Abstract
Abstract This invention provides blowing-operated noisemakers to toy guns of the type which are sized to be graspable by one or two hands and which are pointable by the user. Toy gun devices are provided in which user-blown air may be routed from a mouthpiece to a gun-mounted noisemaker by way of a hollow pipe or hose. Variable noises may be made by the user by controlling the blown air, as by using a rotary whistle. The sounds emanating from the toy gun are emitted in the direction in which the toy gun is pointed.
