Hey everyone, I’ve been working on this project for a while now, and I finally had the courage to finish it. This all started as a random idea, I wanted to replicate a semi-automatic mechanism but make it fun, so I thought, “Why not an elastic gun?”
I decided to design the whole thing in Fusion 360. At first, getting the mechanism for semi-auto firing was the trickiest part. I had to figure out how to create a trigger mechanism that could handle multiple shots with elastic bands without resetting it manually each time. After a few failed prototypes, I finally cracked the system, and the elastic bands fired off smoothly with each trigger pull(I may have stolen some inspiration online).
Then came the aesthetics. I modelled it after a Sig Sauer P320, which meant I had to balance form and function. It had to look good but also be ergonomic enough to actually hold and fire comfortably. The final version came together many iterations later, and I’m pretty stoked about how it looks and works.

Anyone else here designing custom stuff in Fusion 360? Would love to hear about your own projects!
