Oooo, fancy. When I was a kid we used rubber bands cut from
innertubes, and the gun was a rectangular block of wood, with a couple
of rubber bands holding a clothes pin at the back, with a galvanized
roofing nail for a trigger. Never heard one called a 'toy' rubber band
gun either, makes me wonder if there might be one out there that's NOT a
toy.

When I was a kid, we'd snap an antenna off a car, tape it to a block
of wood for a handle, use a rubber band with a cut-off nail through
it, and slip a .22 bullet into the antenna. Why the hell we didn't
blow a hand off, I dunno. I think we did that twice, though, and it
scared us enough so we never tried it again--first time, see if it
works; second time, show off to friends.
