AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a peashooter kit that uses a rigid plastic tube with a uniform inner wall and opening, making it easier to aim and assess the positioning of the target. The kit includes a preferred spherical airsoft BB that is perfectly round and made of plastic, resulting in a more predictable trajectory and better shooting accuracy. The small difference between the diameter of the BB and the opening diameter of the tube creates a uniform space between them, ensuring consistent and predictable performance. The kit can be used as a precision shooting instrument and is suitable for competitions as it provides uniformity and resultant predictability.

Problems solved by technology

One pea may barely fit within the peashooter so that it may get stuck within the peashooter.
In such situations, the trajectory of the pea is very unpredictable because of the reactions between the air streams going straight through the tube and those that are used to propel the small pea.

Embodiment Construction

[0016]Referring to FIG. 1, kit 10 of the present invention is shown. This rendering is not to scale. For clarity, opening diameter 20 and BB diameter 24 are shown large enough that it is unwieldy to show length 22 of tube 16 to scale. Kit 10 includes peashooter 12 and at least one BB 14. Peashooter 12 is made up of a plastic tube 16. Tube 16 has opening 18 around which is tube thickness 28. Tube thickness 28 is preferably between 1 and 2 mm. Opening 18 has opening diameter 20 and tube 16 has length 22. Opening diameter 20 is preferably 0.240 inches, but may range from any diameter greater than BB diameter 24, as discussed below, to 0.400 inches. Length 22 of tube 16 is preferably 12 inches, but may range between 6 and 18 inches. Logo 26 may be disposed upon tube 16.

[0017]BB 14 has BB diameter 24, which is always less than opening diameter 20. Preferred BB diameter 24 is 0.236 inches, but may be any diameter so long as it is less than opening diameter 20. BB diameter 24 is preferably...

Abstract

A kit for shooting a BB through a peashooter, comprising a tubular peashooter with an opening in the tube that has an opening diameter, inner and outer walls, a tube thickness, and a tube length, and a BB with a BB diameter.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to peashooters, and in particular, to a novel projectile for use with a peashooter.BACKGROUND[0002]A peashooter is a toy version of a blowgun or blowpipe. It is used as follows: A projectile, usually a dried pea, seed, or spitball, is loaded into one end of a generally 8 inch tube, the other end of which is blown through forcefully by the user. The force of the air launches the projectile, which may be sent in any direction by positioning of the tube. Peashooters have long been a favorite of both children and young at heart adults, but the types of ammunition heretofore used are limited. Moreover, as most of this ammunition is irregular in shape, the trajectory of the projectile may be difficult to anticipate, making aiming difficult. Therefore there is a need for a new type of peashooter ammunition that is regular in shape and smooth.[0003]Pea shooting is a competitive sport, notably in the United Kingdom. In such competitio...
