Abstract
Projectile loading systems for toy launchers that discharge soft spherical, but tacky, projectiles, the loading systems including a projectile hopper for storing the projectiles, a chute at the bottom of the hopper, the chute having a central groove for lining the projectiles in a single file, an agitator in the hopper for disturbing the tacky projectiles in the hopper to separate them, and a projectile transfer structure for carrying a projectile, one at a time, from the chute to a breech or from a feed track during respective priming cycles.
