The extra rubber is stored like a casual magazine.

More than one year after the first working gun created here at home, I have decided to create an updated version. This new model has improvements such as shot distance (now 5 meters), design and rubber storage system.

THE MECHANISM:

Since the creation of the original mechanism above, it hasn`t changed a lot but the distance and the strain energy in the rubber must be more powerful to achieve a longer shot length.

THE DESIGN:

My main goal for this new version was to add more realism and details by doing this curved arc around the trigger like normal guns. It didn`t take me so much time to think as I had already thought of it before but I had to think on the system which would attach both sides. The other main function I added to this gun was an extra ammo/rubber storage. It isn`t the most sofisticated and isn`t easy to store but I am sure that in future versions it will be something to improve.

I also hope you check out the video below which shows more or less the power of the gun.
