Rubberband Guns are a Lot of Fun
I remember as a kid shooting rubber bands at my dad and my classmates and even at my sister. It was simple enough, you knocked the rubber band on the tip of your first finger, wrapped it around your thumb and held it against your palm with your middle finger. Then you took aim at someone who us hopefully unsuspecting and let her fire.
Later I discovered the rubber band gun. It was a piece of wood attached to a dowel that was shaped like a pistol. There was a clothes pin on the back that held the rubber band. You pushed the pin open if you wanted to fire it. It was awesome. Today I want to build one of these by hand. Take a look at some of the following. A lot of people have built their own rubber band gun.

How to Make a Rubber Band Gun
The Complicated Way
I think this is an overly elaborate rubberband gun. I can't believe what this guy has to go through to make something like this. Don't get me wrong. The rubberband gun is awesome. I wish I had the patience to build something like it. Who knows, maybe some day I might. Right now I need to work on building my wood shop.

You Will Need Lots of Rubber Bands
Never can Have Too Much Ammo
Think about having an awesome rubberband gun and only having a few rubberbands. That means when you loose all the ammo, your gun will be a glorified club. Make sure you have plenty of ammo. The nice thing about rubberbands is they are cheap.
