Metal Gear Solid Rubber Band Gun is the Most Badass Way to Take Someone's Eye Out
Posted by Adam Frucci at 8:20 AM on September 26, 2008
Are you a big Metal Gear Solid 4 fan? Interested in playing around with Solid Snake's, uh, rubber band gun? Well, a crazy Japanese fan has created a completely metal rubber band gun based on the game, dubbed the Silver Wolf. It even has a laser sight onboard, allowing you to precisely aim at your little brother's eyeball so you're sure not to miss. For added realism, dress up in tights, hide under cardboard boxes and get into long-winded, confusing conversations that last for what feels like forever between short periods of action when you actually get to use the damned thing.

Looks like a metal version of the Firewheel. i suspect costing a lot more then the Firewheel though.

I believe I counted a 10 rubber band loading capacity and with laser beam accuracy I can be the terror of the Friday afternoon ofice war (ok, so I am already the terror of it, but this could SO raise the stakes).

First Airsoft, now ultra-powerful rubber band guns. Man, Japan is leading the charge in alternative firearm technology.

At the 3 foot range that thing was shooting at it could have onboard blindfolds and I would be able to hit the cigarette pack (or pack of cards). I'd love to see that laser help me be accurate with the rubber bands at over 10 feet.

@Curves Wants a Classic View Default: I call bull. If you're already the terror of your office wars, you wouldn't need this, as it won't raise the stakes, but effectively stop the whole office wars bit.
Methinks you need this because you're not doing so well in the trenches, and I'm sure this fits the bill.

"a laser sight onboard, allowing you to precisely aim at your little brother's eyeball so you're sure not to miss"
I think the laser would have done the blinding work there. Ouch.

Very impressive...me want! Also
"hide under cardboard boxes and get into long-winded, confusing conversations that last for what feels like forever between short periods of action when you actually get to use the damned thing" is spot on. I never cared for the games much - got bored of MGS4 after 30mins. GOW >> MGS

I fired a wooden contraption with a similar firing mechanism many years ago. It didn't have lasers or IR. This guy could make a fortune!

It would be easy to make it so it could fire multiple bands in a continuous stream like an uzi. For that matter you could add multiple wheels for more capacity, or maybe have the wheels mounted on a clip containing a wheel and a short barrel that is stretched into full length position like cocking a 45.

It doesn't look badass, it looks like an Erector set.

They missed the best bet though. What about full automatic firing? Maybe there is a "sporterize" kit to add that feature.
