the next new knex gun ideas?
i was just wondering, what type of new knex gun would you have to make to be a 'Knex god'.
i mean there doesn't seem to be any more things we can do other than model guns or maybe a Rocket propelled grenade (which would be hard).
can someone help for ideas of a mech - not a model of a gun, something that we dont have anyform of.

ive got a rocket propelled grenade but it is still being tested it fire out the barrel of tube type gun

cool. i really would like to see a PROPER minigun as well, thinking about it.

says:
look up ironman63's minigun sorry if its the wrong name an easy way to build a minigun is to have the rotating barrels pull a chain

says:
i said PROPER. the bullets in his minigun don't shoot down the barrels. they just shoot out the box.

smaller pull area fires bullets through the barrel

i think that a good idea would be a working semi auto gun, or a full auto that doesn't require a motor.

sorry for late reply, but it is one of my forum topics.

i saw it. its good, but the only thing i wasn't too fond of was the fact that it doesnlt look to much like a gun, or that it shoots rubberbands. other than that, great idea!

ive made a new version its blue rod thickness. still fires rb's but it looks like a gun.

says:
sweet! can you post it? i think that i may be able to mod it to shoot bullets not rubberbands.

You could make a mounted machine gun powered by barbell weights, I tried that before, it is possible, but very very hard to do.

says:
I made a modified version of extreme builders machine gun mech and tried powering it by using barbell weights to repeatedly cock the gun as they fell with gravity by attaching them to a spinning rod that pulls the ram back, the design needs to be very sturdy to hold up the weight though.
May 4, 2009. 11:46 PMbarrax (author)
says:
oh, cool. but if the barbell weights have enough force to pull the rod back, you're gonna have a lot of fiddling to do if the elastic band doesn't have enough force to fire it at the correct point.

says:
That's not really a problem, stability of the gun and its mechanisms so that it can uphold the weight is the only major difficulty, it would work the same as extreme builders machine gun (plus a trigger) only with weights.

i have a couple ideas, but i want to test them out first. not everyone has a motor, i have one, but it is missing one important gear. but trust me, there are ways to do that, and it would be powerful to. with a motor, it is restricted because the ram can only be as powerful as the motor is able to pull back. but i have some ideas.

Hmmmmm... Something along the lines of a pump-action crossbow with a magazine with gray rod bolts with red connectors on the end that is powerful and reliable. The mechanism could be something like the pump pivots the arms back and thus getting the rubber band hooked on the trigger, then pushes them back into place. It would be difficult in knex, but the result would be quite awesome.
i made a repeating crossbow its on my slideshow called some of my new guns ignore the other one

says:
ya, i see ya, but it wouldn't take much - just a lot of pieces, some oodalumps style chains, a solid cage and a powerful motor
May 3, 2009. 6:01 AMbarrax (author)
says:
not really. i made an M1919, but i didn't have enough pieces to finish the long barrel.

I've built a true bolt action sniper does that count?

not as boxy as you think. i have a forum topic with better pics
Jun 28, 2009. 9:31 PMFred the Penguin
says:
it has more power than a killerk pistol with the same amount of bands. by the way what sort of bolt action is the ar-4 v3 my sniper uses a dual pin bolt
Jun 21, 2009. 1:06 AMbarrax (author)
says:
yeah, but is it really a truue bolt action?! bolt actions have to actually twist tio pick up 1 bullet from a clip - yes, a CLIP - hidden in the back. if it doesn't HAVE to twist, i wouldn't consider it true bolt action.
Jun 21, 2009. 1:27 AMFred the Penguin
says:
....it doesnt twist but you pull the bolt back which pulls the pin back then push it foward loading the bullet into the firing chamber
Jun 22, 2009. 9:56 PMFred the Penguin
says:
meh its true enough for me. ps im planning on making it the sniper in project firestorm

says:
it uses a few very new very clever ideas enough said

Im waiting for someone to make rubber bands go through carboard.

says:
you need something more solid than a rubber band, to pierce card...
Jul 27, 2009. 11:43 AMdynno97
says:
It could be possible... in time... just have to keep trying
Jul 27, 2009. 12:02 PMbarrax (author)
says:
I don't think it would be possible without a bit of knex on the band (was it the dunkis that put that Ible up)?!
It seems to me that in order to be a knex god, you have to make something really big and uses a lot of parts (like the Knexsayer or the IAC cannon)

i've built the knexsayer, but i got bored with it. Now i play on cod 5 and 4 more than i do knex XD

says:
Hey Barrax, i think that i MAY have an idea, but im not sure. you want to collaberate on it? if it works, then it will shoot pretty far and powerfully.

i friend of me maybe can buildt a mg42 , mg34 . i shall ask him about if he wants to buildt he is pretty good in knex
Apr 12, 2009. 4:31 AMbarrax (author)
says:
i'm talking about new ideas, not new guns. Sure an MG42 is great (and especially if you can fit the chain in the wheel without it going off, then even better), but I wanted to know new ideas, like a type of trigger that can make a firing rod gun shoot automatically, or something.

says:
Louis the XIV has a nice full auto mechanism (he calls it a semi auto), it would be very hard to implement it in a gun with a semi or full auto trigger however.
Apr 13, 2009. 3:06 AMhardcoremaniac
says:
oh you mean full auto. thats awesome but difficult to build. maybe you can build a bb gun mechanisem inside of it.

i have about 3 failed attempts at a slide action gun with a hopper, its based off of a block trigger gun, it just has a slide, but thats what i've been working on...

says:
i was working on a bolt action gun, but fail. now i'm doing an M4 sopmod
Apr 3, 2009. 8:01 PMstale56
says:
i got so close to finishing the slide action gun (it was gonna have a block though...) SO CLOSE! but now im gonna work on a gun that has a true trigger body, with a slide that fits over the top thingy, and i just got a huge idea as i type this. i love you.
Apr 4, 2009. 2:10 PMknexsniper1
says:
i think an amazing idea would be a rapid fire gun, that doesn't require a motor, i have a pretty good irea of how to make it, and it actually looks like a gun, not triangles like most of the machine guns here. no offence to anyone, but it's sort of true.

I'm almost done with my rocket propelled frag grenade!
Feb 21, 2009. 8:19 AMbarrax (author)
says:
yeah, i mean less than a crossbow, and more like a mortar turret, that you'd find on google.
Mar 2, 2009. 2:52 PMWafflicious
says:
I know its just that if it didn't have the bow the bullet gets stuck.
Meh, We are still waiting for powerful semi auto mechs...
Jan 31, 2009. 7:19 PMstale56
says:
u pull the trigger, an rb comes out, u pull the trigger again, and another rb comes out, and it holds about 12 rb's, i posted a forum thing, so check out my account, i modded the gun shown a tid-bit, i made it thicker, and have a stock. but yes, true semi, but a LONG reloading time...
Fake semi then, because you need to reload. But still coolio.
Feb 6, 2009. 3:23 AMbarrax (author)
says:
that is true semi auto - you have to reload after the "mag" iis emptied.
Its a matter of opinion. You need to reload the power scorce.
Feb 20, 2009. 8:30 PMrazzlekunai
says:
Well, with rbgs, the rubberband is both the power source and bullet. Kinda hard to tell.
Yeah, because real ammunition are the power source and the bullet too...

u ever see rocket power wen u were younger? cuz in an episode of it (the 1 were the "shoobies" take the kids' "lingo") the dad ses that wen he was young he made up a word that was so cool that it never caught on "coolaroonay".

Yes, I saw that episode years ago, but what does that have to do with anything?
