I've looked, but so far, no. It does look really cool, but the way you'd have to postition your pieces makes it easier and more efficient to make a bottom or top loading magazine. Sorry.
Yes, there are. Do research before arguing with me about things like this. There is a 5 foot double barrel shotgun with 2 MAGS ON THE SIDE! So there! :P
READ the question, "Are there any knex guns with a mag on the side?" meaning you have answered the question by saying that there are knex guns with mags on the side.
????? im not saying im the expert, im just saying that i've tried the idea, and it doesn't work well. it may be my mag design, but it didn't work well for me. what in my comment makes you think i consider myself the expert on side mags?
im talking about my gun. by the fact that im saying it in present tense suggests that i am talking about my gun becuse i said that i have tried the idea, so that means that i have physical evidence in front of me, and when i say that i doesn't look good, im saying on my gun.
I tried to make a gun with a side mag when I was experimenting for my new gun and it didn't work that well-it exploded and broke some precious yellow connectors ='(. Also a side mag increases the gun silhouette making you a bigger target. My new Kobra support gun has no mag, it uses an internal hopper this gives it a tiny silhouette =P
I was actually designing something like that but really even though it looks cool it wouldn't help reliability and it would just add a 3rd dimension, making the gun even bigger.
