One of the coolest makeshift toys of the Soviet era was a staple gun.
Almost every Soviet schoolchild did this to himself for fun, for shooting at banks.
Let's start manufacturing. On the board, we make a drawing of the shape of the future pistol. It depends only on your imagination.
Using a hacksaw, we cut the workpiece.
We round off the edges of the gun with a knife and file so that it lies comfortably in your hand and looks more attractive.
Further from any hard wire (I took copper) we make such a detail here it will be a trigger. Pull the trigger through the barrel of the gun and secure it with self-tapping screws in the place where it should stand. Screw the screw.
We take any good gum (I took a fishing one) and fix it. It is advisable to wrap the trigger with rubber tape electrical tape. We measure out a piece of gum of the desired length and make such a loop. Then we twist the elastic band and make the exact same loop on the other end. We twist two screws and fix the elastic on them.
We make such cartridges from aluminum wire using pliers.
To charge our gun you need to hook the cartridge into the gum, pull it and fix it with the trigger. You can shoot.
