Rubber-band gun
January 30th 2008 -
Rare is the day that I get all linky and point people to something on the web. But I’m too excited to resist. It’s a site that shows rubber-band guns. Really, really good rubber-band guns. I used to make these out of lego when I was a kid – remember that, Sandor? – but although we designed a working gattling gun, it could only fire six shots, one per barrel. The string-and-pegs method of getting multiple rubber-bands out of a single barrel is truly ingeneous.
I’m still proud of my simple-but-deadly booby trap, consisting of two pieces of long technical lego held together lengthwise with a rubber-band. Sticky-tape one of the pieces to a wall, tie a piece of black thread to the other one, run it across the hallway, and recreate that scene at the end of “Where Eagles Dare”.

That was awesome. I am actually 100% in awe.
