Giant rubber band! � Comically Large Things
Of course, there's a lot of air resistance. Maybe if there'd been something like, oh, a five or ten lb. weight...
Well - take a look. How far do you think it should have gone?

I think the cube/square law got into this particular experiment pretty hard.
If they had increased the size of the band another order of magnitude it probably would not have gotten off the launcher at all.
Experimental finding: Size does matter but it matters less and less as the proportional difference grows greater and greater.
