Really cool dude!!!! It's so fast!!
just one suggestion - attach a small board to the firing end of the ruler perpendicularly so that it doesn't come round the other side and smack you in the face!!!!!!!
good luck!!!!

soory i have a habit of sending messages to the wrong people. that was meant for glugnar
Feb 17, 2011. 2:44 PMglugnar says:
Na, i dont think so because i tried many upon many different kinds of rubberbands, and none work. So that probably means i built it wrong, o well idk ive mooved on to ifferent things.

exepet for this one the one that should be in 1st place is www.instructables.com/id/intro-18/ and the sling shot that
the   www.instructables.com/id/intro-18/ is the best one and the
one this  instructable that is made of a piece of wood that is shaped

I first have to say that several times Instructables.com has made me login to my account while I was already logged in and claiming to bring me back to my comment while it just lead me to some page I've visited before. I made a bamboo "gun" when I was eleven in Taiwan. I used a rather thick bamboo stick and nailed in a small nail very deep into one end. I then strecthed a rubber band (or multiple ones) and clamped them with some sort of clip that was also clamping the bamboo piece. I miss it very much and your Instructable reminds me of it. Thanks for posting this.
