This is a super cool rubber band wrist shooter i created while fiddling around with cogwheel k'nex guns.

Supplies

LOL i didn't see this one until the end just skip it.

Materials Needed

First get your items (sorry i'm on Chromebook i cant take pictures easily)

  1. 5 yellow connectors
  2. 1 orange connector
  3. 2 red connectors
  4. 1 white connector
  5. 4 connectors of your choice (purple one-clip connectors recommended)
  6. 4 blue poles

Take the red connectors and attach a yellow pole to each of them. Then, sandwich the wheel between them and put a blue rod into the holes (line them up perfectly!). Attach firmly by putting 2 of the connectors of your choosing onto the ends of the blue pole. It should look like this (images).

Building Up the Body

Take 2 more yellow connectors and put them on either side of a yellow pole. Repeat so there is two of these and attach to the other yellow poles we added onto the red connectors on step 3.

Trigger

Take a yellow connector and put a blue and yellow pole on opposite sides of it. Attach to body with blue pole and other 2 connectors of your choice by sandwiching in between back 2 open yellows and insert the blue pole into the holes. If your fingers are too short to fire swiftly, use a green pole instead of a blue one.

Front Band Holder

Attach the orange connector to the last blue pole by clipping the bottom of the connector to the middle of the pole. Clip onto front open yellow connectors of the body on either side of the orange connector.

Loading: Stretch rubber band from top white pole to front orange holder and MAKE SURE that the yellow part of the trigger is CATCHING the white wheel and keeps it still until firing.

Firing: Rest on your palm and put middle finger on blue part of trigger. Pull fast and swift for best range.

  4. Aim at faces with or without consent

  2. Use in an open space without any tripping hazards
  3. Aim away from yourself and others (i'm covering this twice because it is extremely important)
