6 Shot rubbber band desert eagle. Prints in 4 flat sections, plus the pins to hold it together. Can be printed from any material but for longevity i suggest printing the sides and the pins from PETG or ASA.

The pins have been designed for a tight pressure fit so no glue is required, you can always heat seal the ends of the pins for a more permanent connection. However i suggest leaving the middle handle pin removable incase the trigger elastic needs replacing. The tension of the rubber band will hold this pin in place well enough.

Assemble one side, with the centre piece and the trigger. As shown in the image, using a single elastic band. Hook one end over the handle pin, feed the other end through the trigger and pull it back down over the handle pin again. 

Once the band is in the place, fix the other side section in place. Assembly complete!.

Loading the gun. To ensure the bands fire in order load them starting from the lowest step and finishing with the highest. 

It was modeled to fit an adult hand but can be scaled smaller if you prefer. Just make sure to pay attention to the thinnest part of the trigger to ensure it doesn't become too thin at your chosen scale and scale all parts equally. 

For my particular print i used ASA for the sides and pins, PLA for the trigger and centre (it's what i happened to have). The pins i printed standing upright and solid, which in ASA feels plenty strong enough. If you use a weaker plastic i suggest printing them laying flat for better layer strength.
