This thing uses a rubber band to shoot a small projectile surprisingly far, and has a pocketable form factor.

⚠This thing could potentially be dangerous if firing the wrong projectiles at the wrong things, especially if you put a really beefy rubber band in it. This shouldn't be considered a kids toy; please be careful.⚠
I loved the original concept and design of this a ton, but I saw some areas I'd like to tweak to make it work better for me, so I decided to make a remix.
This remix is mostly a lot of small tweaks, with a few larger changes. I wanted something that was a little easier to use, and which I could put a really powerful rubber band in, without it snagging, breaking, or locking up. This design isn't perfect and there are still a few things I have in mind that need to be tweaked, but it's working pretty well and I like it so far, so I figured it was worth sharing now :)
I make all my changes in Blender, so I've also included my .Blend file, in case you'd like to easily modify it further. The file includes an animation, which makes it easier to see how all the parts interact. Make sure to export the parts on frame 0 if you do.
