How to make a rubber-band pistol

I cant believe i couldn't find anyone else making one of these. All this is is wood and a clothespin in the basic design, but mod this up and creates multi-shot ones or crossbows.

Materials
All you need for your rubber-band pistol is a peice of scrap wood with around 2 in. X 4-8 in. X 1/4 of an inch. You will also need a small nail and a clothespin.

The wood needs to be cut at a 45 degree angle on one side and pretty flat on the other side.

this is inspiration for my newly in progress pistolized skewer gun, see the date on upper right:)

and it will be multi-shot with a simple triggering mechanism patented by patented on his skewer gun involving one of those black clips, the smaller the better, next I'll try to make a multi-shot organ pen artillery for school warfare that fires five at a time. And then uhh....... maybe, I'll make up my mind, for now if your making weapons, join my group @ http://www.instructables.com/groups/ballisticarmory

Instant membership but your instructables will be checked by me, as long as
it causes terror I will allow it, expect your instructable to be checked in 1-2 days and less than week when summer's over :)
