@@ManannanmacLir69 I was born in Detroit, was plinking with my .22 at ten and grew up enjoying guns so I get ya, but ... my reality is that I find that living in a culture with far fewer guns gives me more freedom, not less.

Since I had two perfectly fine specimen myself I decided to give it a go with superglue, removed the strings and glued it together. Then added the strings and put the guitar in our crewroom at work for anybody to use it. That was 12 years ago now and it is still solid as a rock.

Use your limited brain power and create your own template from the concept. Clearly you have zero engineering skills and even less talent. Stick with what you know and stop being mentally lazy. Besides which - better to stay OUT of trouble - than build devices that will ensure you are imprisoned for being in possession of an offensive weapon - imprisonment would for a very long term should you cause grievous bodily harm - even in a self0defense situation - use of excessive force can lead to a prison sentence - So don't be STUPID

Cool, the only thing is that you should cut small metal tubings to protect the elastic from those 2 front agressive screws that are holding the elastic in place.
Personally, I'd have just used 2 Chicago screws. If you joined them together on the top of the barrel with a little bridge piece of metal, you could even have them double as a front sight for the gun as well. Then it's just as easy as unscrewing the underbarrel side of the screws & lifting both posts out as a whole unit by the front sight.
-I'm old now but when I was small in the early 60s some teenagers, some who were in streetgangs then made Zip Guns. I think they started making them in the 1930s up to the 50s to early 60s. They'd sneak & make 'em in wood or metal shop in school. Some guys did pretty good, some were shitty, but with a homemade wood pistol grip, rubber bands, a nail, old car antennas shortened up & a .22 bullet, you could wound somebody & at worst kill 'em. & if the job was crap the gun might either blow up or fall apart in your hands. But this here is a nice nail gun job.

I know, right? What immensely brilliant music! I couldn't stop dancing. It was so incredible. I bet it won a Grammy. My grandmother didn't agree though. She didn't like the music at all. Probably because she had diarrhea, again.
