My kid's semi-auto rubber band gun, slightly modified:

Quoted:
He LOVES that gun... uses a belt to carry it, it's always cocked and locked. He recently lost it for pointing it at people, that apparently was the longest day in his life. ETA: each "shot" is two rubber bands. So what you're saying is it's basically the AN-94 of rubber band guns? Nice

Quoted: He LOVES that gun... uses a belt to carry it, it's always cocked and locked. He recently lost it for pointing it at people, that apparently was the longest day in his life. ETA: each "shot" is two rubber bands. I've a story: I was about 5 and had gotten a matching pair of Shootin' Fanner Fiftys with double holsters. These were the side loading pistols that you pasted a green cap on the back of a plastic cartridge and shoved a plastic bullet in the end that would actually shoot out the end of the gun. I had them for all of about 5 hours when I decided it would be a good idea to shoot my grandma in the butt... Grandpa didn't think it was funny and he took those pistols away. Sad day for a 5 year old Billy the Kid. Fast forward 30 years. Grandpa is up in years and in that phase of giving things to those who he wants to have certain things. I got all the guns. Well, I'm over one day and he gets up, goes to his room and comes out with a paper grocery sack that is just about disintegrated and says," Here, I think these are yours". There, in the sack, are the pair of brand new, with all accessories, Matel Shootin' Fanner Fiftys. They're worth about 800 bucks, last I checked. 'Course I'd never sell them. He finally left us this year. Moral of the story. Don't shoot your grandma in the butt, but if you must, do it with collector grade toys.  |
