REACTION TOY ARRANGEMENT AND METHOD

A fluid discharge reaction-propelled toy missile with multiple stages releasably interconnected by pressurizable, collapsibly flexible gripping wall sections, illustrated as pressure-expendable convex hollow bulbous gripping sections each resiliently releasably directly gripping a respective succeeding stage fluid discharge propulsion orifice and releasably sealing it from fluid discharge communication with the atmosphere. Self-sealing lateral inlet valves provided in individual stages enable separate individual stage pressurization from an external pressure source. Missiles are launched from a fluid-pressurizable ground-launching pad having a similar releasable missile-holding connection, with launch simulation enhancement provided by controlled-release lateral liquid spray orifices and a spray-enhancing annular deflector ring.
