I mean not to disrespect, but power isn't what we're aiming for. We wet through our slingshot phase a few years back. Anyone (well, mostly anyone with decent experience and the pieces) can figure out how to make a long, sturdy slingshot and use whatever strong elastic material they can to propel it far. It's simple engineering. What we're interested in is concepts and mechanisms that do complex things. It requires thinking and twiddling with K'nex pieces in ways that were never intended even further than what we've already done just by making things that shoot.

But you can start off simple and work your way up. For example, a concept someone had was using a slingshot weapon but with a rail barrel that and a container that held a lot of ammo that would be shot out for a shotgun effect. So the sling shoots the container down the rail, stopping at the end, and the dispersing the shot. Maybe you could combine this with your gun to make a very powerful shotgun, one of the most effective single shots ever.

It's not a slingshot. It looks like a bazooka. and it is a completely origional design

So it's a cannon?

Sort of.

I am helping. You're choosing to see it as not helping.

He is making a valid point, things still seem to advance slowly on there, whereas we've hit a standstill. The reason people seem not to like it, myself included, is the attitude of the main community on KI. We are basically split on the grounds that a lot of iblers don't like the way they interract with each other.

It's already been said, but innovation can't be forced. We just need to wait.

It can't be forced, but it can be encouraged. That's what he's trying to do.

But then it doesn't help that I STILL haven't gotten any good help for a possibly revolutionary K'nex weapon. It's there, it's sitting on the table, but everyone else just stares at it while I wait for someone to pick it up and do something with it. >_>

Where might I find this table?

All over, I have described my idea at least 5 times. I think I might've on my own thread like this. Click on my name and search my recent threads, I forget the exact name, but it'll be recognizable.

Well recently much better things, especially semi autos, have been introduced, but I do agree with you.
