 Welcome
to BandGuns.Com, one of the only websites online
selling rubber band guns designed for use with Society
For Creative Anachronism, Empire of Chivalry and Steel
and LARP rapier combat. We also serve the Steampunk,
CosPlay and Renfaire communities with stylish, historically-accurate,
and realistic pistols. RBG's are the late-period equivalent
of combat archery in the SCA and ECS, and are a great
deal of fun when incorporated into average or larger-sized
melees. Many SCA kingdoms have incorporated RBG's into
the rules of fence as the principle missle weapon, though
there aren't many resources for people who cannot make
their own, or don't have access to SCA gunsmiths in
their general area. For that reason, we have started
this site to help equip the would-be trigger-happy fencers
throughout the Known World.
June
24th , 2009: Pennsic Rush
Recession?
What recession? The Pennsic Rush appears to
have started in mid-April, because the guns
are just flying out the door of our humble little
smithery! However we're trying to keep up with
the demand as best we can by adding new guns
every week or two (we have a dozen of them in
production as of today, with three new pistols
just finished and added to the website).
We're
now accepting credit cards. On the In
Stock and Other Items
pages you can add in-stock items to a shopping
cart and check out. If you have any difficulties
please be sure to contact
the gunsmith.

 All
our pieces are crafted individually by hand, and are
based upon illustrations or photographs of flintlock,
wheel lock, and matchlock firearms used from 1500-1700,
as well as a few variations and hybrids. A great deal
of care and effort goes into these pistols, the end
product we are aiming for is something that looks and
feels like the real thing, as best we can.To see what
bandguns we have for sale, go to the in-stock pages
to see all available items. Our guns are not made as
mass-production items, and our online catalog will vary
from time to time as guns are created or sold.Note:
All our pistols and rifles fire bands made from latex
rubber surgical tubing. These bands hit hard, so be
sure to use protective equipment (such as a fencing
mask) when shooting these at your friends... and we
suggest your friends wear a mask as well.
