Abstract
A system and method for a motorized repeating toy gun. The toy gun includes a base having a first end and a second end upon which elastic rings are stretched and mounted. The toy gun also includes a motor and a spool. The spool has a wrapping portion, is rotatably mounted on the base and is rotatably responsive to the motor. Additionally, the toy gun includes a string. A first portion of the string is positioned around the wrapping portion. A second portion of the string is interwovenly positioned between the second end and each of the elastic rings. The string forcibly wrapped around the spool in response to the operation of the motor, causing the elastic rings to dismount from the second end. Elastic rings, e.g., rubber bands, are loaded onto a base, e.g., a magazine, by stretching each rubber band over the extremities of the base with the string interwovenly placed between the base and the rubber band, such that when the string is pulled toward the spool the rubber band is moved over one of the base extremities and is discharged. The user activates a trigger mechanism that employs a motor to automatically rotate a spool. One end of the string is securely attached to the spool. W…
