Abstract
An action toy system including a capsule for containing water having an orifice and a plunger and a spring loaded mechanism for driving the water from the orifice. The action toy may be configured as a shotgun accepting a plurality of prefilled shell capsules into its breechblock for firing through its barrel. It may also be configured as a missile launcher in which the capsules are mounted to the front of the launcher and the water is ejected directly from the capsule against the target. In yet another embodiment, the invention is configured as a crossbow with the bow loading the spring-loaded mechanism and a water stream obtained on release of the bow. In a still further embodiment, the action toy is fitted with a double feature nozzle for either producing a stream of water or propelling an object.
