What is the highest range knex gun on this site?

I am not worried about the amount of pieces, however I would prefer a good instructable. (Clear pictures/instructions.)

All slingshot guns have a high range due to zero friction barrels and no energy is wasted in using a ram. There is a group (link below) just for slingshot guns. Personally, having built several of them, my favourites are the SR-V2 and the T36, although I haven't built some of the others like the A.D.U bazooka 1040.
Hope this helped!

Like Lowney said the slingshot guns are the most powerfull, but I think that KILLERK's SR-v2 is the most powerful, he said he got it to shoot OVER 400 FEET!!!

No really, I posted the SR-V2 instructions and I could get it to about 500ft (probable about 450ftish though) and when I am done filming the range I will add it to the video currently on the page.

imagine making a turrest SR V3 - like the normal sniper but twice as long, and mounter on a stuck down quad-pod! a quad-pod is a tripod, or a bipod with 4 legs.

My SR-V2 is longer than KillerK's in case you want to know! I know what a quad pod is by the way, but what I don't know is THIS:

Are you going to measure the distance?

Well my I know how long my gran's road is (about 700ft) so I can film me shooting down it. It should be fairly easy to see if it has reached 500ft or not.

You're going to have to get video proof, then I'll believe you

Well, they are very rare, and most of them use a lot of pieces because they depend on a long stretch of rubberband, but i think slingshot is the correct answer to this one. I counted it and there are only 17 slingshots on Ibles. Have fun though, they are crazy when it comes to range!
Sep 16, 2009. 7:35 PMKnexFreek says:
WHAT?????? really?????? theres got to be 50 at the least!!!!! do u mean rifles or anything slingshot????
Sep 17, 2009. 8:38 AMSkreetsha says:
Well this comment is pretty old so there are now more slingshots then pump action shotguns ;P
Sep 17, 2009. 1:23 PMKnexFreek says:

Sep 17, 2009. 1:50 PMSkreetsha says:
Yeah, but lot can happen in.. uhm.. 4 months right? i never can remember the months in which order, so frikkin' annoying! :P
Sep 18, 2009. 4:40 PMKnexFreek says:
lol now theres like 200!!!
Jul 6, 2009. 9:01 AMLowney says:
20 I think (based on the number of entries in the group + the ORIGINAL slingshot pistol)
Sep 1, 2009. 8:31 AMSandy44444 says:
well make a sniper and load it with rubber bands

The B. S. R. Raptor - Even the infamous KillerK envied it.

I heard Benfoxg's sniper can reach ranges of 450 feet. But if you can make it longer or use better bands it can fire even farther.
