Too much time on his hands?


Courtesy of BoingBoing, we learn of the Disintegrator.




It's a full-auto rubber-band gun. According to the inventor's Web site, it has 24 revolving barrels, carries a full load of 288 rubber bands, and can fire over 40 bands a second (2,400 per minute, if you can reload fast enough!).

The video below shows the Disintegrator in action. WARNING: the video has the loudest and most obnoxious music I've heard in a while, so turn down the volume or shut the speaker off entirely!



*Sigh* . . . boys and their toys!

It's things like this, and spud guns, and huge devices that hurl pumpkins that emphasize why engineers should never be unemployed.
