Just like the real gun, the rubber band magazine is mounted on the top. There’s a clever gear of sorts that interconnects with the gun and feeds it rubber bands. There’s even an indicator to tell how much “ammo” you’ve got left. The whole gun is made out of wood and it looks pretty compact.

Inside, there’s a complex mechanism to allow you to shoot as many rubber bands as you want. Check it out in action in the video below:

I wouldn’t go parading this around though, it’s likely you’ll get arrested for carrying something that looks so dangerous.

The gun can fire up to 200 rubber bands in rapid succession, and yes, reloading is a bitch. It was made by a certain Mr. Nakamura, who has actually written a book about making rubber band guns. Here he is showing off his gun to an extremely overjoyed old man:

Mr. Nakamura is of course, a member of the Japan Rubber Band Gun Shooting Association. I’m not kidding:

If there’s any association worth joining, it’s that one. Of course the association’s name can also mean that members shoot at rubber band guns, but we’ve got video of Mr. Nakamura and his l33t rubber band gunnery:
