Good job. Looks like fun.

Welcome to Lumberjocks

-- Nature created it, I just assemble it.

I didn,t like the hard core sound ;) but you have made a good video and also clearly instructions. I also like the gun. Thank you for sharing.

That is a neat project. I have a plastic one that I bought at a craft sale.
I also like the build video and the attached videos on the lever action rubber band gun and the fully automatic one.

Thanks for sharing. ...............Jim

Thanks for the welcome everyone! I have made some other rubber band machine guns that I may try to lay out as well. There is a semi-automatic machine gun that uses the spoke wheel to fire rubber bands 1 at a time (it can only hole about 20ish rubber bands at a time though). I made one for my 2 oldest boys and they are fun, but this gatling gun is obviously funner :)

Thanks for sharing this! I’ve wanted to make one of these for a long time…

Too cool. Just the thing to get me in trouble with all the relatives. Nice work.

I love it. I’m glad you owned up to playing with it, because I was going to call you out if you tried to deny it. :-)

Yeah, I think I just tell my wife that it’s for the kids so she lets me spend more money and time on these projects than I should, but they are usually for me :)

That is incredible. Nice job and welcome to LJ’s!

-- I never finish anyth

Very interesting! I like to have one. Looks like a fun machine.

I would like to offer this rubber band advice: Basic science in shooting a rubber band
The rubber band will go further if there is rotation in the motion.
In northern hemisphere, the rotation is counter clockwise (right handed golfer would be a draw).
To create that motion the left side should have more tension to the opposite side.

Try it & compare to equal tension. Which version will go further?
