Operating Instructions
Loading Rubber Bands:
- Select appropriate rubber bands.
- For LQ401 (Revolver): Hook one end of the rubber band onto the front sight or designated loading peg. Stretch the rubber band back and secure the other end onto the rotating cylinder's firing mechanism. Load one rubber band per chamber.
- For M870 LQ501 (Shotgun): Hook one end of the rubber band onto the front barrel peg. Stretch the rubber band back along the top of the barrel and secure the other end onto the firing mechanism at the rear. Multiple rubber bands can often be loaded sequentially.

Firing:
- Ensure the area is clear and you are aiming at a safe target.
- Hold the gun firmly.
- Gently pull the trigger. The firing mechanism will release the rubber band.
- For LQ401, the cylinder will rotate to the next loaded chamber after each shot.
- For LQ501, pump the foregrip (if applicable) to prepare for the next shot after loading multiple bands.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the wooden surfaces with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust. Do not use water or chemical cleaners, as they may damage the wood.
- Lubrication: If provided, periodically apply a small amount of wax to moving parts (e.g., trigger mechanism, cylinder rotation points) to ensure smooth operation.
- Storage: Store the assembled models in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent warping or damage to the wood.
- Rubber Bands: Replace worn or stretched rubber bands to maintain optimal performance.
