cool... instructions (pictures) not the clearest in the world, but I could figure them out well enough

[rexdino5]

Hey this doesn't work...

[Yukondano2]

I'm not quite sure this dude's account is quite.... active. Btw, i'm still trying to get this thing to work, I don't know where to put the rubber bands.

[Yukondano2]

Why do we need duct tape?

[lewisbirch]

looks a cool gun but im not a fan of rubberband guns they kinda suck. Heres one i made it pretty cool i tried to change it to rod or bb shooter it didnt work

[GUN MASTER]

thats what u think i think there fun so yea

[Madrias357]

Agreed! I made one that's not Knex, but that's just for durability. I have nothing against Knex, I just don't like how easy it is to break the guns made with it. That said, I'd have to say that this one could be a little better. It's not bad, but not great, either.

why not try to make it into a crossbow w/ a clip? that might work

[Danny]

in my experiance guns that fire elastics dont work but guns that fire rods do make this fire rods then ill give it a + rating

[alfpwns]

mine RBG firs bands and rods

[Bitterberry9]

i agree

[josefu0]

it better it works and has a handle

[zsnower]

it doesn't work

[bounty1012]

this gun didnt work well

[twzoom]

Hey Kickback, you should put my escapement trigger (click on my name, it's the only one there) on your gun and modify your sprocket with green rods, it will allow you to shoot one rubberband at a time plus it hardly ever missfires.

[i make shooting things]

i hate his your pictures suck. and the gun shoots them all at once.

[chip0152]

u put them on in betwen the white rods not all together

[cowscankill]

i made the gun and mine fire perfectly. you must be a lousy constructer, squirel boy!

[kickback]

well then u have to use better rubber bands on the handle

[knex freak101]

i build and it would NOT shoot

[bradleyJOHN]

worst iv ever seen

[pates1]

I made an RBG K'nex gun (no offense) but i like mine better.

[killer6]

lol, i've build this gun to but i've changed a few things. Now i can switch it from semi- automatic to full auto :P

[jfero32192]

so, me and my friends like were doing all this stuff with rubber band guns, and he like customized it and it fired pieces mad good. You just gotta pull the band back and load a piece into like the thing. lol and then its fires madd gooddd

[skwurul]

I wasn't able to make this gun because I couldn't see 3/4 of the pictures. Could you, I dunno, either get a better camera or take better pictures? -_-;;

[steel$]

boes this thing shoot rods or rubberbands

[kickback]

it is a RUBBER BAND GUN

[bunduk]

Hello look at the design which can be obtained by averting your gaze 10 centimetres upwards :)

[bunduk]

I agree with danny

[crestind]

Very detailed instructable, although I'm not a fan of rubber band guns. It does look cool though.

[nick.z]

nice gun.
