Wood Trick 3D Mechanical Model Gun Set Wooden Puzzle, Assembly Constructor, Brain Teaser, Best DIY Toy, IQ Game for Teens and Adults

My son was able to get pretty far assembling the first gun himself. He didn't get all of the internal moving parts lined up just right, so we had to pull it apart and make adjustments. Luckily, the round toothpicks we already had from the grocery store were identical to those in the kit. Due to childhood impatience and the reassembly process, we broke and had to replace many of the toothpicks that came with the set. A few other items really helped: 1) the piece of wax was good for moving parts AND helped when there was just too much friction to easily push wooden cut-outs onto the toothpicks without breaking them, 2) a flat wooden ruler helped apply even pressure over a larger portion of the more delicate cut-outs during assembly, which also reduced breakage, and 3) a pair of bent needle-nose pliers helped with the removal/insertion of toothpicks, and could easily break off the ends of toothpicks, when needed. It took time and patience, but the set came together well by following the instructions. The guns consistently shoot the rubber bands straight and with good speed. My son loved how you could load up four rubber bands to get four shots off before having to reload. What a fun toy!

I've had a great time building this. When I had to back track a little and ended up breaking a few parts, they didn't hesitate to be in communication and ask for certain part numbers. Next day got an email saying they've mailed them out! Great customer service. Anytime I want a new project, I will be ordering from them for sure.

Husband and 11 year old daughter had a great time putting this together and shoots the rubber bands a lot farther then we thought it would!

So fun to put together. Even for adults this is a fun way to pass time and enjoy home time with family

It definitely looked intriguing, but the actual product falls short. Some thin/small parts are prone to breaking when popping out it out of the wood frame, trigger sear did not want to release on the 9mm semi-auto clone, consistently had to force it to fire by lifting the hammer with my thumb. Whole thing is held together with toothpicks, difficult to cut them flush with either a box cutter (as shown in instructions) or diagonal cutters, so sanding is required, frame was too tight to accept magazine easily, but magazine release didn't have enough tension to hold the mag so it keeps dropping. Not enough tension on the rubber bands to have any accuracy at any distance greater than 4 ft.
