Basic Assault Weapon *updated with inside pictures for building*
Maybe some of you saw my video on youtube. I decided I'd mod the gun a little and maybe think about posting it if you guys think it's post-worthy. And by post-worthy I mean would you build it? Anyways on to the details.
This is a basic weapon that is mostly compact and pretty reliable. There are no big special features other than the magazine which is obviously removable and has an internal pusher, a roof, and it can be top loaded. With a quick change of pieces you could technically top load the magazine while it is in the gun though it may be a little tricky. The magazines slide right in and should stay put. I shaked it my hardest and it wouldn't fall out. Removing it is pretty simple. You just need to pop both sides individually.
As you can see I ran low on pieces so I just used red rods for the stock. You can store an extra magazine in it like in the picture. Of course I put in a pin guide. The handle is average. I wasn't too concerned with it as people can mod it freely. The trigger was made to block farther back so that the gun wouldn't have to be a unit longer to get max power. Ranges with the rubber bands placed as shown were about 9 meters or 27 feet with the mag full. I suspect increased ranges as the magazine empties. It doesn't have a turret, bolt, or shells so I don't know if you consider that good enough or not.

WELL WELL WELL WELL WELL WELL WELL
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I'm still gonna stick to a BR8+ratchet mod, or a ZBA.
Or my new singleshot.
It wouldn't take a lot of parts to fill it up anyways.
Well what sucks is that I broke around 6+ yellow connectors and lost quite a few green rods. What sucks even more...well sort of it's actually kind of good is that I have more k'nex literally floating around in my buckets of old toys. I'm far too lazy to go picking toys out of each bucket and looking for all the pieces to my old K'nex set.
Now you know what to do if you get bored. Find the knex.
Point is I couldn't have made it much different looking without sacraficing function or making it look horrible.
"I shaked it my hardest"
don't you mean shook?
Anyways it looks great. Go for the post.
"GRAMMER"
Don't you mean "GRAMMAR"?
Anyways, stop spelling it that way. Go for the spellcheck.
Yeah I'll see if I can post it tomorrow. I might just rip off the side of it and open the magazine up and take pictures of those though. It's such a simple gun that you guys should be able to build off the internals.
If you cant can you please send me a couple extra pictures.
I love this gun
I looks sortof like the framas
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
I meant 9 meters isn't 27 feet. I agree on the pande videos. And yeah, I'd probably load up a lot of rubberbands. Compared to you anyway.
If you used tape instead of rubberbands on your rams, you could probably add more...
And really whats the difference? It withstands more if anything. The difference if anything is that there is a little more give so pieces have a slight less chance of breaking.
And that's what's bad about using bands. They allow the pieces too much give, and then they can separate enough to let the ram slip out. Tape won't. Well, not as easily.
