(this is variation, but you get the idea)
That's crazy-cool! Looks like it would be almost as much fun to build as it would be to fire.

im guesstimating that it holds some 72 bands
here is is a video of what I'm trying to copy:

on each peg you can put 3 rubber bands

i can see how that can work after seeing the video you linked to, as the rope used for rotating the brarrels also does the firing.

and by putting it in front of the same peg row multiple times allows for multiple bands to be fired.

must be a ***** to fully load tho

Very cool.

I wish the lighting in the video was better... Can't actually see the rubber bands shooting.

Yes this is the most dangerous part of the exercise, going to hospital with elastic band shrapnel wounds is not something you tell your grandkids.
