Hello.

I feel like making another gun.  Let's have a vote on what it should be.  I will probably post instructions but no guarantee, so lets see your suggestions!  Leave as many as you like, and preferably not from MW2 and definitely not something that has already been done very well before.

Thanks

Please don't do an XM8, they're overdone :( Why don't you try a Remington 1100 shotgun?

Actually the only decent one I've seen is gtrain's and not to be rude but even that isn't that good in my opinion. I've tried a pump action shotgun before too, and it was next to impossible for me. Especially the barrel on the one you are showing me

The Jamalam in reply to MotaBoiAug 29, 2010. 2:44 PM
It's not pump, the real one is semi auto.

I think I've decided on the XM8, sorry. But that does look like a very cool gun though, I might make it next if I feel like making another.

rec0n in reply to MotaBoiAug 26, 2010. 9:13 AM
Yay! I'll build that XM8 if there are a few pics of it. I hope you feel like making another. Btw, what happened to the MP5K and all of your other guns? And what happened to the L86 LSW?

MotaBoi (author) in reply to rec0nAug 26, 2010. 3:58 PM
Thanks! And I took them apart for my mag fed NAR, which ended up a failure.

Oh, ok. Do you have any pics of the XM8 yet?

We still lack a really good XM8. Removable, adjustable stock. Charging handle with a lot of room to be used easily to recock a k'nex weapon. It has a lot of potential. Bonus for making it bolt action.
8
MotaBoi (author) in reply to TheDunkisAug 24, 2010. 5:44 PM
Yeah, I actually just started making it lol. It's going to be a lot of work to make a removable and adjustable stock but I'll give it a shot. Are there any other things you want to see in it?
19
TheDunkis in reply to MotaBoiAug 24, 2010. 7:54 PM
If you can get that charging handle working as bolt action I'd be satisfied enough. However, if you want to push it then make a bolt catch. It'd be interesting to see how an automatic bolt would work. Yes, it would have more resistance but not as much power but then it would only require you to pull back and not push forward. Then making a device that locks the bolt back under certain circumstances (I'll let you choose how that works) so that you can insert a fresh mag with the gun cocked but the bolt still back (I'd image you'd use a roofed magazine? Up to you) then release it with a button press like the real one.
Stock doesn't need to be removable for the sake of making a pin guide and all that. But it would be nice to make it adjustable. But don't sacrifice looks if you have to. Try making it look decent if you're going to do it.
Yeah...I think that's all.

MotaBoi (author) in reply to TheDunkisAug 25, 2010. 8:07 PM
Honestly I have no clue what half the stuff you just said even means :$ I would be very thankful if you could explain some things to me. 1) By "If you can get that charging handle working as bolt action I'd be satisfied enough.", do you mean that the charging handle (the thing you pull to cock the gun right?) will also be the be the thing for the bolt action? 2) What do you mean by "However, if you want to push it then make a bolt catch." ? And what is a bolt catch? 3) I'm assuming an automatic bolt is what I tried explaining in question 1 right? 4) Would you like to do a collaboration? I can try to do as much the body as I can, and possibly part of the mech, but I'm sure it would be a much better gun if you were a big role in making the mech. Thanks, MotaBoi

TheDunkis in reply to MotaBoiAug 26, 2010. 12:33 PM
Basically I was saying that the charging handle should be the bolt handle (because that's essentially what it is on real guns) but instead of requiring you to push it back, it should fling forward and chamber a round by itself. However, because roofed magazines are a better design and I'd use that for a bolt action, the bolt pin could get in the way of the magazine and so it'd be nice to make it somehow hold the charging handle back under certain circumstances so that you can insert the magazine easily and then release the bolt like normal.
In a real firearm, a bolt catch basically hold the bolt back after the last shot so that when you insert a new magazine all you have to do is release the bolt via a button or switch instead of recharging the weapon entirely.

I guess I could help out. I don't know what I'd do but I always wanted to make an XM8. It's actually what ended up leading to what I think was the first design to allow a bottom loading, shelled ammo repeater.

Sorry, I actually like to make bigger guns because most handguns in knex are almost the exact same thing and there is not much that distinguishes it.

TwistedParadox in reply to MotaBoiAug 24, 2010. 6:53 PM
What about an SA80, nice looking bullpup assault rifle

MotaBoi (author) in reply to TwistedParadoxAug 25, 2010. 5:15 PM
Looks a lot like a L86, I already gave that a go though and it was a bit too difficult for me.

What about an Armsel Striker?

Oh man, where did you learn about the L86 Light Support Weapon? The L86 is a light machinegun version of the British SA80
