Here are the parts you will need for the gun:

Take two rubber bands and connect the two blue rods so that the slots on the ends of the rods make one straight line.
Step 2: Attach Trigger

Take the clothespin, and open it, and slide it on to one of the rubber bands on the barrel as shown.

Slip the last (and most powerful) rubber band into the slot opposite the trigger (clothespin).

To load, open the clothespin, pull back the launching rubber band, and put the end of the launching rubber band into the clothespin. You must then put a Nerf dart onto the barrel as shown in the second picture. Push the legs of the clothespin together to fire. Do not fire at eyes or face.
