Secondly, the building block connecting protrusion 44 arranged on the outer side wall of the sliding sleeve can avoid the mechanical interference between the splicing device and the movable part and ensure the consistency of the launching action. Furthermore, the interference fit design between the building block connecting post 51 and the building block connecting protrusion 44 effectively resists the detachment of the component resulted from emitted vibration while ensuring easy disassembly and assembly. In addition, the creative play of building block splicing is combined with the dynamic operation of the launcher, which effectively improves the multi-dimensional interactive experience of users.
  • It should also be noted that the extension of the functional module can be achieved by arranging light, sound, vibration or other functional units in the prior art on the splicing device 5, so that the splicing device 5 has different functions.

The grip plate 41 is configured to be mounted on the grip 11, thereby providing a position on the grip 11 where the splicing device 5 can be mounted. In this way, the grip plate 41 can be manufactured independently. A plurality of building block connecting protrusions 44 arranged on the grip plate 41 may be stuck and difficult to remove in the injection molding and demoulding process. However, the content of this embodiment can ensure the injection manufacturing efficiency of the grip plate 41. Furthermore, the gun body 1 and the grip plate 41 have different application requirements. The gun body 1 needs higher strength to support the mounting of other devices, and the grip plate 41 needs higher wear resistance. Through the technical solution of this embodiment, different rubber materials can be respectively used for injection molding according to actual application requirements, so as to improve the durability of the products.
