I remember back in the olden days when we had one rubber band for the ammo and the trigger was top-mounted on the gun as a clothespin! Damn kids; they've never have had it rough...
No one will EVER blieve me, but I was ROBBED with a rubber band gun.
I am not sure if giving the details of a home made gun is legal or not, but those things were able to shoot a real bullet (a pistol, or an Israeli Thompson usually.)
This was back in africa, some of you might know what I am talking about, I will just give you some hints, and see if you can picture it.
Ingredients: 1) a cable of tire tube (American cars no longer have this, but back in africa, car tires were hollow, and they have a balloon like tube that goes between them and the rims. The tube is the black thing that some poeple swim with, if you ever been to a latin american or african beach.) You just cut an long stripe off of the tube, and this is a very hard rubber.
2) wooden skeleton (your favorite gun shape, we had ones that even had the curvy magazine of a Kalishnikov.)
3) a metal pipe. The longer, thinner, the more accurate.
4) an L shaped piece of steel, with a pointy end.
5) a long hard nail (this is curved on the wood, and used to hold the bullet.)
Steps: ------ If you arranged the above in some special way, put a bullet in the nail loop, and some how used the L shaped steel like an arrow and a bow, you would be able to shoot a real amu.
The bullet will fly straight, and the left over "butt" (what do you call it.) would be left in the nail loop (sometimes, if the nail is too weak, it would jump and hit you right between the eyes.)
Finally: -------- This is ALL finctional, and figment of my imagination. I bare no responsibilty for anything that results from following it. Grow up, and enjoy it as fiction.
Get one of these. When you see a student not paying attention in class fire one at him. When he complains fire another.
He'll duck the second one.
Now say to him. "Why did that second one not hit you?"
He'll say:"I ducked".
Now say: "And why did you not duck the first one".
He'll say: "I was not paying attention".
End with: "And who's fault was that?".

Last time I started a cubicle war with a good stock of rubber bands I ended up with a bruise on the top of my back that was an exact outline of the continent of Australia. It lasted three days.

My 8th Grade music teacher was an oddball. One day, close to the summer, he decided he'd had enough with the drummers in the orchestra. They didn't do anything but bang as loud as they could on the snares and tympani. They didn't listen to anybody - they were probably all deaf at that point anyway.
Well, J.B. (the music teacher) decided to get even. He took a huge rubberband (about three or four feet long unstretched) and a six foot pole with a hook on the end. You know the kind - they're used to open high windows. He added the band to the hook, held the pole with one end and the free end of the 'band with the other.
Thus equipped, he swaggered out of his office, took aim, and winged the band full force into the side of the bass drum. It was like a thunderclap. He looked at the instigators over the top of his half-moons, said "You're next" and grinned like a maniac.
It shut 'em up for a whole day.:)

If shooting rubber bands at cats is funny, then shooting them with bb guns must be hilarious.

Actually I did shoot a BB gun at a cat once, I still laugh when I think about it. Shot the cat in the butt with my BB gun pumped once. That damn cat jumped 4 feet in the air and took off like a lightning bolt. Then he fell asleep on my bed that night, cat's dont hold grudges.
Oh yeah, and I am not a serial killer or child molestor, contrary to what psych teaches about people who torture animals;)
I'm impressed...I had to scroll down more than half the comments section to find the "i'm so fucking great for knowing about this before slashdot" post.
Then again, I guess that's a little slow for slashdot. I was banking on seeing this as the third comment.

These guns should come with protective eyewear for managers/clients who come within range.
