'Splodies

For lack of anything better to call them. Amusing use, they will "a splode" when tossed or dropped. 4-12 pieces required, plus a rubber band, per 'splodie. These are great if you have a handfull of them and an unsuspecting friend...

Step 1: Pieces

You need (to make one with best results):

2, 4, or 6 rods of any size*
2, 4, or 6 orange/brown connector pieces
1 or more rubber bands of same size* (one works fine)

Put the orange connector pieces on one end of each rod.

*see next step

You forgot to say something. DO NOT USE THIS FOR BALL GAMES!!!

knex_mepalm says: May 8, 2009. 8:14 PM

nice. I definitely love it. I "upgraded it to a door trap. I don't have any pictures buy ii just and it tilt on another rod and pace behind the door and close it. You put a grenade which just breaks when you drop it on the other side. When the victim opens door....beam a mess and they will run. Here. Only works for doors which open inside.

I_am_Canadian says: Feb 11, 2008. 7:31 PM

This is the best grenade on this site. Nice work!

I_am_Canadian in reply to I_am_CanadianMay 17, 2008. 8:23 AM

I like mine alot though..... Did you see it?

Nicely done! Simple, but effective. There's still the problem of having to put together each piece of shrapnel, but so far it can't be avoided. I thought it would be harder to set off than mine, but its own weight did the trick.

I_am_Canadian in reply to (your name here)May 18, 2008. 8:04 PM

You made it?

(your name here) (author) in reply to I_am_CanadianMay 19, 2008. 3:52 PM

Yes, it looked promising so i did ; ).

I_am_Canadian in reply to (your name here)May 19, 2008. 4:33 PM

Yay!

knextard in reply to I_am_CanadianJul 13, 2008. 1:29 PM

i shot mine with my modded DD-27 (nothing specially modded only the stock because i didnt have enough pieces BECAUSE MY BROTHER TOOK ThEM FOR HIS STUPID KNEX AIRPLANE)IT was awesome

I_am_Canadian in reply to knextardJul 25, 2008. 8:30 PM

Yeah, I did that with my dd-27 too.

bighead5454 in reply to I_am_CanadianDec 22, 2008. 3:34 PM

i_am_canadian where do you gt the dd-27 designs all the ones i look up look weak and nearly every grenade i look at you have a comment that says i shot it with my dd-27 so i figured it was powerful so i want to know where you get the instructions to build yours please tell me

I_am_Canadian in reply to bighead5454Dec 22, 2008. 3:37 PM

Just make the origonal one by dsman without the stock.

knextard in reply to I_am_CanadianJul 26, 2008. 8:30 AM

these are really good, but you would need quite a few of these to really do damage in a knex war, good job though

Storm950 says: Jul 26, 2008. 1:12 PM

I set them up at night time for some reason, ages ago when I was ill. Then my mum walked in and I was kind of asleep, she stoof on all 6 of em, luckily they didn't hit either of us.

Ok I read the fight Between you and lukair45.
So that got me wondering Whom made this??
Any way I have like 20 greys and even more orangy thingies so I'm gonna' make a huge one of these!
And I'm hoping it won't go splodie in my face =D

Wolf Seril says: Nov 17, 2007. 5:49 PM

Hmm... I just thought of a way to combine this and another "gernade" to make something that could really be called a gernade (air quote free!) I'll post a link in a few hours if it works.

Wolf Seril in reply to Wolf SerilNov 17, 2007. 8:24 PM

'splodie gernade

it works!
