A VERY Strong K'nex bow an Arrow by NYPA
This is my first k'nex weapon after a passage down the ipod stand road. This bow uses 19 pieces excluding ammo. This bow can penetrate cardboard! (just penetrate, not go through). The prototype was made from my friend cj81499's knex. He has one too.

Step 1: Parts list.

These are all the parts you will need to gather. They are all in basic form except for the orange ones.

Pure power just doesn't cut it anymore. The fact that it's only 22 parts doesn't help either.
NYPA (author) says: Jul 27, 2009. 6:39 AM
does the fact that it goes 80 feet help?
DJ Radio says: Jul 27, 2009. 8:14 AM
nope.
NYPA (author) says: Jul 27, 2009. 9:41 AM
then what does count?
DJ Radio says: Jul 27, 2009. 4:02 PM
well, something new gets it bonus points.
NYPA (author) says: Jul 27, 2009. 4:26 PM
isn't this new? where's the processer?
DJ Radio says: Jul 27, 2009. 4:41 PM
nope.
NYPA (author) says: Jul 28, 2009. 6:56 AM
ok. does this get any points?
jceason says: May 8, 2011. 10:41 AM
Where do you get the orange rods?
sukinmaru says: Oct 20, 2010. 6:09 PM
I actually quite like this! 5* for the fact that there are few bows on this site!

If you attach a yellow semi circle connector to the end of the "arrows" right in the center of the connector, the arrows will spin and be stable in flight, increasing accuracy. This will shave off a little range, though.

wow! I cracked a window with this! (on accident, of course) Incredible
NYPA (author) says: Jul 22, 2010. 8:08 PM

you push the rod in from the tip of it. then it will catch it.
