Title: Light-emission gun amusement machine for home use

Abstract: A compact light-emission gun amusement machine for home use, comprising a light source, a screen, a mirror as disposed between the screen and light source, the angle of reflection of the mirror being variable to project a moving mark on said screen, a light-emission weapon and a novel hit indicating device in a novel combination. The hit indicating device includes a mirror vertical drive mechanism connected to a driving shaft driven by an electric motor and a mirror horizontal drive mechanism which is associated with the driving shaft in such relation that the former is driven only when the latter is driven in a reverse direction. Thus, as the motor is driven in a normal direction, the mark is caused to move in a composite direction made up of horizontal and vertical components to simulate a flight of a winged creature, while as the same motor is driven in reverse, the horizontal drive of the mirror is suspended to cause the mark to move in a vertically downward direction only across the screen to simulate a fall of the creature shot by the weapon.
