Watching the slo-mo, seems there isn't enough push from the rubber bands. I see several not staying in the target. Maybe more bands and a longer pull would help make it stronger.
But, I have to admit, there was a lot of thought, imagination and engineering that went into this. Very cool.

On the other end of the road I live on there is a guy who manufactures several items, the biggest seller is the train whistle like you'd see at places like Tweetsie RR. One of the coolest I have seen come out of there was a rubber band machine gun.
Oh, and he is also a licensed automatic gun manufacturer.
 
German engineering at its finest! Spread to the world via american technology developed for the defense of our country (no, not Al Gore's version, DARPA's...), but made available to the whole planet! Very cool indeed!
