The rubber band gun is easy to play. Generally, the gun head and gear of rubber band gun have hooks to fix the rubber band. When the rubber band is stretched, both ends are hooked on the gun head at the front end of the rubber band gun and the gear behind the trigger respectively. When shooting, the rubber band will be released due to its own elastic potential energy. Shooting is the main purpose of all gun toys, which can increase the fun and competitiveness of the game.

Many manufacturers of rubber band guns will also give away gun targets with packages to improve the competitiveness of their products. Many manufacturers even design the gun target into a gear shape, so that the gun target and the gun body gear can be replaced. This ingenious design solves the problem that the gear of rubber band gun is easy to consume, and greatly prolongs the service life of rubber band gun. The traditional rubber band gun can only fire one rubber band "bullet" at a time, which also reduces the consistency and interest of the game. Some enthusiasts have improved the design of gears so that the rubber band gun can be fired repeatedly.

There have been foreign netizens uploading their own rubber band guns on well-known foreign video platforms, which can be repeated about 700 times. Of course, this rubber band gun that can shoot 700 rounds at a time may be more suitable for "enthusiasts". For ordinary collectors or children, the continuous firing within ten rounds is already "cool".
