Claims
- 1. A game system shooting at targets with a bullet by means of a pneumatic gun comprising:a pneumatic gun; a plurality of bullets for the gun; a present-supply device including: a plurality of targets; a plurality of holders; a plurality of presents; each of the presents coupled to a respective one of the plurality of targets, each of the plurality of targets removably coupled to one of the holders, wherein the target is made of a material that tears when struck by a bullet; a driving means for moving the holders; a present-delivery device for delivering the present to the player when the target is torn by a shot bullet; a bullet-supply device for feeding back the shot bullet to the pneumatic gun; and a bullet-select device between the present-delivery device and the bullet-supply device for transferring bullets that preserve their original shape to the bullet supply device; and a pneumatic gun position sensing sensor provided at the shooting position of the game system for sensing the arrangement of the gun at the shooting position whereby the shooting is only possible when the sensor senses that the pneumatic gun is placed at the shooting position.
- 2. The game system as set forth in claim 1, wherein the bullet-select device comprises a selection rod having a recess formed spirally along its circumference, a motor for rotating the selection rod, and a panel for supporting the selection rod and the motor, the size of the spiral recess being a little smaller than the diameter of the bullet.
- 3. The game system as set forth in claim 1, wherein the bullet-supply device comprises:(a) a bullet-reception section for receiving the bullets; (b) a solenoid device mounted below the bullet-reception section, the device including a solenoid, a solenoid arm which is withdrawn toward the solenoid when the solenoid turns on, and a resilient means between the solenoid and the solenoid arm; (c) a block having a motor, the block for supporting the bullet-reception section and the solenoid device: in which, the bullet-reception section has a handle, the handle having a sweeper and being connected to the motor of the block, and at the base of the bullet-reception section is formed a first penetration hole in communication with space between the solenoid and the solenoid arm of the solenoid device; and the block has a second penetrating hole in communication with the pneumatic gun, the hole having a bullet-sensing sensor therein and being connected to an air pressure supply means in its one side; whereby the bullet received in the bullet-reception section is transferred to the space between the solenoid and the solenoid arm through the first penetration hole by the operation of the sweeper when the motor drives the handle; the bullet is drawn into the second penetrating hole when the solenoid arm is withdrawn to the solenoid arm by the actuation of the solenoid; and the bullet is fed back from the second penetrating hole to the gun by means of an air pressure injected by the air pressure supply means when the bullet sensing sensor senses the bullet in the second penetration hole.
- 4. The game system as set forth in claim 1, wherein the shot bullet is fed back to the gun through a hose, the game system characterized in that inside the hose is placed a chain along its longitudinal direction so that the hose maintains rigidity and the player can freely move the gun.
- 5. The game system as set forth in claim 1, wherein the bullet-select device comprises a selection rod having a recess formed spirally along its circumference, a motor for rotating the selection rod, and a panel for supporting the selection rod and the motor, the size of the spiral recess being a little smaller than the diameter of the bullet.
