A few issues with that thinking. First, you would need to be one hell of a shot with that to do serious enough damage to them. Second, there's very little stopping power, you get a guy coming at you and you hit him in a non vital area with a 9mm you'll slow him down or stop him completely. You hit him with a rubber band projected sharpened object, he's still gonna be coming for you. A razor or a knife that allows you to slash or stab will be far more dangerous in close quarters combat.
