DIY Metal Rubber Band Gun
This rubber band gun works just like the wooden ones you've probably seen. The difference is that this is made of metal, has a safety, and includes a flashlight and laser sight. OK, just a wee bit over the top, but impressive.

Ahhh, i see... sorry about that. I reckon i could make it over a course of a few weeks, but i haven't got the firing mechanism worked out, and i cudn't really be stuffed to look up how it works.

buy a cheap wooden one, then use the mechanisms inside it to make metal ones
