Introduction: Dirt Cheap Rubber Band Gun
Rubber band gun is a great toy. There are many models - from single-shot to full automatic machine gun. I recently had a takeaway meal which came with disposable chopsticks.
I made a decent rubber band gun by the chopsticks and some rubber bands.
The cost? A few rubber bands.

Step 3: Putting Them Together
When they put together, the gun should look like this.
Step 4:
Tie the front sight and the barrel by the rubber bands. The tie must be tight as the stress will be quite large on them.
Step 5: Make the Grip
Make a triangle grip. Again, tie them by the rubber bands.
Step 6: Finally, the Trigger.
Again, tie the trigger by a rubber band.
Step 7: Load the Weapon
Load a rubber band between the front sight and the trigger.
Pull the trigger and fire the rubber band.
It can easily shoot to over 20 feet.
