Dutchj's Semi-Automatic K'nex gun

$Dutchj\$

Well, here it is. My blue rod shooting, 7 shot semi-automatic k'nex gun.

It's no more or less powerfull then most sub-automatic guns, and is very reliable ( It sometimes misfires, but it never jams ).

It's not a perfect semi-auto, because you can't keep your finger on the trigger at all times. You pull the trigger and let it shoot back into place, and then pull the trigger again.

P.S. Sorry for the slightly blurry pictures, I don't have any good camera's.

This is the trigger. It should be easy enough to build.

Pretty sweet prototype mech, I'd really like someone to improve on it =) I tried making it but then saw the comments saying in wasn't that great, and stopped. But I really do think the mech is amazing!

Stop spamming please.

Jul 17, 2009. 1:05 PMDutchj (author) says:

Because, it's annoying.

Jul 17, 2009. 1:06 PMsmithinator says:

Jul 17, 2009. 1:14 PMsmithinator says:

hehe....im just joking with you, and i will stop spamming

Jul 15, 2009. 1:43 PMgeodez says:

why, i don't see you building anything.

Jul 10, 2009. 10:06 AMDutchj (author) says:

As far as the performance goes, it is indeed not a good gun. But if you can't see any significance in the design, you're beyond help.

i know , they look so realistic

Jul 16, 2009. 12:51 PMKiller~SafeCracker says:

I finally found it. This was the first gun I built when I came to ibles 2 years ago. Wow, I never thought I would find it again.

Jul 16, 2009. 1:08 PMDutchj (author) says:

xD You picked a bad one for your first though. I guess that means it only got better from then on, right?

Jul 16, 2009. 1:10 PMKiller~SafeCracker says:

YA But like I said it was my first so I didn't know how it would turn out.

Jul 16, 2009. 1:11 PMKiller~SafeCracker says:

But the concept was good.

Jul 16, 2009. 2:08 PMDutchj (author) says:

That was the idea, after all. Too bad nobody ever improved it.

I assume that there is no alternative to the ball joints?

May 28, 2009. 10:36 PMDutchj (author) says:

Don't think so, though I'm not entirely sure. There's probably a way, but that would require an entire redesign. This gun isn't good at all anyway.

May 29, 2009. 10:25 AMfortheheckofit says:

K, thanks

Apr 14, 2009. 4:38 PMknexsniper1 says:

wait, so when you pull the trigger back, it shoots? you don't have to pull back the ram?

Apr 14, 2009. 9:43 PMDutchj (author) says:

In theory, but it's not flawless. You need to let the trigger go after every shot so it can catch onto the ram.

Apr 15, 2009. 4:50 PMknexsniper1 says:

interesting, what is the range?

Apr 14, 2009. 2:13 PMDrWeird117 says:

No, that was my cousin. My OTHER cousin, whom I don't see anymore, was in Iraq, and since my little cousin, (the little nuisance who logged into my account *he's 9 now*) hardly ever sees either one of us anymore, he gets us confused. So...yeah.
