How to Make a Rubber Band Gun
Rubber band guns have been around for generations, invented by imaginative kids who wanted more than just their fingers to launch rubber bands. These playful devices are making a comeback, with crafted models now available that resemble real weapons like rifles and pistols.
If you're interested in creating a simple rubber band gun to entertain your friends, here's how:
Materials Needed:
- A 1x2-inch piece of lumber- A wooden clothespin
- Crazy Glue
- A nail (2 inches long, 1/8 inch thick)
- Hammer
Steps:
1. Prepare the Nail:
- Remove the flat head of the nail and smooth it down with a file.
- Mark where the clothespin will sit on the piece of wood.
- Drive the nail into the wood, leaving about 3/4 inch sticking out. Position it roughly 1/3 inch from the mark.
2. Drill the Clothespin:
- Drill a hole through the clothespin slightly larger than the nail’s width. Ensure you drill through both sides.
3. Attach the Clothespin:
- Apply glue to one narrow side of the clothespin, from the open end to the drilled hole. Avoid getting glue in the hole.
- Fit the clothespin onto the wood, making sure the nail goes through the drilled hole. Test the fit before applying glue for the best alignment.
4. Create the Rubber Band Holder:
- Cut a notch at the end of the wood, just below the top, to hook one end of the rubber band.
- Pull the other end back and hook it over the protruding nail.
5. Firing Mechanism:
- Open the clothespin to fire. The motion should push the rubber band off the nail.
6. Enhance Your Gun:
- For added flair, attach a shorter piece of wood underneath at a 90-degree angle to mimic a pistol shape.
- Place the nail and glue the clothespin at the back of the grip, increasing the stretch of the rubber band for a stronger shot.
