Okey, this is a very simple gun, wich is made just for showing people how-to-use-a-spring-in-a-standard-block-trigger-gun.

shoots a fine 40 feet (with my spring)

If your just going to post something similar to stop posting this becuase its a block trigger, don't, i will come to you and haunt you (A).
This gun also can use some standard rubber bands, but i dont suggest it.

this may sound very easy, but maybe can be a little harder than you might think, the pictures will clear it up :)

just connect the two yellow rods to the two rd rods, on the back o fthe gun, dont forget to put the pieces od two steps before on it before adding the handle :).

Rubbering, Loading, Aiming and Firing!

add one rubber band to the trigger, and then wrap it around the front handle.

to load, put you left thumb on the red connector on the back of the gun, then take the two white pieces on the ram with oint and middle finger, pull back untill you hear the lovely "click" stick a rod in the front and then hold the handles, put your left thumb on the trigger, put your face near the back of the gun, aim and shoot!
