Rubber Band Gun Thread

[pneumaticcannons]

So i thought it would be cool if people could show off their rbg's here. Feel free to post your own rbg in this thread and i should be adding some more guns of mine soon.

To kick this off i would like to show you guys my not so mini, mini gun.

I think most of you have already figured it out how it works but in case you haven't.... It's just a string wound around the rotating barrels that plucks the rubber bands off. The string is pulled by a cheapo $10 electric drill.

I have an in-depth video of me dissembling the gun here

I remember seeing this on your channel. 'Tis the awesomenest RBG I ever did see.

I'll have to fish around in my K'nex box to find the rubber-band bow that I made. Might take a while...

Here's an oldy:

Made another one about..oh...13 years ago that used pulleys to double the pull.I used a LOT of rubber bands on it.
One pull, one shot deal.
It was able to launch marbles from between two rails and buried them halfway ito a solid wood door.
By accident..

I absolutely love the minigun!
What a simple but brilliant solution.
I wish I had seen that thing 20 years ago.I would have combined the above with yours.

Good work!
Keep it coming!

btw thanks!

You got it wrong... my bad..
The thing in the picture is a very simple RBG, firing one band a time.


I made it for my son.

I don't have any pictures of the other one I made earlier.
I do remember it had about 90kg or 200pounds of pull.
At the time I could pretty acurately guess a weight as I was a bodybuilder back then.
It too looked pretty good and was configured like a bullpup.

Spudgunning pretty much replaced bodybuilding as a hobby

oh ok, ya i was confused as to where the bands went and such.
and 200 pounds of pull!!!! thats crazy! where you like the joergs of 13 yrs ago

danielrowell- thanks for the compliment, good luck finding your k'nex bow

Joerg consumes more accepted products for his liver to deal with.
I was stronger, but that isn't neccesarily a bigger accomplishment.

Other than that...yeah something like that.
