Rectangle accuracy tip...

Well, I made a discovery when I was messing around with some shells, I found that if you load a red rod into your rectangle, then put a shell of 5 silver spacers all the way back on the red rod... The red rod then flies extremely straight. The shell then falls straight down, where you can use it again if you want.

P.s. This also works for yellow, and grey rods.
P.p.s. You can also do the same thing for oodammo, but with only one silver spacer.

TRY IT OUT PEOPLE

I do not have a rectangle built, and I'm concentrating on the TKNIT at the moment.

What do you mean with rectangle? I don't think you are talking about this thing below, are you?

Does it only work with the rectangle or with other guns too?

Well, it sorta works with the DD-27, and most single shots. But only if the ammo sticks out the front.

Thank you? Do you have a rectangle built? If you do, try it.

But I doubt you have enough pieces to build a rectangle =p

I do have enough; I got more parts after I took the OSSR apart.
travw (author) says: Jul 20, 2009. 11:30 PM
Then I suggest making one... If you do try it, tell me how it works for you.
DJ Radio says: Jul 21, 2009. 7:31 AM
Im not gonna make one soon, but I will build it sometime.

Good tip, I see how it could work.
travw (author) says: Jul 20, 2009. 11:31 PM
Yep, basically a(n) easily detachable barrel extension, which keeps the rod straighter while firing, thus making it fly straighter. Have/will you try/tried it?
