Abstract
A toy projectile apparatus which simply yet uniquely employs inertia, a weighted mass to trip a release point trigger release mechanism, and a safety mechanism latched to the weighted mass structure for releasing the mass to trigger shooting of the projectiles. The weighted mass cooperates with a release point trigger release mechanism which includes a trigger linkage and a release point element. The weighted mass will advance/shift/move with the trigger linkage toward a release point element when a force of a certain acceleration is applied to the projectile apparatus by a user.
