Projectile-propelling toy and kit therefor
First Claim
1. A projectile-propelling toy comprising:
- (A) a first port and a first propulsion means for propelling a projectile via said first port; and
(B) a second port and a second propulsion means for propelling a projectile via said second port;
said first and second propulsion means being separately and independently driven, said first and second propulsion means being pneumatic, one of said propulsion means being manually-driven and another of said propulsion means being spring-driven.

Abstract
A projectile-propelling toy includes a first port and a first propulsion mechanism for propelling a projectile via the first port as well as a second port and a second propulsion mechanism for propelling a projectile via the second port. The first and second propulsion mechanisms are separate and independent, at least one of the first and second propulsion mechanisms being pneumatic. A kit for the toy includes a housing having an engaging element for releasably receiving a first weapon and a cavity for telescopically receiving at least a major portion of a second weapon. A magazine is adapted to be releasably received in functional engagement by each of the first weapon, the second weapon and the housing. One weapon includes a manually-driven pneumatic propulsion mechanism for propelling a projectile, a spring-driven pneumatic propulsion mechanism for propelling a projectile, and a selector for manually selecting which of the pneumatic propulsion mechanisms is operative at a given time.
