ABSTRACT:
A mechanical projectile launcher utilizes novel cocking, advancement and indexing mechanisms for sequentially launching projectiles from a plurality of barrels. A linearly traveling handle is employed in the operations of both a firing mechanism and an advancement mechanism. A novel indexing mechanism utilizes a series of drive surfaces and alignment channels on a rotary element to allow a single advancement drive member, such as a pawl, to induce precise sequential alignment between a plurality of launching barrels and a firing mechanism, without the need for additional indexing members.
