I have a Rabaser high tech rubber band gun and am in need of ammunition.
This gun dates from the mid 80's and is of very high quality manufacture by
Wayne Arms Company of Overland Park Kansas. Do you have a resource for the
"Baser band" latex ammuntion or any contact for the Wayne Arms Company. I
can not find a web or phone contact. Even Google comes up empty. Thanks.

You should be able to modify one of these sizes, or they might even work as-is.

What an impressive looking gun!
#From the image, it looks like the ammo is just thin rubber tubing, connected with a short plastic piece? I've never seen one of these.
Anyway, go here: http://slingshotforum.com/forum/93-slingshot-bands-and-tubes/
and look at the Chinese tubing section. You can get high quality tubing in any conceivable dimension here.

I have been looking for mine since I saw your post and finally found it.
It was in one of my gun safes of all places. :-)
With the box, gun, gun case, original papers, and the receipt dated
02/23/84 were two packages of the rubber band ammo. One pack marked
"standard velocity" and the other marked "high velocity". Of course I
had to try them but no joy...broke three in a row. As they were in a gun
safe at 52 degrees F I thought they might have been a bit cool thus I am
currently letting them warm up to around 70 and then will try a couple more.
An no, I have not found a place to get the original ammo. OTOH, if you
need another gun there are a couple on Ebay ($199 and $259).

I found while cleaning out an old gun closet 6 packages (10pcs ea) of the standard
velocity bands and 3 packages of the "high velocity" with original receipt from Wayne
Arms Company dated 4/1/1985
I was tempted to make use of them. But I could be convinced to sell them, All bands
are in original packaging and were in a dark closet with the ziploc style bags sealed
still containing the silicone wiper pads in each bag.
Let me know if you are interested.

I just inherited one from my dad. Everything was in the box. All the paperwork, even the ammo.
But after 30 years all the ammo rubber had broken. I have photos but not sure how to upload them.

I have a rubber band pistol but it is not as slick as this one - just
plain wood. Rubber bands not as fancy. Also has a spinning target you
can shoot at.

I worked for Wayne Arms and in fact used to manufacture the bands. We would
use surgical tubing and connect the ends with polypropylene cable. The ends
of the connecting cable would be given a rough texture using a dremel tool
and sanding paddle tip we made. We would roughen the ends then attach to the
tubing using industrial cyanoacrylates (super glue). We also would treat the
bands using D.M.S.O. (dimethyl sulfoxide) as a softening agent before roughing
the ends. If you have any other questions let me know. :D

If a person got some surgical tubing (the correct diameter) and some correct diameter string trimmer line could you make your own?

Waine Arms Company , 9125 Borton, OVERLAND PARK KS 66214 is the last address know for order ammunition as it is informed on the original RABASER Pistol Owner's manual.
