Barrax' Knex War Shotgun

video Barrax' Knex War Shotgun
Hey guys, this is my shotgun - my first non replica gun, and its 7 connector widths wide (its on yellow rods).

Sorry for the music, I forgot to turn it off for the video.

This weapon is intended for war, and does shoot well, but its downside is loading the mag takes sooo long.

This gun was originally going to be a 3 shot burst rifle, however it failed at that (the ide was to have different length firing pins hit the bullet at different times) because the shots all came out at apparently random times (so it was more of a shot gun). I edited it over a day, and finished with this, my War Shotgun

It uses Erikos Kostarikas Dot sight, a new mag, new bullets, and a new firing pin mechanism. It also has a whole hand rail, and reminds me of the TAR 21, but its not a replica of the TAR21 cuz it doesn't look exactly like it (to my standards).

It uses a lot of pieces for a small gun, but think of it as one of my average legnth guns, with its legnth attached on the side (build it to see what I mean).

I can easily reload it within 30 seconds (i timed myself).

Instructions are coming...


Also, once, it only fires 1 instead of 3 bullets... in the next shot it fires two, and it has never done that before (i have fired it at least over 50 times)...

And last but not least, please comment, rate, comment again, then subscribe :)

when u say in the info that it is on yellow rods, it sounds as though it is addicted to the yellow rods ;)

I guess that song is Eminem- My name is.  Am I right?

Anyways, sorry but I don't really like it too much.  The design looks sloppy-ish in my opinion.  But I do like how this fires more than one bullet at once like a real shotgun.

I thought you were a little older, either that or I'm rubbish at guessing peoples' ages.

 love the gun mate, especially the sight, good music choice, and nice British accent. if only it would reload better, or like the AA-12.

btw, did u nick the sight from erikos kostarikos???
Feb 8, 2010. 8:52 AMknexpete says:
 would be a good plan, if u could make a real one firing real bullets from knex
however, it would actually break. hmm......... DRAWING BOARD!
Feb 7, 2010. 3:12 AMTigerNod says:
Shotguns, heck yeah! I like it, and I definitly will be building. One question: what are the yellow rods at the front for?
Feb 7, 2010. 3:38 AMTigerNod says:
And I will subscribe, btw.
Feb 6, 2010. 3:34 AMknexguy says:
It's definitely the sort of weapon you would empty then drop rather than reloading in a war.
Feb 2, 2010. 6:47 PMCraftySNAK3 says:
this thing looks beastly!
Feb 2, 2010. 4:46 AMMr. Muggle says:
nice, a bit like knexfreek's shotgun
Feb 2, 2010. 10:49 AMMr. Muggle says:
cool gun anyway
Feb 2, 2010. 5:59 AMstale56 says:
I saw on another gun, that used the same ammo, the guy put a green rod ( I don't know if it was taped or not) through the orange connectors.

That would probably make loading easier.


Anyways, it seems good, not your prettiest gun, but, still, effective.
