What happens when tou have to much time

"You've gotta admire folks who bring their trade to a whole new level, even if that does mean escalating the international arms race between builders of automated, wooden, rubber band miniguns. The 24-barrel, tripod-mountable monster you see above, lovingly known as the Disintegrator, was rather amazingly hand-carved and assembled by Anthony Smith of the UK, who spent four months on the ambitious build. Unlike your dinky little six-shooter, this model boasts a 288-band capacity and 40-round-per-second firing capability, making it one of the most dangerous weapons to remain unbanned by the TSA. To see this wonder in its full operational glory, you simply have to check out the video after the break."

Looks like there's more than one band per "barrel"

[OLLIE 26]

12 bands x 12 barrels per rotor = 288 rounds.

the only thing that had me stumped was the 12 bands causing the firing mechanism to stick, obviously they don't though because all the tension is in the right direction anyway.

i want one now!

C'mon design guru! Rip one out

You can do it in CAD first if you prefer

Make it entirely out of glowsticks - used ones
