To reload the gun, start by finding some good rubber bands. Hook one end of the rubber band to the front of the gun's body. Then, pull it back, starting from the bottom of the back of the gun and building it up to prepare for firing. When you’re ready to fire, push the rubber bands off from the top, not the bottom. Repeat this process to reload.
