Break Action Gun with Shells

Hey Guys,
I recently made this break action gun. I know it's nothing that new and that's why I didn't post it, but I might if you want me to. If I do decide to post it, I would change a few things. It's not the best looking gun out there and I would probably work on that, but it functions perfectly. It shoots white rods about 30 feet. It has an eject lever to eject spent shells. That's the biggest problem I've seen on other break action guns. I'll explain everything in the image notes so be sure to read them.
Tell me what you think needs to be changed. Let me say this gun is more made for fun not war.

I know im not Killer~SafeCracker but from my experiences trying to make this gun from the pics, the hinge is actually pretty strong.

Please Post. Id guarantee build.

As for changes, chunky (I Know you can't help that so...) Maybe a compartment to put shells like on this Or for some innovation a folding stock? Please post man.

Oh and if you did are only 2 black ball (female) sockets required?)

I think that it is a little thick, especially in the handle.

Well I cant change that. Its the way it has to be to fit a shell like that.

Strange thati didn't see this earlier. I like seeing builds that use systems that are at least different than most, so there's no reason not to post. I like it.

nice. you could post it but if i were you i would think that would be a bit difficult. and its also taking a risk that the gun won't be the same. you could build another. its up to you.

Killer~SafeCracker (author) in reply to mbergJun 1, 2011. 10:31 AM
I've posted more complex builds so that wouldn't be a problem at all. Nah that wouldn't happen, I have a way of making instructables that wont let that happen. What would you change or add?
14
mberg in reply to Killer~SafeCrackerJun 1, 2011. 8:10 PM
As u said I would make it look better( these are in my opinion not bad things) I would also make it so that it can load a bit easier. It's pretty good though. Not much else to say

Try to give it sights and remove the front handle. Then replace it with a horizontal grip. Better yet keep the mech and make it look more like a shotgun. I love the mech just don't like the looks.

the looks could be a bit better, and the range isn't the best, but otherwise it is awesome!!

Killer~SafeCracker (author) in reply to Football viking boyJun 1, 2011. 2:44 PM
The range isn't that bad for a shell gun, but I'll try. What do you think it should look like?
15
Football viking boy in reply to Killer~SafeCrackerJun 1, 2011. 3:48 PM
mabey if the two handles connected on the bottom, or a 5 layer stock, but that is all just my opinion

I still think s0lekill3r's is better but post this one, it has many of the same concepts!
35
Killer~SafeCracker (author) in reply to DJ RadioJun 1, 2011. 10:26 AM
I agree s0lekill3r's is better but no one (well the n00bs) can build it. That would be the main reason for posting. But what do you think would make this better?
30
DJ Radio in reply to Killer~SafeCrackerJun 1, 2011. 3:09 PM
If you gave it some features like S0lekill3r's gun had. It had a storage box for shells and an adjustable stock, as well as an awesome body.

What would you change on it?

H1T4TCH1 in reply to Killer~SafeCrackerJun 1, 2011. 11:19 AM
i think the looks, like you said. and maybe some things i'll see if i builded it myself ;)

and maybe a stock or you know some other functionality things (tactical rails, etc.)
