When I was a kid, we made rubber band guns (momma did not allow us to "kill" each other) We did all kinds of things with them. We took split shot sinkers, and crimped them onto the rubber band. We killed flies with them. We endeavored to kill dragon flies with them. (not much success).
And, we TRIED to make a semi auto rubber band gun.
I just realized it this morning, that this little program has been running in the back of my head, for nearly 50 years. Using up valuable processor resources, and reducing efficiency, for other programs.
Well, check this out:

It's a SEMI Auto rubber band gun!

Wow. I can finally set that program aside. I can see what my kids NEED.

Y'know, Jeff Dunham, and "Walter"? Well, Walter often SAYS what we been thinking, and he has the gumption, (no repercussions!) to say it. Well, somebody done solved my problem!

Now, I can dedicate MORE brain space to survey problems, truck problems, and such like.
Merry Christmas to all. And, your grandkids gonna love these new toys.
I'm so glad somebody solved one of my biggest problems, I had as a kid. Semi auto rubber band gun. How awesome is that?

🙂

A "few" years ago (about 10?), someone at work told me about rubber band Gatling guns. Well, a couple days later, I was standing in the doorway to my bosses office and felt something hitting me. Fast firing rubber bands from said Gatling gun.

Yes, very fun to play with, even as an "adult".

Quite a variety to chose from as well:
