Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure may include either a hand held rifle batter powered device useful with either a basic or complex design for shooting spherical projectiles and bullets including metal spheres, rubber spheres, paint balls, nerf spheres, and the like which may include a barrel, an ammunition firing chamber, a trigger, an ammunition trap door (for the basic design), a trigger guard, an electrical on off switch, two motors, electrical wiring, battery cases, two spinning wheels, a grip handle, an ammunition magazine (including an electrical conveyor belt for the complex design), and a stock (for the rifle version).

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A device useful for shooting projectiles including bullets, paint balls, rubber bullets and the like which comprises:
 a) a barrel, having an entrance and an exit with a hollow interior portion;   b) a firing chamber attached to the barrel at the barrel's entrance;   c) two spinning wheels attached to the firing chamber, where the spinning wheels are spinning towards the barrel, and where the spinning wheels can come in contact with ammo that is in the interior of the firing chamber imparting force onto the ammo, and sending it down the length of the barrel;   d) motors that power the spinning wheels;   e) an on off switch that turns the motors on and off;   f) battery(ies) to power the motors;   g) electrical wiring that carries electricity from the batteries to the motors, and which is connected to the on off switch, so that electricity can be stopped from being delivered to the motors;   h) an ammo magazine to hold the ammo;   i) a trigger mechanism that reliably enables ammo to move from the ammo magazine into the firing chamber. Depending on the version of the device, the trigger mechanism may rely on gravity and or springs, and or a conveyor cylinder, and or trap door to allow ammo to pass from the ammo magazine into the firing chamber;   j) a grip handle, shoulder stock, and a barrel from which to shoot projectiles.   
     
     
         2 . A device according to  claim 1  where the device can be held in the hand with a grip handle, and with a relatively short barrel. 
     
     
         3 . A device according to  claim 1  where the device can be held against the shoulder with a stock, and with a relatively long barrel. 
     
     
         4 . A device according to  claim 1  where the motors are situated to minimize paint accumulation, and where the motors can be easily removed and cleaned. 
     
     
         5 . A device according to  claim 1  wherein velocitizing means rotate at any velocity sufficient and or necessary to propel the ammo at rate to achieve the devices desired usage. 
     
     
         6 . A device according to  claim 1  wherein the barrel may have any diameter sufficient and or necessary to propel the ammo at rate to achieve the devices desired usage. 
     
     
         7 . A device according to  claim 1  wherein the spinning wheels may be in a side-by-side configuration. 
     
     
         8 . A device according to  claim 1  wherein the spinning wheels may be in an over-and-under configuration. 
     
     
         9 . A device according to  claim 1  wherein the device for launching projectiles is microprocessor controlled.
