Can you believe that? 144 rubber bands, they don't mention how long it would take to reload though. I just know that I won't want to run into one.

Wow, I saw a 12 rubber band machine gun once, several years back, but never have I whitnessed such rubber band mayhem as that monsterous whilt inflictor.

i used to own one of those when i was a kid. lots of fun. does take a while to reload, but it becomes kind of a mindless activity. then i'd shoot down an army of toy soldiers with it and start all over.

i dont recal if it was j-leno or dave letterman who owns one of those (probably both...) but one does.

they are supposed to be pimp.

I wish I saw the episode when they used it. A lot of work picking up the rubber band and reloading, for just a little bit of fun.

Who wants to have a go at their boss with that thing...I personaly don't becaue I am a calm & cool laid back kinda person who apreciates others for who they are...but I know most of the world actually gets pissed off at rediculous people like so many bosses are...so who up for a boss banding with this thing?

I once tried modifying a regular rubber bad gun to be full automatic. The problem was it would fire all twelve shots almost instantly and they would tangle up and fire as one big rubberband wad.

Yeah, I had a six shooter version once.

But I am much better, accurate, and more powerful just using my hands.

He walks into his office, everything as it should be, until he looks up. Six 12 barreled machine guns pointed right at him! Just seconds later, the barrage starts. He is hit by over 700 rubber bands! Score! By the time he knows what hit him, he is standing in a pile of rubber bands, with no one in sight, windows pulled open. He falls to his knees. "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!" They were never seen again.....

When I was a wee little kid, I used to make one out of disposable chopsticks, using rubber bands as fasteners. The ones I made could only shoot one rubber band at a time, but I recall having more fun building one rather than shooting with it.

A true DIYer to this day no doubt?

In some cases yes, but unfortunately, not in the Head-Fi sense. Though I do plan on teaching myself to solder and maybe build a CMoy once I have more free time in few months.

EDIT - Being on topic, I thought about buying the Rubber Band Maching Gun till I saw the price for it.

And off topic I will take the discusion once again...sorry.

That is something that I think happens to just about everyone with just about everything...oh, it would kick ass if I could pick that up...oh wait, it costs more than I will make in three months...nah, better not...oh what the heck...and the wallet is thusly made into the Head-Fi satirical greating of legend.

So true, so true.

Incidentally, the plan for the rubber band machine gun is only $29.95(plus S&H). I'm almost tempted as I either own or have access to all the needed tools, but I'm fairly certain that it would cost less for me to just buy the already built one after considering all the materials and time spent.
