I bought a used aqua-pro or something like that. Its a two banded gun but the smaller band broke on me, now i have a v looking thing that has a ball on each end. I know how to make a band but is easier to buy brand new bands rather than make your own.? Thanks for any info

Hi Baka
The "V" shaped thing is called a wishbone.the ball on each end goes inside the small hole in the middle of the band material.
It isn't hard to make your own bands but if you do not know how to tie the Constrictor knot safely than it may be safer if you bought some bands and a screw on wishbone.
There is plenty of info on here regardsing making your own bands.

Hi Baka,
If you have skilful hands (just a bit!), I recommand you to tie your own bands. It's cheaper, you'll be able to change them regularly, and you'll reach the max power of your gun, by cutting them the minimal lenght needed.
Start buying this:

Now that you got these materials, take the wishbone, put some soap on one ball, and insert this ball approx 3/4" in the band (cut at the desired lenght).
Cut 7-8 inches of constrictor cord (2nd item), and tie a contrictor knot, as shown here:

cut the tying line, and melt it with a lighter.
So simple!!
