Abstract
A toy weapon firing a shapeless solid charge includes a reciprocating air pump and an extruder including a reservoir of the shapeless flowable solid material. A tubular nozzle member is mounted on the outlet end of the air pump and includes a transversely extending nipple providing a fluid coupling with the outlet of the extruder. A portion of the housing is configured to form a hand grip while a separate hand grip is coupled with the air pump piston to permit reciprocation of the air pump piston by reciprocating the hand grip portions towards one another and away from one another. The extruder may be operated separately from the air pump or linked with the air pump for simultaneous operation to feed a charge of the shapeless, flowable solid material into the nozzle member before or while the air pump is reciprocated.
