Looks alot like I_Am_Canadian's Compact AST Pistol  http://www.instructables.com/id/Knex_Compact_AST_Pistol/

[LvNo1000]

So, how does it compare?

[bboy321321]

i'm new to this site how do you rate

[builderguy101]

do you need the ball sockets

[daredevil499]

great gun i'm going to give 5 stars for it

[daredevil499]

cool

[jimopertrat]

lol my tan clip on the ram rod keeps exploding!! 2 powerful! sweet gun anyway 2 stop it explodin?

[jimopertrat]

Awsome 5*=)

[Bommelding]

Where should those bendy rods attach?
And i don't have a bendy blue rod, can i just leave it out?

[jimopertrat]

Neither of the bendy rods are required but make it look cool

[jimopertrat]

aaannnnd its the trigger guard

[Michaelgoode]

do u need the wheel

[james4]

no its just for comfort

[james4]

built it, this is AWESOME its really powerful

[mrwhiz]

i did it with blue rods i dont know how you ever got the whites on i will tell you if its good when i get some rubber bands cuz mine all snaped from some other guns
ps i like the trigger and the design cool gun!

[knex_mepalm]

My yellow rods always bunch together in the ram but nonetheless the work perfectly. Is it just e or knexfreek always has the the right everything making his gun absolutely perfect and some of our ones are bad?

[sikufan]

Nice gun! Its realy small but you can make him very storng

[geodez]

Mine is a LOT different.

[sontos12]

whats that blue thing in the first picture? i have no pieces like that

[KnexFreek]

 Hmmm....  its a tan clip that doesnt have that little thing that sticks out on it. You can either take a tan clp, cut the little thing off it, and sand it down ; Or you can stop building :( That piece is VITAL. It is what blocks the ramrod, it is the trigger.

[sontos12]

no not that thing, theres a black and a sky blue one

[KnexFreek]

 the hinge?

[sontos12]

idk i think so, do i need that piece?

[KnexFreek]

 yes.... the hinge is what makes the trigger work. So no hinge = no working trigger.

[sontos12]

do you know what set thats in?

[SpeedStrikerXLR]

My friend gave me a hinge. so if you have a friend who has knex and has a hinge ask to borrow it.

[adio]

Just modded the gun so you only need 10 "Y" connectors since I only have 10 it looks the same and is still very strong. :D

[pie25x]

Isn't it wierd to shoot the yellow rds instead of a white or green rod?

[iundonei]

not really. i mean since it is a small gun yea but overall yellow rods have better performance than blue white or green. so the bullet is sorta perfect for the gun.

[Dante9030]

nice i gave it a 5.0
:)

[hoi]

this is an awasome gun!!!!!!
but from that distance in the first video, i can do that too :P xD

[tjdtjd1]

holy shiz!
flying gun!
subscribed because i want a flying gun...
and all your stuff is freaking awesome

[H1T4TCH1]

 awesome, really awesome! i made it as a sidearm 4 my tank bow! i buyed some pieces from a friend, lol.
i build it in 10 minutes :P
thanks  4 the good instruction, they are really clear to me, cause you made them just only 4 professional knex gun builders... :)

[chippyzchip]

This is probably one of the best knex pistols out their.

P.S. I cannot find my cookie!

[squarepants]

 whats your trick?

[KnexFreek]

 to use the yellow connectors to push/click in the white rods :) also did you build?
if so, do you likey? if not, did you use alot of bands?

:D

[squarepants]

 still havnt built =( sorry.
Nice trick though, and saw the power vid. For a gun of this size, in fact for a gun of any size, its incredible!

[Decon93]

i just figured y im having that problem its because im using a pointed/sharpened ram rod and that doesn't have enough surface area to have enough friction to keep it from slipping. haha my bad

[KnexFreek]

 LOL good :) i

[Decon93]

every time i go to pull the ram back it gets past the trigger, i let go of the ram and without pulling the trigger it fires becuase of the rounded tip of that blasted blue clip you should add a note in the ible that people can use a modded orange connector instead because that will help a lot and solve the miss fire issue. i think it's a good gun and all but just of that im going to take it apart and make ur repeating crossbow cause im too lazy to alter and rebuild this gun
