Perpetual Kid invites everyone to indulge their inner child with a cool update on rubber band shooters with the Fireband, Elastic Band Gun, which retails for $9.99 and comes with 20 rubber bands to start you off.
This slick weapon-of-choice is a must-have for the home and definitely will be a big hit at any office space near you!
Implications - Perhaps what's scary about this toy is that it represents variations of guns. If you're thinking small, the handgun should do. If not, you can always go for the AK47, the Magnum, or what appears to be a Gatling gun for some more fire power. Now while the kids probably can't bring this to school, the adults might consider bringing it in for an all-out office war.
