First Claim
1. A gun comprising:
- manipulating means operated by an operator;
shooting means for performing a shooting operation in response to the operation of said manipulating means;
recognition information generating means for generating recognition information for permitting the operator to recognize that the manipulation of said manipulating means has been performed; and
control means configured to detect the operation performed made by the operator on said manipulating means, and in response to the detected operation, to control said recognition information generating means whereby it generates said recognition information;
wherein said recognition information generating means comprises a solenoid, said recognition information generating means being responsive to a control signal from said control means to energize said solenoid, moving a shaft of the solenoid to cause first and second impact elements to impact one another, thereby generating said recognition information;
wherein said solenoid is in the shape of a cylinder which has a diameter larger than a length of the solenoid shaft measured along an axis of motion of the solenoid shaft;
wherein said solenoid is disposed such that the axis of motion of the solenoid shaft is perpendicular to a barrel of the gun.

Abstract
A gun suitable for games is disclosed for permitting an operator to recognize when a trigger is pulled. A target signal receiver receives a target signal sent from a target for causing the gun to recognize that the gun is opposite the target, and notifies a controller that the target signal receiver has received the target signal. Upon detection of a manipulation by the operator, the controller a forces shooting device to perform a shooting operation, and instructs an information generator to generate recognition information. The shooting device emits an optical bullet formed of a light ray. The recognition information generator drives a solenoid to bring associated members into impact against each other to permit the operator to recognize that the operation has been performed.

4. A gun comprising:
-
manipulating means operated by an operator;
shooting means for performing a shooting operation in response to the operation of said manipulating means , wherein said shooting means emits an optical bullet formed of a light ray in response to a shooting operation;
recognition information generating means for generating recognition information for permitting the operator to recognize that the manipulation of said manipulating means has been performed; and
control means configured to detect the operation performed made by the operator on said manipulating means, and in response to the detected operation, to control said recognition information generating means whereby it generates said recognition information;
a target signal receiver, constructed and arranged so as to receive a target signal sent from a target and generate a notification to said control means that said target signal is received so as to permit said gun to recognize that said gun is opposite said target, wherein;
said shooting means is prohibited from emitting the light ray and said recognition information generating means generates said recognition information upon detection of the operation of said manipulating means by said control means while said target signal receiver has not received said target signal; and
said shooting means emits the light ray and said recognition information generating means generates said recognition information upon detection of the operation of said manipulating means by said control means while said target signal receiver has received said target signal. - View Dependent Claims (5)

7. A gun comprising:
-
a trigger;
shooting means for performing a shooting operation in response to operation of said trigger by a user;
means for providing recognition information to the user as at least one of sound and vibration; and
control means for detecting the operation of the trigger, and in response to the detected trigger operation, actuating the means for providing recognition information to the user;
wherein the means for providing recognition information for the user comprises a solenoid with a solenoid shaft arranged so that when the solenoid is energized, the solenoid shaft moves along a line perpendicular to a barrel of the gun. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)
