Hey guys,
I've seen this idea in the past, but I never saw it completed. So over the last few weeks, when I had some free time for a change, I sat down and worked on it.   This is the fastest firing sling gun I've made and has a rage of 100+ feet when fired at an angle. I have to have it propped up on one end because I built it with a flat base. If you want you could use more parts and build a better base.

Basically there are 8 sling guns on a cylinder shaped structure. Each "barrel" has a bullet locking system that faces towards the center of the cylinder, but it is not connected to the main gun and frame so it can spin freely. This has one trigger that fires the gun, and a second "trigger" that moves the cylinder then locks it in place while the main trigger fires the gun. When you pull the second trigger and the cylinder is moved to new barrel the bullet locking system and the main trigger lines up, letting to fire the gun.

The gun isn't that pretty, but I really didn't feel like spending the time on making it look nice. I have to many things to work on. But the main part of this whole gun is the way the trigger works.

It's good to be back on Instructables. Tell me what you think, it only takes 5 seconds.

so it's semi auto? with 2 triggers, interesting
Apr 30, 2011. 11:21 AMMr. Muggle says:
so do you have to wait a while after pulling the first trigger before you pull the second one? By the way this is also possible with a ram gun why did you decide to build it whit slingshots? more range?

More range, more powerful, more terrifying.

Holy toast, that's HUGE!(TWSS)
Is it handheld or mounted?
May 2, 2011. 8:39 AMJSF521 says:
I'd like to see that!!! BTW, how do you make really strong but small axle for a rotating gun, without using a single rod??? (I am making a model of Halo's rocket launcher, but can't get the shoulder mount to work... :(
May 2, 2011. 11:12 AMJSF521 says:
Okay, thanks!

Could I have a go at a rifle- sized one?
May 2, 2011. 1:33 AMFred the evil puppet says:
"my idea and all" yet again, another stupid lie!
May 1, 2011. 4:44 AMTheFoofinator says:
Mkay. I don't think it is too hard, just basically shrink everything down by 1 rod size, like the barrels can be a white rod instead of a blue. Good luck.
May 1, 2011. 7:58 AMmettaurlover says:
POST. I'll build if you do. And probably turn it into a non-mounted gun.
