http://www.backyardartillery.com/machinegun/ - MrMysterious, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'd rather have the USB dart launcher.
- arestme, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I remember that thing like 20yrs ago.
- vidar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I've had a rubber band gatling gun for quite some time, and yes, you have to load each rubber band manually. Takes a while, but it's worth it. Scares the hell outta the cats when you start firing. Also great at LAN parties to take out the bastard that shot you in the game.
- adml_shake, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I was in a mall in kansas city about 10 years ago and saw one of these. Looked pretty much like that one. I was a little short of the 250 that the guy wanted for it. I did but a few of the hand guns and had a fun time on the ride home!!
- ultimate_ed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I heard about this one time on the sliceofscifi podcast. Most impressive.
- vdubski, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Saw one of these at my county fair like 10 years ago, but they wouldn't sell it. Dugg.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Very cool. Hope you don't have to hand load each rubber band individually, that would kinda take the fun out of it. digg( );
- ehmjay, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0my cousin did something similar to this, he was really bored one day at work and created "...a makeshift pain machine or "gun" from various sizes of binder clips and rubber bands. I have even named it "Conan" - I was torn between "The Destroyer" and "The Barbarian," and let's face it, Conan is both."

- thor17usa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I wish I had one of these when I went into the office during Christmas break. I would have had so much fun because most of the bosses were on vacation anyway.

http://www.backyardartillery.com/machinegun/ - mtupker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I made one of these back when I was still in cub scouts. The rate of fire wasn't that good though.
- robcornelius, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0If it was 1999 and I was straight out of college and the CEO of a ecommerce start up that was doomed to fail in the next year I would want one. Thats when this thing was on /. if I remember rightly
- trickmcsneak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0In subcontinent call centres the supervisors have these mounted on watch towers....
- Trigeno, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I made 4 of these when i was 15 years old that was 20 years ago, the mere showing this to my schoolmates at the beginning of a "Tag" game, kept them all away from my home and they were all afraid, very afraid. I saw one made at a flea market and copied the idea from seeing it for 10 seconds. upgraded and was able to load 300 rubberbands in one load, 90 seconds to shoot all of them or shower your target. This is the best novalty safe gun for kids.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0they have this at the Clagary Stampede EVERY SINGLE YEAR....... still cool though
they also had some nice (rubber band) riffles and hand guns - CaptSnuffy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0older than digg
- Aeplus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Awesome.
- dr00d, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0When we were in New Orleans in 94, I bought a tommy gun and one of those pump action (terminator 2 style) rifles...the same style.... dayamn that was fun. Brought them back here in Perth, and boy was I a popular lad.
- Crazyguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Digg Effect
- detroitsux, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I really have to get the catapults and trebuchets and mount them on my car. I wonder if I can use them as tax writeoffs.
- sych0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0pfft. office nerds.
- Jeppy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Sweet Jesus!!!!
I got to get me one of these!!!!!
+ digg - tavisjohn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I have been drooling over this thing for 3 years. I can't afford the pre-assembled one. But I do not have the free time to build it either... That and where would I put it? :)
- infectedRoot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0***** blog. oh well, nice link from above.
- bsoric, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That's the coolest thing I've ever seen. I am so going to make one. Or maybe I'll make one that uses a clip, so I can reload faster. Or, maybe I'll make a sniper rubberband rifle.
- tidejwe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0A Must-have for any paper-boy who already has billions of rubber-bands laying around.
- tetfsu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I can just imagine the new miller light commercial with Ted Ferguson utilizing this...
"Put that on my annual report" - Rich, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Dugg.
Does anyone want to buy the plans and post a link to them for everyone to download. :-) - TGDuff, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I bought a long-barrelled pistol rubberband gun from a Hawaiian flea market some time ago which I still have. I also had a smaller handgun type model which I have since lost. They are awesome. I have used them to pick off flies and spiders and such in the house.
- Robinh66, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I heard them talking about this on the Dragon Page podcast. Cool to see a pic! Yeah, I want one.
- StarCrusher, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Old news. I'm looking for a Gatling Spud Gun...
