US12429301 - AR/VR crossbow system

An innovative augmented reality/virtual reality (AR/VR) crossbow system that includes a bow frame assembly, a stock, a sight assembly, a cocking assembly, a resistance assembly and an electronic device assembly with a mobile device. These components are configured to structurally interact to provide the user with an experience of loading, aiming and firing a virtual crossbow arrow that closely simulates real-life archery and crossbow scenarios without firing an actual crossbow arrow. Due to its unique components and their layout, the AR/VR crossbow system is not configured to fire real arrows. An interactive crossbow application is loaded on the mobile device and simulate real life archery scenarios such as hunting scenarios or target competition scenarios. The mobile device also includes a gyroscope to analyze the orientation of the crossbow frame assembly and a microphone to determine when a simulated arrow is fired within the crossbow application.

Break barrel airguns are provided with a loading system that uses the cocking action of the break barrel type airgun to charge an energy storing device. A rotary style magazine is provided that enables multi-shot capability for the airgun. The magazin is held by a magazine holder and engages with engagement components that reduce backlash, prevent backwards rotation of the magazine, and ensure alignment of the projectile holders in the magazine with the opening of the barrel.
