Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a magazine, a gas containing member, and a toy gun. [Background technology]

[0002] Among the toy guns (such as airsoft guns) currently on the market, those that use liquefied gas are used by filling a part called a magazine with liquefied gas along with bullets (such as BB bullets).

[0003] The liquefied gas filled inside the magazine boils at the outside air temperature and becomes pressurized gas. The toy gun described above uses this gas to fire bullets with force, and can reproduce the same action as a real gun but more safely than a real gun.

[0004] For example, the following Patent Document 1 discloses a toy gun in which a constant amount of gas is ejected when a normally closed valve is opened by operating a trigger, and a bullet is fired from a gun barrel by this ejected gas. More specifically, Patent Document 1 discloses that the magazine includes a magazine section that stores many bullets, a constant pressure storage chamber filled with compressed gas, and a gas generation source (liquefied gas cylinder) that constantly supplies gas to the constant pressure storage chamber. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 62-29596 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, the above-mentioned toy guns using liquefied gas have a problem in that the momentum of the shot becomes unstable due to repeated firing and the outside air temperature.

[0007] That is, with each shot, the magazine cools down through evaporative cooling, which makes it harder to provide the heat needed to boil the liquefied gas, causing the momentum of the shot to weaken with each shot, and eventually the liquefied gas may not boil and the shot may become impossible to fire.

[0008] Furthermore, when the outside air temperature is low, it is difficult to supply the heat required to boil the liquefied gas, and the force of the launch also depends on the outside air temperature.

[0009] In order to solve the problems of evaporative cooling caused by repeated firing and the impact of outside air temperature on the firing momentum, it is conceivable to use compressed gas (such as air, hereafter referred to as compressed gas) instead of liquefied gas. This makes it possible to suppress the weakening of firing momentum due to evaporative cooling caused by repeated firing and the cooling of the magazine caused by low outside air temperature, which makes it difficult to supply the heat required to boil the liquefied gas.

[0010] On the other hand, in order to use such compressed gas in a toy gun, a larger filling volume is required compared to liquefied gas. For this reason, a toy gun using compressed gas must have a tank outside the toy gun that has a volume much larger than the volume of the chamber that contains the liquefied gas. More specifically, it is necessary to attach joints, tubes, etc. to the outside of the magazine to be attached to the toy gun and connect it to the tank.

[0011] The method of connecting to the tank provided outside the toy gun is also called the external source method, while the method of filling the magazine with liquefied gas is also called the liquid charge method, and the two are distinguished from each other.

[0012] As mentioned above, the advantage of the external source method is that the momentum of the launch is less affected by factors such as evaporative cooling and outside air temperature.

[0013] On the other hand, the disadvantage of the external source method is that it requires a tank for storing compressed gas outside the toy gun, and the tank and the magazine are connected via a tube or the like, which is a significant deviation from the reproduction of a real gun.

[0014] One example of an object of the present invention is to provide a toy gun, a gas containing member, and a magazine that improve the reproducibility of a real gun. [Means for solving the problem]

[0015] The method of changing magazines differs between the external source system and the liquid charge system. More specifically, when changing magazines with the liquid charge system, a button called a magazine catch is pressed to remove the magazine from the gun body and then a new magazine is attached to the gun body.

[0016] On the other hand, in the external source method, when changing a magazine, the shooter first removes the tube connecting the magazine to the tank. Next, the shooter removes the magazine from the gun body and attaches a new magazine to the gun body. Then, the shooter attaches a tube to the new magazine and connects it to the tank.

[0017] In this way, the external source system requires more steps to change the magazine compared to liquid charge systems and real guns, so the time it takes to change the magazine increases significantly. And in the toy gun industry, it was common knowledge that the time it takes to change the magazine with the external source system was long.

[0018] However, the inventor of the present invention found a new problem of shortening the time it takes to change a magazine even with an external source system in order to make the behavior of the toy gun closer to that of a real gun. As a result of intensive efforts to solve the problem, the inventor of the present invention found that the problem can be solved by providing a gas containing member for containing gas in the toy gun in addition to the magazine, and thus completed the present invention.

[0019] The invention described in claim 1 is A magazine for storing bullets, which is detachable from a toy gun having a mechanism for firing bullets by using gas supplied from an outside, comprising: the toy gun further includes a detachable gas containing member for containing the gas, In a state in which the gas containing member and the magazine are attached to the toy gun, the magazine holds the gas containing member.

[0020] The invention described in claim 8 is A gas containing member for containing gas supplied from an outside of a toy gun having a mechanism for firing a bullet using gas, comprising: the gas containing member and a magazine containing the bullets are detachably attached to the toy gun, In a state in which the gas containing member and the magazine are attached to the toy gun, the gas containing member is held by the magazine.

[0021] The invention described in claim 15 is A toy gun equipped with the magazine according to claim 1 or 2 and the gas containing member according to claim 8 or 9. Effect of the Invention

[0022] According to the present invention, the toy gun, the gas containing member, and the magazine can improve the reproducibility of a real gun. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0024] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In all the drawings, the same components are given the same reference numerals, and the description will be omitted as appropriate. In this embodiment, the toy gun 10 refers to the gun body, and refers to the state before the gas containing member 20 and the magazine 30 are attached.

[0025] <Embodiment> (Toy Gun 10) FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an outline of a toy gun 10 according to an embodiment. The toy gun 10 has a mechanism for firing a bullet 40 using gas supplied from outside the toy gun 10. The gas is compressed gas, such as air, carbon dioxide, fluorocarbon gas, and nitrogen. DR1 in FIG. 1 indicates the up-down direction. Note that FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a plane perpendicular to the thickness direction (depth direction of the paper) of the toy gun 10 and including the center line of the muzzle (the same applies to FIG. 6 and subsequent figures).

[0026] The toy gun 10 includes a hammer section 11, a magazine catch section 12, a knocker 13, a grip section 14, a trigger 15, an insertion section 16, a main body mounting hole 17, and a hammer mechanism section 18. The functions of each section will be described later.

[0027] The grip portion 14 is a portion that the shooter holds with his / her hand. An insertion portion 16 is formed in the grip portion 14. The insertion portion 16 has a case-shaped space.

[0028] The gas containing member 20 and the magazine 30 are detachably attached to the toy gun 10. The gas containing member 20 and the magazine 30 can be attached to the toy gun 10.

[0029] A body mounting hole 17 is formed in the toy gun 10. The body mounting hole 17 penetrates the toy gun 10 in the thickness direction. The body mounting hole 17 overlaps with a mounting hole 26 of the gas containing member 20, which will be described later.

[0030] (Gas containing member 20) Fig. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example of the gas containing member 20 according to the embodiment. Fig. 3 is a schematic perspective view showing an example of the gas containing member 20 according to the embodiment. The gas containing member 20 will be described with reference to Figs. 2 and 3. The gas containing member 20 contains gas supplied from outside the toy gun 10.

[0031] The gas accommodating member 20 includes a gas accommodating section 21 that accommodates compressed gas, and a valve section 25. The gas accommodating section 21 is configured to be able to hermetically seal the compressed gas. A case-shaped space is formed inside the gas accommodating section 21.

[0032] The valve section 25 has a valve 25a and a valve hole 25b. The valve 25a is normally closed. The valve 25a opens when struck by a knocker 13, which will be described later. The valve hole 25b is a hole for installing the valve 25a. The valve hole 25b is connected to the internal space of the gas accommodating section 21. When the valve 25a is provided in the valve hole 25b, the valve hole 25b is blocked, and an airtight space is formed inside the gas accommodating section 21.

[0033] In the embodiment, the gas storage section 21 (gas storage member 20) is made of resin, for example, nylon.

[0034] The gas containing member 20 has a gas supply port 22 through which gas is supplied. The gas supply port 22 includes a supply hole 22a and a flat portion 22b. In the embodiment, the supply hole 22a has a circular shape.

[0035] The flat surface 22b constitutes the flat surface of the outlet of the gas supply port 22, and a supply hole 22a is formed in the flat surface 22b. The supply hole 22a is connected to a gas supply unit 50, which will be described later. Compressed gas is supplied to the supply hole 22a from a tank provided outside the toy gun 10.

[0036] In the embodiment, the gas containing member 20 further includes a grip portion 24. The grip portion 24 grips the toy gun 10 in a state in which the magazine 30 and the gas containing member 20 are attached to the toy gun 10. The grip portion 24 is a portion that attaches the gas containing member 20 to the toy gun 10.

[0037] The grip portion 24 includes a storage portion 24c (spring housing). A cylindrical space is formed inside the storage portion 24c. The storage portion 24c stores the elastic portion 24a. The elastic portion 24a is, for example, a spring. The elastic portion 24a is a portion that contributes to a mechanism for firing the bullet 40. The elastic portion 24a is a portion that functions when firing the bullet 40. Specifically, the elastic portion 24a is connected to a hammer mechanism portion 18 described later, and is interlocked with the hammer portion 11.

[0038] The gas storage unit 21 faces the storage unit 24c. A gap 24b is formed between the storage unit 24c and the gas storage unit 21.

[0039] The gripping portion 24 (storage portion 24c) includes a lower surface portion 24e facing downward. The lower surface portion 24e is also the bottom surface of the storage portion 24c. In the cross section of the gas storage member 20 shown in Fig. 2, the center line C of the gas supply port 22 (supply hole 22a) is inclined with respect to the direction DR2 in which the lower surface portion 24e extends. In the embodiment, the angle α between the center line C and the direction DR2 in which the lower surface portion 24e extends is preferably 30° or more and 70° or less.

[0040] An attachment hole 26 is formed in the gas containing member 20. The attachment hole 26 penetrates the gas containing member 20 in the thickness direction.

[0041] (Pressing portion 23) The gas containing member 20 further includes a pressing portion 23. The pressing portion 23 includes an elastic portion 23a, a pin 23b, and a hole portion 23c. The elastic portion 23a is, for example, a spring. The hole portion 23c is a hole that stores the elastic portion 23a and is a cylindrical space. The hole portion 23c stores at least a part of the pin 23b. The pin 23b is provided below the elastic portion 23a. When the gas containing member 20 is removed from the toy gun 10, the pin 23b protrudes outside the hole portion 23c (protrudes from the hole portion 23c).

[0042] (30 magazines) FIG. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example of the magazine 30 according to the embodiment. FIG. 5 is a schematic perspective view showing an example of the magazine 30 according to the embodiment. The magazine 30 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. The magazine 30 and the gas containing member 20 are not integral with each other but are configured as separate members. The magazine 30 contains bullets 40. The magazine 30 includes a member containing section 31, a bullet storage section 32, and an elastic section 33. The magazine 30 is formed with a cutout section 60. A protrusion provided on a magazine catch section 12 described later engages with the cutout section 60 by the force of a spring.

[0043] The bullet storage section 32 stores bullets 40 in a line. When the bullet storage section 32 is loaded with the bullets 40, the elastic section 33 (spring) is compressed and presses the bullets 40. Note that a part called a follower for pressing the bullets 40 may be provided between the elastic section 33 and the bullets 40.

[0044] The component accommodating section 31 has a case-like shape. The component accommodating section 31 includes a bottom section 35, a pair of side wall sections 36, and a connecting section 37. The bottom section 35 forms the bottom portion of the component accommodating section 31. The pair of side wall sections 36 extend upward (stand up) from the bottom section 35. The side wall sections 36 extend relative to the bottom section 35 in the direction in which the wall section 16a extends (see FIG. 1).

[0045] The connecting portion 37 connects the pair of side wall portions 36. In the embodiment, the connecting portion 37 forms the back surface of the member accommodating portion 31. The connecting portion 37 extends in the direction in which the wall portion 16a extends (see FIG. 1).

[0046] The slit 38 is formed in a portion facing the connecting portion 37. The slit 38 is a space formed between the ends of the pair of side wall portions 36. The member accommodating portion 31 is opened due to the provision of the slit 38.

[0047] In the embodiment, the member accommodating portion 31 further includes a facing portion 34. The facing portion 34 faces the connecting portion 37. In the embodiment, a slit 38 is formed by cutting out a part of the facing portion 34.

[0048] The member accommodating portion 31 further includes a protruding portion 39 protruding from the bottom portion 35. In the embodiment, the protruding portion 39 is pedestal-shaped and has a flat surface facing upward.

[0049] The member storage section 31 is made of resin. The resin is, for example, nylon, resin, or ABS resin. The weight of the magazine 30 is, for example, not limited to, 70 g or more and 150 g or less.

[0050] 6 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a state in which the gas containing member 20 is attached to the toy gun 10 according to the embodiment. When the gas containing member 20 is attached to the toy gun 10, the wall portion 16a is sandwiched and held between the storage portion 24c and the gas containing portion 21, and the wall portion 16a is inserted into the gap 24b.

[0051] Further, a gas supply unit 50 is attached to the gas accommodating member 20. The gas supply unit 50 supplies compressed gas (air, carbon dioxide, fluorocarbon gas, nitrogen, etc.) to the gas accommodating member 20. The gas supply unit 50 includes a connection unit 51, a tube unit 52, and a tank (not shown).

[0052] The connecting part 51 is attached to the gas supply port 22 (supply hole 22a). The connecting part 51 is inserted into the supply hole 22a and connects the gas supply port 22 and the tube part 52. As a result, a tank (not shown) outside the toy gun 10 and the gas containing member 20 are connected via the tube part 52.

[0053] By connecting the tube portion 52 and the connecting portion 51 to the gas supply port 22 (gas containing member 20), compressed gas flows into the gas containing member 20 from outside the toy gun 10, but the compressed gas does not flow to the upper part of the toy gun 10 because the flow path leading from the gas containing portion 21 to the valve hole 25b is closed by the valve 25a.

[0054] In FIG. 6, the main body mounting hole 17 and the mounting hole 26 overlap each other, and for example, a pin is inserted into the main body mounting hole 17 and the mounting hole 26 to prevent the gas containing member 20 from coming off the toy gun 10.

[0055] 7 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an outline of a state in which the magazine 30 and the gas containing member 20 are attached to the toy gun 10 according to the embodiment. The magazine 30 and the gas containing member 20 are attached to the toy gun 10 shown in FIG.

[0056] When the magazine 30 is attached to the toy gun 10, the pin 23b is pressed against the magazine 30 (projection 39) as the magazine 30 is inserted into the toy gun 10. This action causes the elastic portion 23a to compress.

[0057] When the magazine 30 is further inserted into the toy gun 10, a protrusion (biased by a spring) on ​​the magazine catch portion 12 engages with the cutout portion 60, and the magazine 30 is fixed to the toy gun 10 (the magazine 30 cannot be removed from the toy gun 10).

[0058] Due to the biasing force of the compressed elastic portion 23a, the magazine 30 attempts to be ejected from the inside of the toy gun 10 to the outside, but since the above-mentioned convex portion and the cutout portion 60 are engaged, the magazine 30 is not ejected to the outside of the toy gun 10.

[0059] When the magazine 30 and the gas containing member 20 are attached to the toy gun 10, the pressing portion 23 presses the magazine 30 (protruding portion 39) in a direction away from the gas containing member 20 (arrow B in FIG. 7).

[0060] The protruding portion 39 is pressed by the pressing portion 23 (pin 23b) when the gas containing member 20 and the magazine 30 are attached to the toy gun 10. When the gas containing member 20 and the magazine 30 are attached to the toy gun 10, the elastic portion 23a is compressed and presses the pin 23b in the direction of the arrow B in FIG.

[0061] When the magazine 30 and the gas containing member 20 are attached to the toy gun 10, the gas supply port 22 is provided below the toy gun 10. More specifically, when the magazine 30 and the gas containing member 20 are attached to the toy gun 10, the supply hole 22a is provided below the lower end of the grip portion 14 in the direction of arrow B in FIG.

[0062] Fig. 8 is a schematic perspective view showing an example of the magazine 30 and the gas containing member 20 attached to the toy gun 10 according to the embodiment. The magazine 30 and the gas containing member 20 in Fig. 8 are shown in a state where they are attached to the toy gun 10 (the toy gun 10 is not shown).

[0063] When the gas accommodating member 20 and the magazine 30 are attached to the toy gun 10, the gas accommodating member 20 is held in the magazine 30 (the magazine 30 holds the gas accommodating member 20). The magazine 30 holds the gas accommodating member 20 in between. More specifically, the gas accommodating member 20 (gas accommodating section 21) is held by being sandwiched between a pair of side wall sections 36. The magazine 30 also houses the gas accommodating member 20. More specifically, the gas accommodating member 20 (gas accommodating section 21) is housed in a space formed inside the member accommodating section 31.

[0064] The member accommodating portion 31 accommodates at least a portion of the gas accommodating member 20. When the gas accommodating member 20 and the magazine 30 are attached to the toy gun 10, at least a portion of the gas accommodating member 20 is fitted and accommodated in the member accommodating portion 31. In the embodiment, the storage portion 24c protrudes from the member accommodating portion 31. In addition, the gas accommodating member 20 is inserted into the member accommodating portion 31 via a slit 38.

[0065] FIG. 9 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an outline of the toy gun 10 in a state where a bullet 40 is loaded. The hammer portion 11 of the toy gun 10 is configured to be rotatable in an arc shape around a certain point. In the embodiment, the bullet 40 is prepared for firing by rotating the hammer portion 11 clockwise. Specifically, when the hammer portion 11 is operated (tilted in a clockwise direction), the bullet 40 loaded in the magazine 30 is moved to a firing position (see bullet 40a) by a loading mechanism provided in the toy gun 10, and the gun is prepared for firing. When the hammer portion 11 is operated (tilted in a clockwise direction), the elastic portion 24a is pressed through the hammer mechanism portion 18, and the elastic portion 24a is compressed.

[0066] FIG. 10 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an outline of a state when a bullet 40 is fired. When a shooter operates (pulls) the trigger 15, the hammer 11 is rotated vigorously counterclockwise by the trigger mechanism of the toy gun 10. Then, the rotated hammer 11 strikes the cylindrical knocker 13 vigorously. Then, the knocker 13 strikes the valve 25a, which opens the valve 25a (A in the figure). When the valve 25a is opened, the compressed gas stored in the gas storage section 21 flows upward (towards the barrel) of the toy gun 10, and the bullet 40b is fired vigorously from the barrel of the toy gun 10 by the gas that has flowed in. At this time, the elastic section 24a is released from the pressure from the hammer mechanism section 18.

[0067] 11 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an outline of removing the magazine 30 from the toy gun 10. As firing is repeated, the number of bullets 40 in the magazine 30 decreases with each firing, and eventually the magazine 30 runs out of bullets 40 and is no longer able to fire. In that case, a new magazine 30 loaded with bullets 40 is inserted into the toy gun 10 to return it to a state where it can be fired again.

[0068] When removing the magazine 30 from the toy gun 10, the magazine catch portion 12 is pushed down to remove the magazine 30. Specifically, when the magazine catch portion 12 is pushed down, the engagement between the convex portion of the magazine catch portion 12 and the notch portion 60 is released, and the magazine 30 becomes movable downward (in the direction of the arrow B in FIG. 11).

[0069] Furthermore, the elastic portion 23a is released from the pressure from the magazine 30 (the protruding portion 39) and pushes the pin 23b in the direction in which the magazine 30 moves away from the gas containing member 20 (the direction of the arrow B in FIG. 11). Then, the pin 23b kicks the magazine 30 (the protruding portion 39) with force in the direction in which the magazine 30 moves away from the gas containing member 20 (the direction of the arrow B in FIG. 11). The pin 23b pushes the magazine 30 (the protruding portion 39) in the direction in which the magazine 30 moves away from the gas containing member 20 (the direction of the arrow B in FIG. 11). The magazine 30 slides along the inner wall of the grip portion 14 (along the shape of the gas containing member 20 (gas containing portion 21)), moves in the direction of the arrow B, and falls toward the ground. In this manner, the magazine 30 is removed from the toy gun 10.

[0070] (Action and effect) As described above, according to the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7 , the magazine 30 is detachably attached to the toy gun 10, and the gas containing member 20 is further detachably attached to the toy gun 10, and when the gas containing member 20 and the magazine 30 are attached to the toy gun 10, the magazine 30 holds the gas containing member 20.

[0071] In the conventional external source system, a storage section that stores compressed gas (pressurized gas) exists inside the magazine (there is no component equivalent to the gas storage member of this embodiment), and a fitting and a tube are attached to the magazine to connect the magazine to an externally located tank (containing compressed gas).

[0072] Therefore, in a magazine change in the conventional external source system, the shooter first removes the tube connecting the magazine and the tank, then removes the magazine from the gun body and attaches a new magazine to the gun body. Next, the shooter needs to attach a tube to the newly attached magazine and connect the magazine to the tank. Therefore, in a magazine change in the external source system, compared to a liquid charge system that does not require the removal and attachment of a tube, the number of steps in the magazine change increases, and the time required for magazine change is significantly increased. More specifically, for an experienced shooter, the time required for magazine change in the liquid charge system is usually about 3 seconds, but the time required for magazine change in the external source system is, for example, 15 seconds or more.

[0073] However, in this embodiment, the gas containing member 20 is provided separately from the magazine 30, and compressed gas is supplied from the outside to the gas containing member 20. This eliminates the need to take the trouble of removing the gas supply unit 50 (tube unit 52) ​​when replacing the magazine 30, and therefore the speed of magazine replacement is significantly improved even in the case of the external source system.

[0074] In changing the magazine of a real gun, there is no need to remove or reconnect the tube, and it was difficult to reproduce the operation of a real gun with the conventional external source method. However, by adopting this embodiment, it is no longer necessary to remove the tube, and the speed of changing the magazine is significantly improved. Therefore, it is possible to improve the reproducibility of the real gun.

[0075] Furthermore, in the conventional external source method, a pressure loss of the compressed gas contained in the magazine occurs every time a tube or a joint (coupler) is replaced when replacing a magazine. However, in the present embodiment, since there is no need to replace a tube when replacing a magazine, the pressure loss of the compressed gas can also be suppressed. Therefore, when using a tank with the same filling amount, the upper limit of the number of times that the bullet can be fired is significantly increased. Furthermore, the gas containing member 20 and the magazine 30 according to the embodiment are configured to be able to be attached to an existing toy gun. Therefore, there is no need to manufacture a dedicated toy gun corresponding to the gas containing member 20 and the magazine 30, and the user does not need to take the trouble of purchasing the dedicated toy gun. Therefore, the usability is excellent.

[0076] Furthermore, the gas containing member 20 is provided with a pressing portion 23 that presses the magazine 30 in a direction away from the gas containing member 20 when the magazine 30 and the gas containing member 20 are attached to the toy gun 10. As a result, when the magazine catch portion 12 is pressed to replace the magazine 30, the magazine 30 is forcefully ejected outside the toy gun 10.

[0077] In a real gun, a bullet larger than that of a toy gun is supplied from the magazine to the gun body, and therefore a stronger spring is provided to push up the bullet. The pushing force caused by the spring is very large, and when the magazine catch of the real gun is operated to replace the magazine, the spring not only pushes up the bullet, but also ejects the magazine forcefully from the gun body. However, a toy gun has not had the same function as a real gun, that of ejecting the magazine forcefully.

[0078] However, in this embodiment, since the gas containing member 20 is provided with the pressing portion 23, when the magazine catch portion 12 is pressed to replace the magazine 30, the magazine 30 is forcefully ejected to the outside of the toy gun 10. Therefore, the operation of a real gun can be effectively reproduced.

[0079] In conventional gas blowback guns, a chamber for storing liquefied gas is provided in the magazine, and it was not possible to introduce a mechanism equivalent to the pressing unit 23 of this embodiment. However, the pressing unit 23 of this embodiment makes it possible to provide the shooter with an experience (an experience just like a real gun, in which the magazine 30 is forcefully ejected from the toy gun 10) that could not be experienced with conventional gas blowback guns (liquid charge type). In this embodiment, the magazine is ejected forcefully like a real gun, and it is safe even if the magazine is dropped, so that even with a toy gun, the same magazine change technique as with a real gun can be used. Therefore, the magazine change technique similar to that of a real gun can be learned with a toy gun (airsoft gun).

[0080] Furthermore, in a state where the gas containing member 20 and the magazine 30 are attached to the toy gun 10, at least a portion of the gas containing member 20 is fitted and accommodated in the member accommodating portion 31. This allows the gas containing member 20 to be effectively accommodated in the magazine 30. Therefore, the gas containing member 20 and the magazine 30 can be effectively attached to the toy gun 10.

[0081] Furthermore, a slit 38 is formed in the portion facing the connecting portion 37. This allows the gas containing member 20 to be contained in the magazine 30 more effectively.

[0082] Furthermore, the protruding portion 39 is pressed by the pressing portion 23 when the gas containing member 20 and the magazine 30 are attached to the toy gun 10. This allows the gas to be more effectively discharged to the outside of the toy gun 10 when the magazine is replaced.

[0083] Furthermore, the member accommodating portion 31 is made of resin. As a result, for example, when the magazine 30 is manufactured using a 3D printer, a mold is not required, and therefore manufacturing costs can be reduced.

[0084] Furthermore, by constructing the member storage section 31 from resin, the magazine 30 can be made lighter. The magazine used in the liquid charge method has a side as a pressure vessel in order to fill the inside with liquefied gas, and is usually made of metal. For this reason, it is much heavier than the magazine of a real gun, and there is a risk of serious injury if the magazine falls due to careless handling, so it has required careful handling. However, by constructing the member storage section 31 from resin, it can be made lighter, so it can be made to have almost the same mass as the magazine of a real gun. Furthermore, there is no risk of serious injury even if the magazine falls, and special care is not required in handling it. As a result, the magazine 30 can be easily dropped to the ground when replacing the magazine. Therefore, it can be operated in the same way as a magazine of a real gun, and the reproducibility of the real gun can be improved.

[0085] Furthermore, the weight of the magazine 30 is between 70 g and 150 g. By making the magazine 30 approximately the same mass as a magazine of a real gun, the reproducibility of the real gun can be improved.

[0086] As described above, according to the embodiment, in a state in which the gas containing member 20 and the magazine 30 are attached to the toy gun 10, the gas containing member 20 is held by the magazine 30. By adopting this embodiment, as described above, it is possible to improve the reproducibility of a real gun.

[0087] Furthermore, the gas containing member 20 is provided with a pressing portion 23. This makes it possible to effectively reproduce the operation of a real gun.

[0088] Furthermore, when the magazine 30 and the gas containing member 20 are attached to the toy gun 10, the gas supply port 22 is provided below the toy gun 10. This prevents the gas supply port 22 from overlapping with the grip portion 14. Therefore, even when the shooter grips the grip portion 14, the shooter's hand does not collide with the gas supply port 22. This reduces the awkwardness felt when the shooter grips the grip portion 14.

[0089] 2, the center line C of the gas supply port 22 is inclined with respect to the direction DR2 in which the lower surface portion 24e extends. This effectively reduces the discomfort felt by the shooter when gripping the grip portion 14.

[0090] The grip portion 24 houses an elastic portion 24a which contributes to a mechanism for firing the bullet 40. In the embodiment, the gas containing member 20 is a member manufactured for various existing toy guns 10. By providing the gas containing member 20 (the grip portion 24) with a storage portion 24c for storing the elastic portion 24a, it is possible to manufacture a gas containing member 20 compatible with an existing toy gun 10.

[0091] The gas containing portion 21 is made of resin. As a result, for example, when manufacturing the magazine 30 using a 3D printer, a mold is not required, and manufacturing costs can be reduced. Furthermore, the gas containing member 20 can be made lighter. As a result, the gas containing member 20 can be made to have approximately the same mass as the magazine of a real gun. Therefore, the reproducibility of the real gun can be improved.

[0092] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, these are merely examples of the present invention, and various configurations other than those described above can also be adopted.

[0093] The gas containing member 20 and the magazine 30 may be manufactured by any method, for example, using a 3D printer.

[0094] The magazine 30 and the gas containing member 20 are manufactured to fit various toy guns 10. The shapes of the magazine 30 and the gas containing member 20 and the method of attaching them to the toy gun 10 vary depending on the model of the toy gun 10.

[0095] The component storage section 31 may be made of metal. The magazine of a real gun is mainly made of metal. Therefore, the feel of the magazine and the sound when the magazine 30 is dropped to the ground are closer to those of a real gun. Therefore, by making the component storage section 31 (magazine 30) out of metal, the reproducibility of a real gun can be improved. Furthermore, opinions may differ depending on the customer as to whether a light or heavy magazine is better. By being able to choose whether the component storage section 31 (magazine 30) is made of metal or resin, it is possible to meet various customer demands.

[0096] The gas storage unit 21 may also be made of metal. Compressed gas (pressurized gas) is stored inside the gas storage unit 21, and by making the gas storage unit 21 out of metal, the gas storage member 20 can be made sturdy, improving safety. Furthermore, as described above, the gas storage unit 21 (gas storage member 20) can be selected to be made of metal or resin, making it possible to meet various customer needs.
