If you wanted accuracy you could tape a straw on the front for a guide tube.

This is a rubber band gun that shoots rubber bands. The straw would get in the way.

Suggestion, take a sixth chopstick and clamp it into the clothespin in front of the band (if it does not "stick" then roughen the end with sandpaper.) That is what I have always done with things like this.

[~Z~]

Yeah I know. The thing is, chopsticks are actually fairly heavy, so they don't shoot as far. I know you could just use it to launch chopsticks, but they won't shoot as far, and even with rough grit sandpaper, the chopstick may not stay back with a strong rubber band. Thanks for the comment!

That is true, You could give it arms to increase rubber-band tension.

[~Z~]

Yeah. That takes away from the whole "Super Simple" thing though. I want everybody to be able to do this with basic materials and a few minutes.
