Compact SRv2

I will post this gun soon, in January. So be the first to find out when it's posted by SUBSCRIBING to me!

When I posted the full-size SRv2 way back in February 09, a lot of people told me that they couldn't make it because of the lack of parts. Well here is the solution! I too have very few yellow connectors, only about 100 yellow and 20 metallic. This gun uses about 85. It isn't as powerful as the full-size version, but not by much.

The Sears mech on this doesn't lift up or push down on the ammo, like on nearly all slingshot guns (including the SRv1). Because of this, it has an incredibly high range.

This has most of KillerK's mods, albiet pulled off in a different way. The handle can now take the entire gun's weight, the stock connection is stronger, the barrel is shorter and uses fewer pieces (obviously).

Video of the full size SRv2, also available on the instructable

so much for January

Dude this is like the simplest gun in the world. Look at the instructions for the compact SRv1 and then follow the conversion guide in my full-size SRv2 instructable and you should be good to go lol

how much yellow and green would be on that gun

Lowney (author) in reply to starwarsjedi76Aug 16, 2011. 3:33 AM

About 100 yellow and less than 150 green rods (not really sure about green though). I'm assuming you're asking about the compact SRv2 rather than the full size one, which uses considerably more parts :)

starwarsjedi76 in reply to LowneyAug 29, 2011. 1:22 PM

yea the compact srv2 and i think i might try and make the orignal and thanks for ansering my question

Lowney (author) in reply to starwarsjedi76Aug 29, 2011. 2:49 PM

No problem

I feel sad. No compact SRV2. I was hoping for a line of smaller and smaller versions like IAC'S Heavy Cannon line.

Lowney (author) in reply to CheezpaperJan 29, 2011. 12:43 PM

Bear in mind this is a lot simpler than IAC's cannon

hey i have 154 yellow connectors and more ohh build zacs sligshot sniper rifle from knex innovation

Lowney (author) in reply to superbestknexJun 16, 2011. 1:36 AM

That's just a re-skinned SRv2 though, and if you have 154 connectors that's plenty (if you're asking if you have enough)

superbestknex in reply to LowneyJun 16, 2011. 5:57 AM

yeah i agree but i got it to shoot about 220 ft with fins could you post instructions

Lowney (author) in reply to superbestknexJun 16, 2011. 7:03 AM

for Zak's? Why not go to KI?

What range will this get with fins?

Lowney (author) in reply to Fred the evil puppetApr 16, 2011. 9:45 AM

I don't know, it varies with rubber bands but this SRv2 was built as an experiment, and I never tested it outside. But it does shoot pretty well :P

how many #64 rbs did you use?

Lowney (author) in reply to instruct39Jan 12, 2011. 12:30 PM

It wasn't a size 64, it was just some huge bungee thingy

instruct39 in reply to LowneyJan 13, 2011. 8:18 PM

really? it looked like you knotted together some 64s

Lowney (author) in reply to instruct39Jan 14, 2011. 12:01 AM

Oh my mistake, I thought you were refferring to the full size SRv2 video, I can't remember exactly how many I used on the compact version, but I used size 63

instruct39 in reply to LowneyJan 16, 2011. 10:18 AM

okay, thanks anyways!

RedStark says: Dec 19, 2010. 7:50 AM

is the mech the same but every thing is shortened?

Lowney (author) in reply to RedStarkDec 19, 2010. 11:59 AM

Yeah, it's basically the SRv2 but miniaturised

PindaHoofd says: Jan 8, 2010. 7:23 AM

When are you posting?

Lowney (author) in reply to PindaHoofdJan 8, 2010. 10:46 AM

Probably never. Why?

Pizzapie500 in reply to LowneyJan 18, 2010. 6:06 PM

But you wrote that you'll post in Jan.

Lowney (author) in reply to Pizzapie500Jan 19, 2010. 9:02 AM

Okay I will

RedStark in reply to LowneyDec 19, 2010. 6:49 AM

its past january

PindaHoofd in reply to LowneyJan 20, 2010. 11:43 AM

When iz you posting.

Lowney (author) in reply to PindaHoofdJan 20, 2010. 12:23 PM

Prolly before the end of january. I've got 2 big projects planned, a 50. cal sniper (removable mag) and the Ultimatum Assault Rifle.
I also was planning on an idea that me and The Dunkis were discussing ;-)

PindaHoofd in reply to LowneyFeb 4, 2010. 7:00 AM

Now iz february.

Lowney (author) in reply to PindaHoofdFeb 4, 2010. 7:26 AM

Oh yeah I won't post anymore lol. I decided that the original SRv2 ible was enough, besides my next 2 guns will be better: Ultimatum and Supremecy

PindaHoofd in reply to LowneyFeb 5, 2010. 8:37 AM

Any pics of them?

Lowney (author) in reply to PindaHoofdFeb 5, 2010. 10:08 AM

nope, not started construction, I'm still designing them. Ultimatum is an assault rifle, and Supremecy will most likely be a sniper.

naruto the ninja13 in reply to LowneyJan 1, 2011. 10:19 AM

now its next year

Pizzapie500 in reply to LowneyFeb 4, 2010. 3:22 PM

Then you should erase that it's coming soon.

PindaHoofd in reply to LowneyJan 21, 2010. 7:51 AM

Sounds good!
If i can i will build each of them.

Pizzapie500 in reply to LowneyJan 19, 2010. 2:26 PM

Sweet can't wait! Maybe you should invent a mag on a SRV-2 or something that'd be cool

Lowney (author) in reply to Pizzapie500Jan 19, 2010. 3:06 PM

Fraid that's not possible with this gun

Pizzapie500 in reply to LowneyJan 19, 2010. 4:20 PM

I know... But maybe in the future! Before no one thought that they can make a mag using the ratchet trigger system but KnexFreek did it. He created the FreeSlinger which I would build if it didn't need broken parts.
