ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for launching a disk-like projectile from a catapult with an aperture formed adjacent one end to receive structure of the catapult to configure the catapult to propel the apparatus forward. A channel in an opposite end is configured to receive the projectile with inner edges formed along internal sides and bottom thereof to engage the projectile. Structure of the apparatus offset from a central rotational axis of the received and engaged projectile holds the projectile in the apparatus during forward movement of the apparatus within the catapult and causes the projectile to rotate as the apparatus reaches the end of it's forward travel and releases the projectile.
