Abstract

A cylinder for a toy gun is assembled to the toy gun ( 100 ) for containing bullets. The cylinder ( 6 ) includes a fastening structure ( 61, 61 a ) and a surrounding structure ( 62 ). The fastening structure ( 61, 61 a ) is rotatably disposed on the toy gun ( 100 ). The surrounding structure ( 62 ) is surroundingly disposed in an outer periphery of the fastening structure ( 61, 61 a ). The surrounding structure ( 62 ) includes multiple sleeves ( 621 ) circularly connected to one another. Each sleeve ( 621 ) has a chamber ( 622 ) for containing the bullet. An inner wall of each chamber ( 622 ) is in elastic contact with the bullet to position the same. Accordingly, the cylinder ( 6 ) is suitable for all bullets (e.g. ball bullets ( 900 ) made from iron or lead or a plastic trumpet-shaped bullet ( 800 )), thereby enhancing utility, and all bullets can be positioned stably and properly in the chambers ( 622 ) without falling out.
