How to fire an elastic band

"You want a medal?"


That reply is a bit harsh isnt it? ;)

Hair go goes are good. You can use the little metal bit right to hit them with it. Hurts like a b*tch.
 
best way is to cut a long thin strip of paper, roll it up and fold it in half.
Its amazing how much a little bit of paper can hurt :D

So how do you wipe your arse with it then? :rolleyes:

And if it hurts maybe you're pushing too hard :D

But that's not firing an elastic band, that's firing a piece of paper with an elastic band.

Bent paper clip hurts more.
 
i remember folding paper up and using elastic bands to propel them at amazing speed while at school, I never managed to figure out how my mate used to be able to use them to give me a dead leg accross the room :eek: it really did ert! :(
 
Or make a dart, using a pin, 4 matches, bit of paper, and a bit of bluetac.

I remember years ago, some nutta chucked one across the classroom and it ended up going through some poor sods ear :p
 
I used to get really thick elastic bands and go behind my mate and while he wasn't looking, pull it back as far as it can go and kaboom it at his neck. Must have killed!
 
Cool'ness over power, imo.

Hold an 'end' of the band against your palm with your ring finger. Make a gun shape with your hand, wrap it around the back of your (upright) thumb and put the end on the end of your pointing finger. Let go with your ring finger to fire.

I dunno why i bothered writing that, but in all my years through school, uni.. and work, i've never ever seen anyone else do it that way. You dont get the most power, but the action poses you can pull really make you king :D
