Rifle-style chopstick rubber band gun

An insanely cool rubber band gun!! [Rifle type]

This is a chopstick gun assembled into a shape like a rifle, clearly conveying a strong, powerful image.

Each part is made by aligning chopsticks and gluing them together, then assembling pieces of different lengths and widths into a rifle form.

The rubber band firing mechanism is simple: a rubber band hooked at the front is released by moving the trigger.

Because of that simplicity, the visual impression of strength depends on how much heft and presence you can express in other aspects.

You can showcase individuality by either making the most of the chopstick material itself or by adding solid decorative elements.

Rubber band gun made from disposable chopsticks and clothespins

[Craft] Super Easy! Rubber Band Gun Made with Chopsticks and a Clothespin #shorts #HandmadeToy #Craft

This is a chopstick rubber band gun whose trigger is a clothespin, launching rubber bands with impressive speed—its muzzle velocity is the main attraction.

The basic build is to fix one jaw of a clothespin to the end of a chopstick bundle, then create a notch at the tip to hook the rubber band.

How you bundle the chopsticks and how you secure the clothespin are both important; the firmer the attachment, the more stable it will be when the rubber band is stretched.

Its simple look—chopsticks extending from the clothespin—also makes it a great canvas for decorations to add your own personal touch.

Even grade-schoolers can make it! Triple-shot chopstick rubber band gun

[Even Elementary Schoolers Can Do It] Triple Shot! How to Make a Chopstick Rubber-Band Gun! This Time’s Enemy (Target) Was That “Guy” Again...!? [I Tried It] [I Made It]

You might think it’s just a simple chopstick rubber band gun, but it actually has a feature that lets you fire three rubber bands.

The building process is straightforward: attach a handle to a bundle of chopsticks that serves as the base, then install a movable trigger so that it’s sandwiched in place.

What’s crucial here are the trigger shape and the positions where the rubber bands are hooked.

By attaching three rubber bands at different positions, they will fire in sequence.

The hooking method for each band is also intricate, so doing that accurately is a key point.

Powerful! Chopstick Gun

[Craft] Easy 5 minutes! How to make a powerful rubber band gun with chopsticks — a rapid-fire rubber band gun. Great for a summer vacation craft. Check related videos for more details!

Prepare seven pairs of disposable chopsticks and plenty of rubber bands as materials.

First, use five pairs of chopsticks to make the main body.

Stack the chopsticks for the body alternately left and right so that about two-thirds overlap.

Secure them firmly at two points with rubber bands, then cut a notch at the front end to hook a rubber band.

Attach a short, cut chopstick to the rear of the body as the trigger, and glue another chopstick fixed in a V-shape behind that as the grip.

Your powerful chopstick gun is complete!

Rubber band gun with two materials

[Recommended for summer vacation crafts!] How to make a rubber band gun with just two materials!!

Here’s a simple rubber band gun idea you can make with about three pairs of disposable chopsticks and around ten rubber bands.

Split all the chopsticks into single sticks; leave three as they are, and cut the rest into three different lengths.

If you use a utility knife for cutting, handle it with care.

It’s also a good idea to sand the cut edges for safety.

Combine the cut chopsticks to build the body, grip, and trigger, and finally create a notch at the front end of the body where the rubber band will hook.

The body tends to be long and unstable, so reinforce it by bracing it from below with shorter chopstick pieces.

An exceedingly simple chopstick gun

I tried making a very simple rubber band gun with disposable chopsticks.

A simple rubber band gun made from disposable chopsticks and rubber bands is a craft project that both kids and adults can get hooked on.

However, the one introduced here is surprisingly authentic, with steps that even involve using a utility knife and a screwdriver.

Kids should make it together with an adult and enjoy the process.

You can also make targets easily with chopsticks, so once you’re done, you can have fun playing a target-shooting game! It’s simple, but you can customize it with a bit of creativity, letting you experience the fun of making things.

Be sure to build and play together—kids and adults alike—and enjoy a great time!
