Rubber band gun Rubber band gun A rubber band gun, often abbreviated to RBG, is a toy gun used to fire one or more rubber bands (or "elastic bands"). Rubber band guns are often used in live-action games such as Assassins, in which they are common and popular toy weapons. They are also common in offices and classrooms.

It is usually cheaper than an automatic or semi-automatic gun with fewer moving pieces. A semi-automatic rubber band gun is capable of firing at least three rubber bands when fully loaded. Semi-automatic rubber band guns are available in a variety of semi-realistic shapes, such as Luger-style pistols,
