Free Rubber Band Gatling Gun Blueprints
FREE Gatling Rubber Band Machine Gun Plans – Easy Weekend Project Posted on July 28, 2014 January 13, 2015 by ExactWorks Get ready to dominate your next rubber band gun fight. This is an instructional video showing how to build, load and fire the 'Simple Fully Automatic Rubber Band Gun 2 (wooden)'. The gun is loaded with 8, 6x150mm rubber bands in the video but it can be loaded with 20+ rubber bands if longer thread is used.
This super fun rubber band gatling gun project can be completed in a weekend with inexpensive material and basic tools that most people already have. There are easier ways to make some of these parts using expensive specialized tools, but we tried to make the entire guide more accessible by using basic available tools that anyone can use. Wave xtractor 3.2 crack download. The plans and templates are available for FREE to download on this site, and the method shown in the videos and described in this instructable will make it easy (even for a novice wood worker) to complete this project and start slinging rubber in no time! The gun can shoot LOTs of rubber bands, the only limiting factor to the number of rubber bands it can hold is how many rubber bands can physically fit on each barrel without slipping off.
The limit is very high though, and should be ample ammo to dominate any rubber band gun fight! There is a process to loading the rubber bands, and it's a little tricky at first, but by watching the video on how to load the rubber band gun, and practicing, you should be able to master the process in no time!
I enjoy making projects like this, and have used CNC machines and a laser cutter for similar projects, but access to those machines can be a problem (I only have access to the laser machine during school semesters). I am entering this into the EPILOG CHALLENGE VI contest (among others) and hope to win a personal laser machine to produce more fun projects like this one. If you like this project, PLEASE VOTE FOR ME! You will need the following tools to make this rubber band gatling gun: • Hand Drill - We did this all with a hand drill, but if you have access to a drill press, it will probably be even easier (but not required).
• Drill Bits (1/4', 5/8' and 3/4') - You will use these with the above mentioned drill. For the most part we used Spade bits, but that is just because they are cheap and come in lots of different sizes. Also, if you have access to a hole saw bit for your drill, the 2' spacers and 4' barrel rotors would be much easier to cut out, but again, you don't need those specialized bits, we will show you how to do it without those. • Jig Saw - This is to cut out the shapes of the gun parts, and we also used it to cut some of the dowels and other odds and ends.
You could also use a scroll saw if you have access to that (it would probably be easier), but again it's not required, a simple jig saw will work fine (will want a nice wood fine cut blade for it to ensure the cleanest cuts). • Wood glue - We just got a bottle of standard wood glue, nothing special required, just a good quality glue that will hold together and dry in a reasonable amount of time. • Sand Paper - We just bought a pack of 200 grit sand paper, and we still had quite a few sheets left over after the project was finished. If you have access to disc sanders, electric sanders, radial sanders, or belt sanders it will save you some time, but if you have enough patience, hand sanding the pieces is not bad at all. • Rubber Bands - As you will see in the video, I used rubber bands to hold the barrel together while I was gluing it together (I thought it was very fitting:).
If you have an assortment of clamps and vices, they may make assembly easier, but they are definitely not required. If you're building a rubber band Gatling gun, chances are you have a few rubber bands lying around anyways:) • Tooth picks - I use tooth picks to help apply the glue when assembling the gun, but they are just a personal preference.
