Toys of your youth

There was an extremely similar weapon made by the kids on my neighbourhood. It did not shoot rubber bands, but it did use rubber bands and a clothes peg. I cant remember the details but it was used to fir small projectiles of some sort.

We made our own dart guns too. Wasnt powerful enough for proper darts. So you had to use a needle, some split bamboo, and the back end of a dart.

If you got the weight right, they would pierce skin effectivly.
