Rubber Band Pistol
When I was younger me and my brothers loved running around and pretending to be pirates and cowboys and shooting each other with rubber bands but it was always annoying wrapping the rubber band on our hands and we also didn't think it looked cool enough just shooting it from our hands. So we came up with the simple rubber band pistol that looks cool and even shoots more accurately!
Supplies
- One thick rubber band.
- One or more small rubber bands (depending how much ammo you want).
- One laundry clip.
- One straight wooden stick.
We will take the laundry clip and place it on one end of the wooden stick and use the big rubber band to secure it so it doesn't move, the end of the clip that is closed should point to the longer end of the stick. Make sure that the rubber band is placed on the center of the clip so that you can open and close the clip with ease.
The pistol is ready! Now to shoot just wrap one of the thin rubber bands from the end of the stick to the clip and close the clip on it. Then just open the clip with your thumb and your rubber band will shoot out! Watch video for demo.
