Question

Does anyone know how to make a rubber band gun?

Answer 1

I do and this is what you will need.

1/2 inch thick panel (wood or plywood)

Ruler

Pencil

Jigsaw

Sandpaper

Clothespin

Rubber Band

Finishing nails

Hammer

Measure your hand from pinky to thumb. The handle of your rubber band gun should be a little bit longer than this measurement. The barrel of the gun should be less than 10 inches and more than six inches long.  Using your ruler, transfer the measurements to your panel. With the jigsaw, cut the L-shaped blank out of the panel. Sand the edges of your blank. Watch out for splinters.  Remove one of the legs of the clothespin from the spring. Place the leg of the clothespin with the metal spring on it against the back of the handle of the blank.  Hammer two finishing nails through the leg of the clothespin, one above and one below the spring. Reattach the other leg of the clothespin. Loading and Firing: Stretch the rubber band from the upper corner of the barrel to the clothespin. Be sure the rubber band runs down the barrel and into the clasp of the clothespin without any overlap on the sides. Aim the rubber band gun and depress the clothespin
