Abstract

Cette invention concerne un nouveau dispositif permettant de lancer des projectiles. Ce dispositif comprend un logement définissant une chambre de stockage et un canal de lancement. Le canal de lancement est ouvert à proximité d'une extrémité supérieure du logement. Plusieurs projectiles sont disposés à l'intérieur du canal de lancement. Un mécanisme de présentation de projectiles est activé afin de déplacer un projectile sélectionné parmi les multiples projectiles depuis la chambre de stockage vers le canal de lancement. Un mécanisme éjecteur est associé au canal de lancement et il est actionné afin de lancer un projectile présenté placé dans le canal de lancement à l'une vitesse de lancement choisie parmi les multiples vitesses de lancement.
