Spitball gun for use with paper ammunition
Described is a spitball gun that is operable for collecting, wetting, and projecting paper ammunitions. The spitball gun includes a paper advancing chamber having an opening for receiving paper ammunition and an advancing mechanism for advancing paper through the paper advancing chamber to a loading chamber. A water tank is also connected with the loading chamber. An indexing lever is used to cause paper to be pulled through the paper advancing mechanism while water is released onto the paper from the water tank. A firing pin handle with a connected paper cutter is used to cut the paper and load the paper into the loading chamber. Finally, air from an attached air tank is used to expel a wetted paper wad from the loading chamber and through the barrel of the spitball gun.
1. A spitball gun for use with paper ammunition, comprising:
a paper advancing chamber having an opening for receiving paper ammunition and an advancing mechanism for advancing paper through the paper advancing chamber;
a loading chamber for receiving paper from the paper advancing chamber;
an air tank fluidly connected with the loading chamber;
a barrel connected with the loading chamber, whereby paper loaded into the loading chamber is expelled from the barrel by air from the air tank;
a water tank fluidly connected with the loading chamber, the water tank having a water release mechanism; and
an indexing lever operably connected with the advancing mechanism and the water release mechanism, such that motion of the indexing lever causes paper to be pulled through the paper advancing mechanism while water is released onto the paper from the water tank.
2. The spitball gun as set forth in claim 1 , further comprising a paper cutter housed within the spitball gun, the paper cutter positioned proximate the loading chamber to cut paper as loaded into the loading chamber.
3. The spitball gun as set forth in claim 2 , further comprising a firing pin handle, the firing pin handle having an elongated cylinder attached thereto, with a distal end of the elongated cylinder operating as a loading plunger, such that sliding the firing pin handle forward cuts a piece of paper and, via the loading plunger, forces the paper into the loading chamber.
4. The spitball gun as set forth in claim 3 , wherein the paper cutter is operably connected with the firing pin handle such that motion of the firing pin handle causes the paper cutter to slide into a cutting position.
5. The spitball gun as set forth in claim 4 , wherein the elongated cylinder is spring loaded and further comprises a proximal end terminating with an air plunger.
6. The spitball gun as set forth in claim 5 , wherein the air plunger extends into the air tank and is lockable into a spring-compressed position, such that upon release, the air plunger slides forward to force a paper wad from the barrel.
