MY rubber band gun was custom hand made to order in Italy, took me five years to get, and, if I do my part, will print two inch groups at twenty five feet all day long.
I want to put a suppressor on mine...............

Is anyone engraving their rubber band pistols?
Do you size the bands 357 or 358?
Yesterday I made a bunch of boolits for my rubber band gun
I can see a forthcoming problem: possible keyholing a distances over 20 yards. You might try another color.
I'm waiting for the newer version that will accommodate a red dot sight. Should work well for CCW.

No mention of Powder Coating the rubber bands. Should get exorbitant claims on higher velocity, less stretch of the band, slicker to use, etc. ad nauseum.....
Let's see; there's talcum powder, graphite powder, face powder, dust powder collected from dryers, and my oh my what could be found in the "powder room"..............

If you do PC/HT them do you need gas checks? Those could cause mass destruction.

I once had one that shot the caps from pop bottles. They would go flying like little freebies. Not very accurate, but fun for kids.
Careful---you'll take your eye out with that!!

the downside of rubber band propellant's is they are even more susceptible to deterioration from improper storage than are smokeless powders.

Thanks for the pictures - truly inspiring!
Now it's got me to thinking seriously about making one. I'm thinking a rubber band long gun though. I always liked to shoot muzzleloading round ball with fellows in a club I used to be in so I woke up last night sort of designing it in my head. I'm thinking something more along the line of a long gun similar to the old "market guns" that were 4 gauge. Lots of horses here in Arizona so cheap "road apple" projectiles that should be ballistically superior to my original thoughts of making a rubber band cannon and using one pound plastic containers filed with rabbit droppings - similar to "grape shot" concept. I figure a 42 inch barrel launcher with some good quality surgical tubing - have to keep the velocity below 750 FPS so the road apples don't fly apart which cold happen with the fresh ones. If the prototype works out, I can start making 'em in the garage . . . . get me a pair of them fancy night vision goggles that the Tallyban has on sale this month at their Uncle Joe Military Surplus Store and I'll be all set for night maneuvers . . . . . .SPLAT!
