A projectile shooting toy comprises a body housing, a projectile delivery
tube formed with an interior of the housing and a motor driven projectile
firing apparatus having a trigger and projectile cannon pivotally mounted
to the body housing. Activation of the trigger causes the cannon to move
from a stored position to a deployed position, allowing a projectile to
enter an inlet of the projectile cannon from the projectile delivery tube.
Activation of the trigger further causes a firing ram to abruptly strike
the projectile and fire it from the cannon. In a preferred embodiment, the
projectile shooting toy is in the form of a helicopter.
