Rubber Band Guns (TOY) - Romulus and Remus

thingiverse

PLEASE NOTE: THESE ARE DESIGNED AS TOYS AND/OR COLLECTIBLE ITEMS AND ARE NOT MEANT IN ANY WAY AS WEAPONS AND ARE MERELY FOR ENTERTAINMENT AND PLAY ONLY. I have no intention of them ever being anything more than a harmless toy and I believe that they clearly adhere to the community guidelines, if not please let me know and I'll take the files down immediately, I don't mean to cause offense or upset. A pair of rubber band guns are created from plywood (4mm) in layers. The central slide that allows the trigger mechanism to function is sprung into place at the top. It also connects to an external slider on either side that can be pulled for rapid firing. The rubber bands are loaded onto the rotary "hammer", which is pulled backwards and latches with the slide and trigger. There is also a fang-shaped rubber band holder/magazine built into the front of the gun. Theoretically, by opening the magazine by sliding the latch then pulling the gap between the "fangs" across the top of the gun's twin, you can reload it. Named after the twins of Roman legend, Romulus and Remus are similarly painted black except for one being highlighted in red and the other in gold. The STL files should help guide assembly, I've included some images showing the process and a pdf provides templates for gluing and cutting directly from plywood.
