The arms race continues, but only in more subtle, gentle ways than before. While nuclear weapons and “Star Wars” Space Defense Initiative lasers are already out of vogue, an enterprising British hobbyist with a lot of time on his hands created the ultimate weapon for one-upmanship – the DISINTEGRATOR.

                                             What's a mini gun without some kind of tripod?

Since the owner insists on “capitalizing” on his work of art’s popularity (online at least), the name isn’t “Disintegrator”, it’s DISINTEGRATOR – like you wouldn’t exclaim in capital letters if you saw one aimed at you – it’s that intimidating. Then again, getting hit by nearly 300 rubber bands in the space of 7 seconds will put the fear of William Hung and Renaldo Lapuz into anyone’s heart, most of all host Simon’s.

                                             The only thing left to do is to paint it black...

The creator…ermm.. created this device during his spare time, and even though made out of wood, looks quite polished. When in action, all thoughts of its looks vanish as it belches out a literal stream of rubber projectiles up to 22 feet. The only drawback of course is the “reload” time – it can take up to 5 hours to reload all of the 288 rubber bands that you expended. Make sure to “kill” your target on your first ammo load.

                                             A view from a place of power.

Thinking of one-upping that annoying office mate of yours who keep flicking paper bits and rubber shots at your noggin’? Then better get in contact with the guy, maybe he’ll make one for you if you give him a lifetime discount card for Office Warehouse.
