It looks like it's made of wood; it shoots rubber?

most likely rubber bands, kinda like a gatling gun.

each spike holds one end of a rubber band and then there is some kind of mechanism that flips it of, making it shoot forwards.

im guesstimating that it holds some 72 bands

btw, for those that dont feel so much like a craftsman:
