Anyone Into Rubber Band Guns?

I'm thinking of buying one for several reasons:

1) I'm thinking of using it to blow away bugs I see around the house. I know I am good enough to kill flies on the wall shooting by hand, so I figure I can be more accurate and have some quick follow up shots with a rubber band gun.

2) Its seems like a fun idea - better than swinging with a fly swatter.

3) Guns and ammo are cheap (how often can you say a gun you want is cheap?)

I've never owned one - can anyone make some recommendations model wise?

Check out this gun I found for only only $29.95. Here are some of it's features:

# Variable Rate of Fire : With a little practice, you can accurately control both the rate of fire in full auto, and the length of bursts, or you can elect to fire in a single-shot / semi-automatic mode.

# Shotgun Mode : Select this mode and the whole magazine unloads as a single "shotgun charge".

# Folding Stock : Combined with the sights, this enables the Firewheel to be used as an accurate sniping rifle.

Magazine Capacity : 10-Shot

The site even has a video clip of the gun in action.

When was the last time your bought a select fire gun with a folding stock for under $30?:)

Not saying I need anything this fancy, really just looking for a good bug eliminator.

Detachable mags too, Cali legal to boot :p. Just throw away the vest and dorky glasses.

I personally prefer a revolver for my insect defense needs :D. Ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-NERF-N-STRIKE-MAVERICK-MICRO-BLASTER-TAG-DART-GUN_W0QQitemZ170103919749QQcmdZViewItem)

I used to use my C11 AirMag airsoft gun, but it left little dents in the wall, PITA to patch.

When I was in the Navy, I carried one like the double-barrel dueler, named “Hog Leg”. You could double-load each “chamber” and increase your firepower. Fun times in the barracks! I had it a couple of years before an ex-girlfriend broke it. I would highly recommend getting one.

I guess this is what happens when they dont let gunsmiths smith guns. He makes some really brilliant stuff, but none of them are for sale.

I was just playing with my 9 year olds "M16" rubber band gun.
