Courtesy of BoingBoing, we learn of the Disintegrator.
It’s a full-auto rubber-band gun. According to the inventor’s Web site, it has 24 revolving barrels, carries a full load of 288 rubber bands, and can fire over 40 bands a second (2,400 per minute, if you can reload fast enough!).
The video below shows the Disintegrator in action. WARNING: the video has the loudest and most obnoxious music I’ve heard in a while, so turn down the volume or shut the speaker off entirely!
*Sigh* . . . boys and their toys!
