Do people prefer 3 layer knex guns or 5 layer knex guns??

5 layers are good for biggish ones (rbg's rifles, big pistols like your fx-9 pistol and your monster pistol) but for little ones 3 layers is best. however 5 layers is good for clips and such.

[Bartboy]

5 or more. I like 11.

[KnexFreek]

 my shotgun hazzez 11 layers

[travw]

Well, I like 3 layer guns because the rods don't stick out as much.
But I really prefer:
11 LAYERS THICK!!!
^{Just kiddin'}

[KnexFreek]

 my shotgun is 11 layers

[knex_mepalm]

omg how do you get 11 layers thick?

[KnexFreek]

my shotgun is 11 layers thick

[knex_mepalm]

 Wrong! It's UNNECESSARILY 11 layers thick. And I made it. Pretty good.

[KnexFreek]

 wel it has to be 11 layers to accommodate a yellow connector. thanks for building!! but if you wanted something similar that is ALOT better, build my hell slayer  :)

[travw]

Yellow rods.

[knex_mepalm]

uhh, what guns use that strong mech, I like the 5 layer Mezak one becuse it uses BRICK LIKE building to reinforce it, i dropped it down 2 stories on carpet, and only the mag fell of!

[travw]

Knexsayer.

HA HA, The ends of white rods don't stick out farther than the blue rods.

[travw]

Yes they do, a white rod holds up to 3 connectors, a blue up to 6. Therefore each side of a 5 layer gun will have rods sticking out an extra blue spacer. Get what I mean?

[Killer~SafeCracker]

Oh I see what you mean. I was saying if the rod was full it wouldn't.

[travw]

Gotcha. BUT: actually it sticks out a ^tiny bit more.
To test it do this:
-put 3 of any connectors sideways on a white rod.
-put 6 of any connectors sideways on a blue rod.
You can put a connector on each end of the blue rod, but not the white.
Viola! My work is done!

[Killer~SafeCracker]

Yes but it doesn't make a difference in the way it feels.

[knexsuperbuilderfreak]

tires? but look at z35 it has a comfey handle

[Killer~SafeCracker]

I didn't like it much. The connection to the body was weak.

[jollex]

 5 layers.

[cj81499]

I like 3 as i don't have 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 (exaggeration) knex pieces

5 layers are better, they are more sturdy and offer more possiblilities, and they are about just as compact.

[Killer~SafeCracker]

Thank you everyone for you answers. I have found that people prefer 5 layer guns so thanks to you all.

[knexsniper1]

i would say that people prefer 3 layer guns if they are trying to make them really sleeker, but i would like a 5 layer gun better becasue then it can be smoothed out like your TAW

[nutty guy]

people with less pieces like 3 layers but 5 layers make the gun seam more real and to size

[stale56]

5 are sturdier, but because blue rods are 6 wide, it can cause things to jam UNLESS you have a Y clip, or a get connector, or whatever on it. I prefer using 5 for rifles, big pistols and RBGs, but 3 for small handguns.

[knexsuperbuilderfreak]

i think its all up to the builder like in some of your in the fx series theres a yellow not a blue or white moste white rod wide pistol are sturdy but most like the tds has some points where its a blue wied but yeh

[smilee]

5 layers seem comfortable for me and they are way sturdier.

[DJ Radio]

I prefer 5 layers for larger rifles and such, I like 3 layers for smaller guns.
