Welcome
to BandGuns.Com, one of the very few websites online selling rubber
band guns designed for use with Society For Creative Anachronism,
Empire of Chivalry and Steel, and LARP rapier combat.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
25th , 2008: New Guns To Be Built
The
available stock is starting to dwindle, so within a few weeks I'll
be getting back into the shop and building a new stock of guns (hopefully,
with one or two new models thrown into the mix).
All
our pieces are crafted individually by hand, and are based upon
illustrations or photographs of flintlock, wheel lock, and matchlock
firearms used from 1500-1660, 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.
