ROKR Tommy Gun Doesn't Shoot Rubber Bands
My wife ordered me the ROKR Tommy Gun model for Christmas. The precision of the parts was great, and everything fit together perfectly. The final model is exactly as it appears in the product description. So why did I give it 1 star? The rubber band firing mechanism simply does not work. I checked all the appropriate action during construction, but the final product just doesn't work. My suspicion centers on the action spring and the trigger mechanism. The spring is not strong enough to operate the action and reset the trigger with each rubber band launch. There is also too much play in the slide making the trigger reset too weak. The wooden cartridges do not eject from the drum properly, again because of a weak spring and slide mechanism. Putting it together was fun, and took about 8 hours. But do not expect a functioning rubber band gun at the end of the process. At best, you'll have a model to put on the shelf.
