With this rubber band pistol you can shoot rubber bands. The gun is pretty stable so you can even shoot very strong rubber bands. And while you are doing this you'll hold a gun in your hand which has a size and shape very equal to the real IMI Desert Eagle. Because of the natural length of the Desert Eagle the Rubber Eagle has a good range and is fairly accurate. The trigger mechanism of the pistol is very simple. The trigger releases a toothed wheel and this wheel releases the rubberband. That's all. Unfortunately I was not able to build a mechanism that was able to fire more than one shot in a row like the commercial rubberband guns. If you know of a simple mechanism that can be build with standard LEGO bricks and old LEGO Technic pieces feel free to help me out. You can find more informations, photos and building instructions on my Rubber Eagle website: http://www.ailis.de/~k/entertain/fun/rubbereagle/ -- Klaus Reimer
