3. A toy gun according to claim 2 , wherein a contacting end ( 14 ) of said dart sensor lever ( 4 ) is linked with said transmission element ( 3 ); while a corresponding free end ( 15 ) is drooping at the position of a dart head in a dart station close to a shell ( 1 ).
4. A toy gun according to claim 3 , wherein said shell ejecting mechanism also comprises a stopper ( 12 ).
5. A toy gun according to claim 4 , wherein said stopper ( 12 ) is positioned between said ejector control lever ( 7 ) and said second linkage ( 5 ), and is connected with said second linkage ( 5 ) so that the position of said stopper ( 12 ) is controlled by said second linkage ( 5 ).
6. A toy gun according to claim 1 , wherein said shell ejecting mechanism also comprises a reset spring ( 17 ); one end of said reset spring ( 17 ) is connected with said ejector control lever ( 7 ) and the other end is connected with a body of the gun.
7. A toy gun according to claim 1 , wherein said sliding piece ( 6 ) is provided with one end linked with said first linkage ( 2 ) and the other end provided with a protrusion.
8. A toy gun according to claim 5 , wherein the contacting end ( 14 ) of said dart sensor lever ( 4 ) is provided with a hook, and said transmission element ( 3 ) is provided with a corresponding groove coordinating with said hook.
9. A toy gun according to claim 8 , wherein said stopper ( 12 ) is positioned proximate to the first end ( 18 ) of said ejector control lever ( 7 ) relative to the pivot ( 11 ).
10. A toy gun according to claim 5 , wherein said transmission element ( 3 ) is a linkage linked to the contacting end ( 14 ) of said dart sensor lever ( 4 ).
11. A toy gun according to claim 10 , wherein said stopper ( 12 ) is positioned proximate to the first end ( 18 ) of said ejector control lever ( 7 ) relative to the pivot ( 11 ).
12. A toy gun according to claim 5 , wherein the contacting end ( 14 ) of said dart sensor lever ( 14 ) leans to said transmission element ( 3 ), and the contacting surface of said transmission element ( 3 ) is an inclined plane.
