Heck, forget Iran. What if Judi gets one, Dave? Might make you feel a little different about all those times you've threatened to fire her...

Puts this on Judi's Christmas List.

I coulda sworn the laser-sight made a happy face.

We would only use it for peaceful, cigarette pack knocking-over purposes, of course.

It could use a better sound effect, like 'whooomph.' Right now I bet it just sounds like 'click-boing.'

click-TING-aaiiEEEEEE!

Made from recycled erector sets.

I have a wooden one that works the same way, but this is way better, especially with the music.

I gotta have it!

Ok, so I gave ya both barrels. I was aiming for the bot.

Does it come with the soundtrack? Gotta have the music!

Posted by: emkay | 02:11 PM on October 6, 2008

That'll make killing flies a hellovalot more fun.

Can you use hollow-point rubber bands in that?

Posted by: Meanie the Blue | 02:17 PM on October 6, 2008

Cheese - my thoughts exactly.

Ok, translation of above: I think I swallowed a rubber band.

Posted by: circuit7 | 02:30 PM on October 6, 2008

Not only a laser-guided rubber band gun...but a semiautomatic laser-guided rubber band gun.

With a folding vertical foregrip, and fully ventilated barrel shroud, even.

You'll probably need to visit a stocking FFL dealer to get one. And undergo a waiting period...**

**I'm wondering if the vertical foregrip, menacing appearance and lack of other "sporting" features would actually cause the DJSARBGMkI (Deadly Japanese Semiautomatic Assault Rubber Band Gun, Mark One) to be excluded from importation by the BATFE as "not suitable for sporting purposes" under Sec. 922(r), as have certain other types of so-called "assault weapons."

Also, the Feds say that putting a vertical foregrip on a pistol makes it an AOW ("Any Other Weapon") under Sec. 922(o). So even if they'll let them into the country, you might need a federal tax stamp to legally own it...

Forget Iran. What if Jack Bauer gets a hold of one?
