Around 35 years ago I worked for Barclays Bank.  Some work we had came from
the Registrar's Department, and they had access to particulary strong
rubber bands.  White - about 1/4" in width, and with a marbled
texture.  You doubled them up.  The projectile of choice was a standard
paperclip folded almost in half - with the points projecting.  They would
go through one side of a corrugated cardboard box.

The boxes that IBM punch cards came in were favourite.  You had to get used
to the fact that any such box might, at any time, just leap a few inches to
a foot as you were walking past it.

We also killed flies with them.
