Want to zap some Bionicle creature that's using up your TECHNIC pieces? Check out the several large RUBBER BAND GUNS on http://www.lkmachines.com that have photo-sequence building instructions, videos, LDraw models, or Lego Digital Designer (LDD) files. Of particular note are these impressive models:

Here's a link to a Lego "Police Gun" that shoots rubber bullets (Competition Arrows): http://www.bouwvoorbeelden.nl/home_eng.htm . There are PDF instructions avaiable there. The webpage says: "This weapon features rubber bullets (Lego competition arrows) to shoot down intruders in the area....The gun uses a standard canon device and a suspension unit in the trigger mechanism. Takes about 15 minutes to build."

My favorite one is this

. This video has been around for several years now, but it's still impressive to watch.

Lego and guns will always be a strange combination to me but what the hell, they sure do look fun to play with. It's not like i'm one of those nutters that blame playing with toy guns or violent video games for turning children into thugs!

Here's more about the 96-studs-long (69 cm, 27") "Ultimate Lego Chaingun" that "CP5670" talked about above: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/22386 . Its features include:

* "8 barrels, 64 (+) shot capacity, up to eleven rounds per second continuous fire rate."

* "The motor driven barrels start winding up to speed at the flick of a switch on the handle. Pulling the trigger unleashes a stream of rubber bands, deluging the target. The fire rate is high enough that at least half a dozen bands are in the air at any one time – the gun appears to fire a single very long chain of them. It’s as much like using a hose pipe as firing a rubber band gun. It also sounds fantastic because each mechanism makes a distinct click as it discharges a rubber band."
