loaded condition. The weapon also includes a removable guide that can be interchanged with a modified guide to allow the various types of missiles to be fired. A drive member is slidably mounted on the guide and is propelled by a cable extending between the springs. A trigger mechanism is mounted substantially near the center of gravity of the weapon to releasably latch the slide member in a cocked position. The trigger mechanism provides a proper amount of "feel" to the operator to allow the weapon to be fired accurately.
