We invented the RBG here in the USA! The Rubber Band Shooter is great fun and easy to load and use for hours of fun! As soon as you squeeze the spring-loaded handle it releases the rubber band. They take 12 bands unlike other copy products on the market from China. The Texas Long Barrel has style and history. It is great for the top drawer of your desk to win those Friday afternoon rubber band wars. Kid's love them because they fit well in the hand and are easy to load.
