Knex Semi-Auto Handle Mag Pistol

I said to Mepain "I'm going to make a semi-auto pistol with a magazine in the handle". 45 minutes later I took this picture.

I'll call it: SALSA
S**** A** Lame Semi-Auto

Yes, this is a TRUE semi-auto Knex gun. You pull the trigger and it shoots, then repeat. The magazine is in the handle and it shoots gray connectors. Range is 5-10 ft, so it's not going to win any wars.

Discuss.

Cool! I assume it works the same way as your other semi auto? I want instructions! or at least a few better pics to build from.... :-)
oodalumps (author) in reply to I_am_CanadianJun 13, 2008. 5:15 PM
It's a little different than the other two. In this one, the trigger grabs the pin from the back instead of the front. I may post instructions on KI when it comes up.
171292 in reply to oodalumpsJun 6, 2010. 1:13 PM
I looked on KI and the instructions weren't there. I think you should re-post it, because I really want to build it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:-(
oodalumps (author) in reply to 171292Jun 6, 2010. 4:42 PM
It's there.
171292 in reply to oodalumpsJun 7, 2010. 4:25 PM
You sure? When I searched "Knex Semi-Auto Handle Mag Pistol" on KI, it just showed your two "Two-Shot Pistol" posts and your "The State of Knex As A Product" post.  Could you please give me the link instead?

Ok, I will look for it then.

How did I miss this?
It's great.
DJ Radio in reply to BartboyOct 31, 2009. 12:55 PM
And more than a year old.
Bartboy in reply to DJ RadioOct 31, 2009. 1:41 PM
What sensible logic.
"It's more than a year old, so it's obsolete!"
DJ Radio in reply to BartboyOct 31, 2009. 3:28 PM
I didn't say it was obsolete.
Bartboy in reply to DJ RadioOct 31, 2009. 10:48 PM
I know you didn't say it, I was quoting what you were thinking.
DJ Radio in reply to BartboyNov 1, 2009. 8:34 AM
I never thought it was obsolete.  You can't read minds, and psychics are frauds.
knexguy in reply to BartboyNov 1, 2009. 2:32 AM
You can't know what he is thinking.  And if you can, unlucky :P
Bartboy in reply to knexguyNov 1, 2009. 5:30 AM
So? If you point out that something is old, you're either pointing out it has increased in value, or that it's obsolete.
knexguy in reply to BartboyNov 1, 2009. 10:22 AM
Actually, I read DJ'as comment as saying it is great despite being more than a year old.
DJ Radio in reply to knexguyNov 1, 2009. 10:38 AM
That's the way it should be.  There are guns that are awesome even though they are a year old.
knexguy in reply to DJ RadioNov 2, 2009. 8:15 AM
Yep, K'sayer is coming up on its first birthday.
DJ Radio in reply to knexguyNov 2, 2009. 1:04 PM
I have to get around to buying more parts so I can build it.... But I wasn't talking about the knexsayer.  I was talking about guns like the morettie or DD-27.  Basically classic knex guns that were good.
The Jamalam in reply to DJ RadioNov 5, 2009. 10:17 AM
Lol, the original storm 220 was actually considered good back in the day...
DJ Radio in reply to The JamalamNov 5, 2009. 3:31 PM
It was a classic, true.
DJ Radio in reply to BartboyNov 1, 2009. 8:35 AM
I meant that the TOPIC was a year old.  This is still the most recent posted semi auto.
Bartboy in reply to DJ RadioNov 1, 2009. 10:41 AM
You were either inferring that it was obsolete, or that guns that are over a year old are better.
DJ Radio in reply to BartboyNov 1, 2009. 10:55 AM
Neither.
Bartboy in reply to DJ RadioNov 1, 2009. 12:29 PM
That's what it says.

Oblivitus says: May 16, 2009. 4:12 PM
Cool, but you should make the trigger longer so that it can be squeezed with 4 fingers for a lot more power.
oodalumps (author) in reply to OblivitusMay 17, 2009. 9:48 AM
It can't handle any more bands than what I put on unless you superglue the parts together.
DJ Radio in reply to OblivitusMay 16, 2009. 5:58 PM
that would be uncomfortable....
Oblivitus in reply to DJ RadioMay 17, 2009. 6:22 AM
How so?
DJ Radio in reply to OblivitusMay 17, 2009. 10:42 AM
because that would only leave one finger to wrap around the handle. also, 4 fingers would be kinda cramping the trigger when its reset.
Whaleman in reply to DJ RadioOct 31, 2009. 9:44 AM
How many fingers do you have? I have four fingers and a thumb.
 
DJ Radio in reply to WhalemanOct 31, 2009. 10:39 AM
I have 4 fingers and a thumb.  But I was saying that it would be cramped with 4 fingers on the trigger.
Whaleman in reply to DJ RadioOct 31, 2009. 10:49 AM
But the first bit, the one where you said that you'd only have one finger to wrap around the handle. I'd have zero fingers.
 
DJ Radio in reply to WhalemanOct 31, 2009. 11:01 AM
I was counting the thumb as a finger.
Bartboy in reply to DJ RadioNov 1, 2009. 5:30 AM
Like a normal person.
Oblivitus in reply to DJ RadioMay 17, 2009. 11:07 AM
Fine, then it should have a two finger trigger.

Just build it from the picture, it's pretty easy.

Yes, but I can't really tell how to make the trigger system.
TheDunkis in reply to bannana inventorJul 23, 2008. 1:36 PM
alright I'll post a modified version. I'll probably combine it with my TDS. Of course I need permission from oodalumps first.
bannana inventor in reply to TheDunkisJul 23, 2008. 3:38 PM
Oodalumps if your out there please give him promision!!! lol Anyway I can't wait. How far does it shoot? Just curious. Thank you!!! :D
TheDunkis in reply to bannana inventorJul 23, 2008. 4:27 PM
Lol well I'm not sure if I really want to anymore. I built all up to the semi auto mech and it hardly pulls the pin back. You could probably modify this but it still wouldn't get much power.
bannana inventor in reply to TheDunkisJul 23, 2008. 5:07 PM
Ok

no kidding. I might just end up building it myself and try making it better. I mean it's sad people couldn't even figure out how I shrunk my TDS to make the mini version...what can you do.

Whaleman says: Jul 12, 2008. 3:30 PM
Damn. Beat me to it. I was gonna make one. Ahh, well. Just gonna have to make it a removable handle in the mag.
Whaleman in reply to WhalemanJul 12, 2008. 5:19 PM
Err, removable mag in the handle. Or maybe a removable mag that is the handle.
TheDunkis in reply to WhalemanJul 12, 2008. 4:51 PM
Beat you to that as well. Well I'm sure you could make a better one.
Whaleman in reply to TheDunkisJul 12, 2008. 5:18 PM
Are you talking about the TDS? That is not semi-auto nor does it have a remoeable mag.
TheDunkis in reply to WhalemanJul 12, 2008. 5:25 PM
I knew you would say that. Well I take it you haven't looked at my instructable since I last updated it. I don't know what else you would call it if that isn't a removable magazine. You insert a device with the ammo attached that automatically loads it. Plus the device on my pistol can be used on any gun with the same magazine including this gun with a couple small mods to the gun.
Whaleman in reply to TheDunkisJul 12, 2008. 6:20 PM
That is a clip. The difference is that Magazines have to be removed, clips are either ejected with the ammo or pop out when the gun is reloaded. Clips are generally used on the old-style WWII era rifles, like the M1 Garand. Besides, that method of clip loading has been used before.
TheDunkis in reply to WhalemanJul 12, 2008. 6:35 PM
Sorry to double post but I also wanted to add this. A magazine is a device that stores and loads ammo. It may be detachable or permanent. A clip is a device to store the ammo to feed into the magazine to load a gun.
Whaleman in reply to TheDunkisJul 12, 2008. 9:23 PM
And the magazine, in the case of your gun, is the handle. It does not go into the handle, it is the handle.
TheDunkis in reply to WhalemanJul 13, 2008. 7:50 AM
Sigh...like I said it depends on the situation. I you attach the ammo to the auto loader then you have a device that stores ammo and loads it. It works like a real pistol magazine. My pistol's handle in this case stores the magazine. In any other situation it is the magazine yes.
Whaleman in reply to TheDunkisJul 13, 2008. 10:15 AM
A clip is a device that is used to store multiple rounds of ammunition together as a unit, ready for insertion into the magazine of a repeating firearm.

A magazine is an ammunition storage and feeding device within or attached to a repeating firearm.

Your clip happens to be inserted into a magazine that is within your gun.
TheDunkis in reply to WhalemanJul 13, 2008. 10:29 AM
Ugh it's as if you've been completely ignoring what I've said at least twice now now. OK the sticky notes and ammo. That's the clip yes. The auto loader. That is...well the auto loader that you can put on and take off easily. When you attach the clip to the auto loader that makes the magazine. You then insert it into the handle both as once piece so it contains the ammo and loads it. A magazine is an ammunition storage and feeding device within or attached to a repeating firearm. A magazine it is then? I don't get why you do not consider that true.
Whaleman in reply to TheDunkisJul 13, 2008. 11:32 AM
What is the auto loader? Do you mean the rod with bands at the bottom that pushes the round into the chamber? In that case, it is just a poorly designed clip. Your mag is not removable, it is internal. You have to insert a clip. M1 Garands have an internal magazine, but the clip is loaded from the top so that you don't have to put a spring on the bottom. The C-96 Mauser is the only clip loaded hand gun (besides the Russian "Silent" 2-shot pistols) that I know of, and even it loads from the top. Every clip-fed gun loads from the top because magazines have a spring in the bottom (even internal mags).

TheDunkis in reply to WhalemanJul 13, 2008. 12:53 PM
OK dude seriously let me grab some pictures. 1. The first picture is of a pistol magazine. 2. This is the auto loader for my pistol. 3. Here is the ammo "clip" attached to the auto loader. You do the same thing as real one with it. You insert it into the bottom of the handle where a real one clicks into place you have to twist mine on. Yes mine is poorly designed but I find it works better than taking the whole handle off for example and only leaving a small shell to insert it back into.
