Mag Fed Mini Rubber Band Gun (Digital download) STLs
This new rubber band gun is in a class of its own, one that shoots bands from a MAGAZINE. It uses small “rainbow loom” bands, which allows the design to be compact. Unlike other repeaters or gatling guns on the market, this mag fed gun stores its ammo unstretched. This allows multiple mags to be loaded, and ready for action, for long periods of time without the worry of bands breaking due to fatiguing rubber. While other designs may change trigger pull weight or cocking force with each shot, this one stretches just one band at a time giving a consistent racking experience. There is a hollow grip for convenient band storage and an access bort in the slide for monitoring, and clearing jams.
Skill level:
Intermediate. This project requires intermediate knowledge of your slicer, E.g. support blocking and seam placement. The cleanup and assembly is straightforward.
