The amazing "Lego Gatling RBP"

RBP=Rubber Band Pistol.
RB=Rubber Band.
INFO
This was my first Lego Gatling gun.
v.1 The first version could be loaded with 55+ rubber bands. It wasn't very robust and often broke.

v.2 The second version was more stable and didn't break and it shoot faster because of lower friction.

v.3 The third version is geared to spin faster and has a bigger barrel and thus allows more rubber bands to be loaded. It can be loaded with 102+ rubber bands, easily. It has a firing rate of about 6 rubber bands per second (102/16,65=6,1), faster at the end.

NEWER VERSIONS (not seen in the video)
The mechanisms on my Gatling RBPs works the same way as on my "simple fully automatic Lego rubber band gun 1": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMckKwB1wIg&feature=channel_page and "Simple Fully Automatic Rubber Band Gun2 (wooden)" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bm8_QcEi2Wo&feature=channel_page
The only difference is that the rubber bands are loaded on both the top and the bottom on the Gatling RBPs and the barrel rotates.

v.4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxqU3ednD3g&feature=channel_page has four barrels and can be loaded with 144+ rubber bands.

v.5 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRPfvQsCoR0&feature=channel_page has dual motors and a firing rate of 9,4 rubber bands per second and can be loaded 89+ rubber bands.

v.6 (I probably won't upload this because I have taken it apart) two Gatling guns with dual barrels put together. I didn't test it with full ammo but it would probably be able to be loaded with 102*2=204 RBs.

v.7 (I've already taken this apart but I may upload a video) Very slow firing rate maybe 1-1,5 RBs/s (if pulled by hand instead of motors it can fire faster, maybe 8 RBs/s), but it is loaded with 150x6mm rubber bands. I have loaded it with 37 RBs without trouble but I have made some changes so it could probably hold more.

CREDITS
Give credit to those that deserve it (example: I used ***********s mechanism).

I was inspired by koenigseggccr007's Lego minigun: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Co3QGEXCcC4 and this minigun from "OGG CRAFT": http://youtube.com/watch?v=XeDXVN52cHI
