Description

I had a blast (no pun intended) with uhltimate's rubber band gun.  The design is genius the way the holes are angled to keep the filament pins from walking out of the gun.  I ran into a few issue limitations - not because of the design - but the limitations of the material used.

  For me at least, the wheel and trigger would get hung up if using more than 5 rubber bands.  This was because of the filament rod flexing from the pressure of the rubber bands pulling the wheel closer to the trigger sear.  

The next issue I ran into were the rubber band wearing out quickly due to the sharp corners on the wheel and barrel (muzzle section).

Lastly, rubberband guns should have a nice trigger job!

You will need 2 screws:  M2x16, and M2x20 (an M2x22 would also work).  You can direct thread them into the frame (no nuts needed).  If anyone need a different screw diameter - let me know and I can set that up pretty quickly.

I did the following changes below and released them to the children for testing - so far so good.

Changes made:

  • Chamfered/Beveled the edges of the wheel and barrel to put less wear on the rubber bands.
  • chamfered the trigger face edges to make it more comfortable.
  • Reduced the sear engagement between the trigger and the wheel (gave it a trigger job)
  • modified the frame, trigger and wheel to direct thread M2 screws
