No comment would be sufficient.

Now, just need pictures of a purdy, long-legged woman with that thing...

one way or another, you REALLY need to do something with your urges......it is now translating into drool on my screen...  ;D

 

[Greymatters]

Mmmm, I think I want one - it would certainly liven up the next virtual conference...

 

[Koenigsegg]

Exactly.  I'm sure I know some teachers/instructors who would like to have one of those.

 

[ammocat]

I definitely want one, it could be used to teach basic ballistics and keep students awake.

And a radical blow gun for those high accuracy shots:

Wow, some folk really DO have too much time on their hands....where's IA's & stoppages?

Weapon fires, Weapon STOPS!!!

IA - look
Stoppage - empty rubber band magazine
Reload with fresh ruber bands
Continue firing!!

Does one need a Rubber Band Acquisition Certificate  ?

 

[Spanky]

Exactly.  I'm sure I know some teachers/instructors who would like to have one of those.

For sure!  I would love to have one in my desk drawer.  When one of my grade 8s gets silly and flings an elastic, I would pull that out.

Yep, it's all fun and games.....until someone loses an eye :tsktsk:

Then we call it a "sport" >

Hmmm, yes, I see your point. Then the kids will see it as an extra gym class, which would be considered a reward.  We can't have that!  :tsktsk:

For those interested http://www.projectsinmetal.com/video-full-metal-rubber-band-gun/ has a PDF of the plans so that anyone can make their own (or attempt to at least)

I wonder if one could get a small business stimulus package loan in order to start up a company.  It could help to diversify the economy.

Thanks for the link JBoyd.  I don't work with metal - but I'm pretty sure I can duplicate that in hardwood (I have some maple and cherry laying around - which should turn the trick).

If I do it (I'd need a fair bit of "idle time" in the shop), and it works, I'll post pictures.

There is also a site out there, www.backyardartillery.com, that sells a rubberband machine gun or plans for it, other models, trebuchets which can launch a golf ball some distance and other things.

Potato cannons......big ones......

That could be a tough one.  There may be a prohibition against the use of publicly funded economic development programs to support the private production and distribution of "weapons of mass destruction".
