How to make a REALLY powerful rubber band gun

My friend and I made a rubber band gun. Unfortunatly his Mum threw it away before I took any pictures, so I had to make artists impretions. Beware, this is REALLY powerful (I dented a car window!).

It doesn't really dent it, but makes a mark on it which has gone in a bit. Got into so much trouble with that!! And no, I'm not Uncle Charlie.

my uncle taught me how to make this... you dont happen to be uncle charlie, do u? we put a nail thru the peg to secure it, then took the metal spring out of another clothes peg and attached it to the rubber band, makes it alot more dangerous i got the rubber band metal part stuck in a tree trunk good instructable
