If you used to wrap rubber bands around your fingers to throw them at colleagues and other not-so-well-liked people, you can now invest in a much more efficient toy that can produce slightly more severe pain. The weapon above was created by Bob Coulston at the request of his own children, and, as recently, this considerate father decided to bring the invention to the world through the internet.

To this end, Coulston created a project on the Kickstarter site and has already far exceeded his fundraising expectations: with 15 days left to finish the deadline, the amount raised is more than $ 25, 000 ($ 52, 400) ) the expected amount.

How does this toy differ from the others? Well, this weapon is available in two versions with very unique features. The Outlaw model is a 14-piece laser cut kit that can be loaded with up to nine rubber bands and has two modes of operation: Single Shot, which shoots a single projectile, and Rapid Fire, which makes the weapon functions as a kind of elastic machine gun.

The “Sheriff” version supports up to 10 rubber bands and has three shooting modes: in addition to the “Single Shot” and “Rapid Fire” present in “The Outlaw”, this model also operates in “Shotgun Blast” mode, which shoot all the elastics at once, hitting the target for real. Sounds like a good Christmas gift, doesn't it?
