London Guild of Assassins - Weapons

This page shows a set of examples of Assassins weapons.

1. Lanard Speedloader.

The Speedloader is an 8-shot foam dart gun. Darts are finger-length and rubber tipped. Gun is pump-action and must be pumped once for each dart fired.

Cost: £6, John Lewis, Oxford St (Toys department, obviously!)

2. Nerf Arrowstorm.
The Arrowstorm is a classic example of early-90s Nerf weaponry. Nowadays, few Nerf guns are available in the UK, but when they were, some of them were good. This is one such good gun.

Cost: Probably about £20, when it was on sale! You'd be lucky to find one these days, unless you're in America.

3. 12-shot repeater rubber band gun.
Classic wooden RBG, available from the Internet or from an apparently random selection of shops around the country.

Cost: Usually £10 incl target (pointless!) but I managed to find this one for £5 in a shop in Fishguard, Wales. That's half price!

4. Home-made 4-shot RBG
This RBG fires 4 thick bands. It uses two clothes pegs, each of which grips one band in its jaws, and another band between the peg and the hand-grip of the gun. The second-band firing mechanism is difficult to make.

Cost: Minimal, as long as you have the wood lying around in your garage... and the skills to make it!

5. Basic homemade RBG

This one I stuck together in a few minute, using a matchbox, Chap Stick, pen, folding comb and piece of wood - as well as a clothes peg and a lot of tape.

Cost: Nothing!!
