Classroom rubber band fights will never be the same if the Rubber Band Machine Gun is successfully funded. This fully automatic weapon of elastic destruction was built by the folks over at XYZbot. It is powered by batteries and is capable of firing 800 "rounds" per minute.
In addition to being a fun toy, XYZbot says that its Rubber Band Machine Gun can also be used to teach kids about building and electric motors. The automatic rubber band gun comes comes disassembled, but all you need to put it together is a screwdriver and a pair of pliers. XYZbot is seeking $10,000 of funding for its project on Kickstarter and is currently sitting at $2,900 worth of funding. A donation of $49 or higher gets you your own Rubber Band Machine Gun.
