Wage war against office boredom with your very own Rubber Band Machine Gun and take [homemade rubber band weapons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/makerworld-cyberbrick) to the next level.

Made by Alexander Shpetniy, a [designer from Ukraine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ukrainian-brand-rbtnk), the Rubber Band Machine Gun has launched on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antigun-water-toys-jayhayspray20-promotes-change-in-societys-relationship-w) and will ensure that no matter what kind of gun fight you find yourself in you'll always win—unless you're up against a real gun, in which case you will definitely lose. The construction of the Rubber Band Machine Gun is based on the Gatling machine gun principle. The body is made from oak plywood, holds 672 rubber bands per shooting session and fires at a rate of 14 shots per second.

What truly sets this modern rubber band weapon apart from the competition is the Fast Charger, which will let you charge 14 rubber bands simultaneously. War might be hell, but rubber band war is fun as hell.
