What is the standard amount of pieces a knexer has?

I was one day wondering if i could make an innovative gun that has a good amount of parts that most people could build, so i need a good estimate about how many knex the average knexer has. Thanks! -DGM

I would say the average knex user on instructables has about 1-3k, and the well known folks have between 4-8k.

Well... I have about 4 crates full. I do not know how many exactly. I'd call that regular.

I was like that once. But luckily we had nice neighbours who went to dorset, bought some knex from a charity shop (£15 for 2 huge boxes. Man, if I was there, I wouldve facepalmed that salesman so bad...) then we stumbled across more, and more, so now I have like 15,000 peices.

I have about 10,000 peices, give or take.

I think I have a medium amount of pieces, I have like 3-4 k. If you have less then 1 k you don't count. Unless your name is dj radio of course :-)
