Does anybody know the name of these?

Does anybody know the name of the machine that shoots baseballs at the batting cages? I'm trying to figure it out so I can write it in my book. Also, I'm trying to figure out the name of the machine that shoots tennis balls as well as the name of the guns that riot police use to shoot rubber bands. If anybody could tell me the names of all three of these, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

    For baseballs, the two most popular machines are an arm action machine and a circular wheel machine. The arm action machine simulates the delivery of a pitcher and carries a ball at the end of a bracket, much like a hand would. The arm action machine then delivers the ball in an overhand motion. The circular wheel machine contains one, two or three wheels that spin much like a bike tire. The wheels on these machines are usually set in either a horizontal or vertical fashion. With a circular machine, a ball shoots out towards the hitter after it is fed into the wheel or wheels. Three wheel machines are more easily adjusted to be able to throw a variety of pitches and they can be used for a wide range of other practice scenarios, such as ground work or flyballs.

    Tennis ball machines are called Tennis ball machines or Tennis machines.

    Guns that shoot rubber bands are called rubber band guns.
