      No one will EVER blieve me, but I was ROBBED with a rubber band gun.

      I am not sure if giving the details of a home made gun is legal or not, but
      those things were able to shoot a real bullet (a pistol, or an Israeli Thompson usually.)

      This was back in africa, some of you might know what I am talking about, I will
      just give you some hints, and see if you can picture it.

      Ingredients:
      1) a cable of tire tube (American cars no longer have this, but back in africa, car tires were
      hollow, and they have a balloon like tube that goes between them and the rims. The tube
      is the black thing that some poeple swim with, if you ever been to a latin american or african
      beach.)
      You just cut an long stripe off of the tube, and this is a very hard rubber.

      2) wooden skeleton (your favorite gun shape, we had ones that even had the curvy magazine
      of a Kalishnikov.)

      3) a metal pipe. The longer, thinner, the more accurate.

      4) an L shaped piece of steel, with a pointy end.

      5) a long hard nail (this is curved on the wood, and used to hold the bullet.)

      Steps:
      ------
      If you arranged the above in some special way, put a bullet in the nail loop, and
      some how used the L shaped steel like an arrow and a bow, you would be able to shoot
      a real amu.

      The bullet will fly straight, and the left over "butt" (what do you call it.) would be
      left in the nail loop (sometimes, if the nail is too weak, it would jump and hit you right
      between the eyes.)

      Finally:
      --------
      This is ALL finctional, and figment of my imagination. I bare no responsibilty for anything
      that results from following it. Grow up, and enjoy it as fiction.

        Also known in 1950's and early 1960's on the streets of the USA as "zip guns". Pretty popular with the gangs back then. Basically a tube that you put a bullet in, then use the rubber band to power a makeshift firing pin.

        American automobiles may not use innertubes any more, but American tractors and many American trucks still do. Nothing better than grabbing an innertube, a case of good beer, and floating down a river. (you hang the beer under the innertube so it keeps cold in the river)
      • Hey, you discovered a zip gun. I can simplify it for you too:

        1 metal pipe (diamter of a bullet)
        1 metal ball bearing
        1 strong rubber band
        1 bullet

        bullet goes in the pipe, bearing rests aainst the firing pin, rubber band gets glued/ducte taped, attached in some way to the bearing and also to the pipe on either side of the bullet.

        pull back the band to "cock", let go to fire, and hope the shell casing doen't hit you in the eye and make you blind.

Some of the really hardcore guys would bring hundreds of rubberbands wrapped arounds their wrists and ankles, plus canisters of these little paper ammo things that they spent hours making.

    • I was one of those hardcore kids, in middle school.

      I wouldn't say "hours", but I sure knew how to make a good wasp. There were difference sizes for different occasions (range, wind if you were outdoors, allowable noise level)... rubber bands and wasps had to be concealed, because the teachers really didn't like them.

      It was fun, though. Nobody ever got more than a sting, as there were certain rules. Paper ammo only, not even foil. If you inked your wasp, you were really gonna get it. No firing if it would get you or your target busted. No face shots, for the love of God no face shots! No firing at close range. No firing on declared noncombatants. There was no rulebook, but we weren't complete assholes, so those were all understood.

      And it was constant warfare. In the halls, in class, on the bus... the only time a truce was implicitly understood to be in effect was at lunch or during tests.

      Yep, wasps thoroughly kicked pencil-fighting's ass.

      I built myself a rubberband machine gun when I was in my early teens. It started when we found a bag of rubber bands at the local park, probably dumped by some newspaper delivery person. We couldn't just leave hundreds of thick rubber bands sitting there, so we hauled them all home and began shooting each other with them. I got tired of snapping them against my thumb and decided to build a gun. My dad had a decent wood shop in the garage, so I got some wood together and built myself a single-shot rifle.

      This of course gave me a competitive advantage, and pretty soon everyone wanted guns. I built up a pretty little arsenal, and things were good. But I was ambitious and wanted to see just how cool a gun I could make. So I designed and eventually built a machine gun.

      It was a crude weapon compared to my original gracefully sanded and curved rifle, but the results were dramatic. It was a length of two-by-four with a firing mechanism in back and a row of pegs at the business end. The mechanism was a thick dowel studded with a spiral of half-inserted wood screws, mounted on an axle perpendicular to the gun's line of fire. A small crank and ratchet controlled the dowel's spin. You loaded it by hooking rubber bands, one at a time, from the pegs at the end to the screws on the dowel, then advancing the ratchet one click. It took more work to load the more rubber bands you put on, so I was never able to load more than a couple dozen onto it.

      To fire it you simply released the ratchet, and WHAM! The dowel turned in a blur, the rubber bands went everywhere, and it made this cool thrumming and clacking noise. Accuracy sucked, but that was fine; in fact once I loaded the rubber bands crossways, so that instead of being parallel to the gun's "bore" they angled back and forth across it. No need to wave the gun around that way - it would "spray" its shots automatically, a nice feature considering the gun would dump its entire ammunition load in a couple of seconds.

      The gun was very impressive and frightened the other kids but I abandoned it shortly because it took too long to load. It's not much good blowing off all your ammunition in the first few seconds of a firefight when the other kids can pick up the rubberbands you've just plastered all over their clothing and fire them right back at you while you stand there for ten minutes getting ready for your next shot.

      Anyway, I remember seeing this guy's Gatling at the California State Fair a few years back. I could have sworn it was the 144-shot model even then, so either I'm remembering wrong and it was actually the 72-shot model, or there's some other nutcase out there building 144-shot rubber band machine guns with a similar design.

    Of course, at work we have battle grouping for our elastic band wars and we've found that a good piece of card board works well as a machine gun...we've also found a hand technique which stings from 10 yards away. In fact, we did some studies of it in our friendly neighbourhood campus engineering department, and found that it has an inherent spin which stabilizes it (gyroscope).

    Make a C with your index and thumb on your left hand. Hang the elastic loosely on it and then grab the bottom inside of the band and push towards your target (with your thumb). One side will be more tightly wound than the other. When you release your thumb it'll fire. No wear and tear as it doesn't hit your brace finger or cause redness (you newbies will find out what we mean when you use the two hand technique).

    Perfect sniper fire in a cubicle environment.

  • The use of elastic bands as the projectile usually escallates to the slingshot variant pretty quickly. In which circumstances, the bottom couple of centimetres of Mum's washing up gloves made an excellent spring for the elastic (and tech drawing compass if you had to "camofkage" the frame) powered slingshot. I understand this to be pretty universal.

    However due to some of the native fauna in Oz, specifically bottlebrush whose dried up flower casings and their orientation in clumps on the branches made for easy harvesting for an excellent, and abundant,source of ammunition. They are hard and woody about 3mm "opened spheres". However the slingshot had to be upgraded to a "glove gun" as we called it. the finger of the same washing up gloves (much harder to acquire undetected) securely fastent to a piece of narrow guage PVC pipe (8-12mm). Load up a few (less than 10) of the seeds, draw back the finger tip of the glove and let rip.

    That all involved still have their eyesight is somewhat of a miracle.

    Of course this is all fiction and one would never suggest that anyone should try something so stupid.
  • I've got a gatling gun rubber band pistol that was about $15; it's a blast, but it takes forever to load all the rubber bands, and about 5 seconds to make a huge mess ;-) It's kinda clever: a cylinder with 8 splines on it. You wrap a string around once, then stretch a band over each spline, repeat until you get bored or run out of string. The string is attached to a crank, and as you turn the crank, it pops off bands as it turns the cylinder. They're hard to find, but they can be had here [shaveshop.com].
  • "This should be OK to bring into the country. It shouldn't be a problem. We all agree it is not a firearm," said Colette Gentes-Hawn, spokeswoman for Canada Customs.

    Wow. Imagine the paperwork U.S. Customs would bring if the thing was made in Canada, and had to be imported into the U.S.

    I mean, golly, you could shoot your eye out.

  • I would have them confiscate any cubicle warfare weapon should someone try to board a plane with one.
  • aptly titled rubberbandguns.com [rubberbandguns.com] they also have a gatling gun called the devestator [rubberbandguns.com] (sic)

  • Calahan: I know what you're thinking, punk. You're thinking, did he fire one hundred forty four shots or only one hundred forty three? Well to tell you the truth, I forgot myself in all this excitement. But being as this is a 144 Magnum, the most powerful rubberbandgun in the world and will blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself a question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well do ya...punk?
