  • Keep Your Gun Down: While loading and carrying your RBG, keep your gun pointed at the ground. Treat it like a real gun and only point it at things you intend to shoot.
  • Helmets On: Only fire a Rubber Band Gun at targets that are fully geared. Even though we are using Rubber Bands, they can still cause injuries.
  • Safety Standards: All bullets and guns must meet appropriate safety standards, such as no exposed zip ties, appropriately powered bands, and no sharp or dangerous attachments on the weapon itself.

  • How To Load: With the gun pointed down, position the band tape in the barrel and pull back over the trigger mechanism. Always be prepared for a misfire.
  • A Gun As A Side: Only while a gun is unloaded, may you use it as a defensive side. Treat it as you would a deathstick.
  • Being Hit with a Rubber Band: The same rules apply to a rubber band as the tip of a sword for strikes and kills. If a rubber band strikes a weapon or a side, it is considered broken and removed from the fight until you Rez.
  • Gleaning/Collecting Bullets: Unless otherwise stated, you are not able to glean fired bullets for reuse. Additionally, you are responsible for collecting all the bullets you fire, so pay attention to where you fire them, where they land, and how many. You could also pick up any bullets that hit you as a common courtesy.
  • Defending Against an RBG: It’s possible to dodge bullets or sacrifice a piece of equipment, but remember that most RBGs only have one shot. It may cost you or a teammate a single life, but you can’t let the RBGs scare you away from the fight.
  • DFB with an RBG: As with with a sword it is possible to kill an opponent from behind with an RBG. Instead of firing a rubber band into their back, safely lay the barrel on their shoulder and follow the standard DFB procedure. The loaded bullet is considered spent if your ammunition is limited.

  • Load ’em Up: Practice loading the gun properly.
  • Shooting Range: After loading, practice aiming and firing your RBGs to get a feel for their accuracy and range. You can also practice what to do if your RBG misfires.
  • Take the Shot: While fully geared and at a reasonable distance, practice getting shot by various RBGs. Acquaint yourself with how they feel and what to do when you are hit.
