Hand Rubber Band Pistol(Rubber Band)

This rubber band acts as the projectile and also the source of force (it holds potential energy when it is stretched and released kinetic energy when it is release from being stretched) to move the projectile from the gun to another area . The hand just acts as a mold for the rubber band.
