The first images shows the innards of the rubber band gun. Notice how the rotating part with the teeth has gray goop over it and a tooth missing? Yea that's my attempt at fixing it and trying to get it more rigid with some epoxy and thin metal rods. The second image is a close up. Weaponized T-Rex is far from the first to produce a wooden toy gun to bring some accuracy and realism to childhood (or adulthood) rubber band warfare. From versions based on handguns, to others inspired by Tommy guns and even sniper rifles, there are plenty of options to keep the elastics firing off across one’s living room or office. Made from wooden CNC-machined pieces, the Rubber Band Minigun’s 12 barrels can be manually loaded up with 144 rubber bands. From there, electric motors turn the drum with the pull of a trigger, while a separate release trigger then fires off the rubber bands at a rate of 200 rounds per minute. This means the drum can be turned on its own, without firing rubber bands, for the purpose of instilling fear in your opponents.

Then, inspect your clothespin to ensure it is sturdy enough to withstand the tension of your rubber band.

Some of our most popular rubber band guns include the Magnum 45 pistol, the AK-47 rifle, the M-16 Marauder rifle, the Colt 22 pistol, the Tommy Gun®, and the Devastator Gatling gun – which is well known as the most powerful rubber band gun in the world. The best part about our products is that they are American made. Next is the actual design portion. This is often the hardest part of the whole process, I've even heard that rubber band gun designing can be even more difficult than actual gun designing. If the band slips free easily, you may want to use your cutting tool to cut your notch a little deeper.

Grab some clamps and glue, line up the part and glue it down. Make sure the MDF sides stay below the box in the front and also square with the top.

The handle I made so that it could fit the Beretta 92 side grip panel. For those who don't know what Pepakura is, it's a software which converts your 3D object into flat pieces with tabs so that you could make it out of paper or anything flat. You can get more info on how to use the software with my previous instructable "For Halloween... Why Not be Yourself?" Another handy little feature that this program has is that it could export the cutout pieces into vector format, which is the eventual outcome we are going for. This step is probably the most difficult and crucial! On the 1" squared escapement wheel you need to find the center and drill it out to 1/8". this can not be off at all or the pistol will Not fire right! Cut a length of 1/8" brass rod and peen one end.
