Strips of those "live rubber" inner tubes made great power bands for what are now euphemistically called, "slingshots". And circular slices made amazingly effective "ammunition" for the wooden "rubber (band) guns" we made for ourselves during toy-scarce WWII.

Yep, we used to fight over the Red tubes. I made many slingshots back in the day and rubber band guns also, but never made an automatic:).

Y’all must really be old as I am only 77 and don’t remember red inner tubes and all my sling shot bands were cut from 600 X 16 car tubes. Today I have 2 wrist rockets that I shoot marbles at what ever annoys me...
