This is my first knex gun i have ever built. I wanted to keep it simple, so you wont find much, if any innovation in this gun.
It features a sturdy, comfortable stock, true trigger, and a non-removable mag.
Here are some good old pros and cons:

Pros

-true trigger
-moderate range(40-50ft)
-moderate rate of fire(1 round per second)
-comfortable
-looks(thats my opinion)
-reliable
-sturdy

cons

-very heavy
-mag is undetatchable
-lack of inovation
-high piece count
-takes forever to load the mag(up to a minute)
-weak point where the stock meets the body

 me gives this gun 5 stars !!!
squarepants (author) in reply to KnexFreekJan 3, 2010. 9:42 AM
 wow thanks! ive really wanted to make another gun for ages-this one is way to bulky and doesnt perform that well-but hardly have any time :( also short of ideas-maybe halo 3 shotgun with pump action?

YEAH! Sipriani V2 will always pwn the V3, weirdly enough... lol. And the R45 is great for beginning builders ;)
DJ Radio in reply to SkreetshaSep 4, 2009. 5:05 PM
Times have changed since your Sipriani v2. That type of gun is less impressive now.
Skreetsha in reply to DJ RadioSep 4, 2009. 11:36 PM
True, sadly enough..
DJ Radio in reply to SkreetshaSep 11, 2009. 8:25 PM
You know, these comments have made me want to post an ible about my guide to success.
Skreetsha in reply to DJ RadioSep 11, 2009. 11:38 PM
I don't think a lot of people will think it's necassery, so i wouldn't do it if i were you :/
DJ Radio in reply to SkreetshaNov 4, 2009. 7:15 PM
I've been getting tons of questions about my success.  I thought I would post it when I retire.
Skreetsha in reply to DJ RadioNov 4, 2009. 11:21 PM
Yeah, i guess so.
If people are asking you to, then do it.
I think you crawled past me on popularity btw.
I'm only getting like 20 comments a week.
When i built the Sip V2, i got three pages of 'em everyday.
Lol.

Nah.  You still have higher ratings and more subs.  You just need to comment more.  I only get tons of comments because I make tons of comments.

check out my vulture...
squarepants (author) in reply to SelezionaOct 24, 2009. 4:53 AM
 yeah it is pretty cool-your hand machine gun is better though-
i should really post my next instructable-its a dual-shot pistol, with a really strong true trigger and firing rod
Seleziona in reply to squarepantsOct 24, 2009. 6:59 AM
 ooooooh! sounds cool!
alfpwns says: Sep 1, 2009. 1:11 PM
id build... but i dont have anywhere near the amount of green rods needes
squarepants (author) in reply to alfpwnsSep 13, 2009. 10:43 AM
hey by the way i'm making a small pistol that you'll probably have enough pieces for. Its actually more powerful, more reliable, and much lighter than this gun. I've just got to work on a few things before i post. it'll be 3 weeks max.
alfpwns in reply to alfpwnsSep 1, 2009. 1:12 PM
BTW 5*s and a fav
squarepants (author) in reply to alfpwnsSep 2, 2009. 9:14 AM
wow thanks a lot! pity you don't have enough pieces though.
DJ Radio says: Sep 2, 2009. 1:27 PM
This is a pretty good first posted gun. Have you been playing with knex before ibles?
squarepants (author) in reply to DJ RadioSep 3, 2009. 1:04 PM
this really is my first knex gun i have made that has worked- my first designs were way to ambitious so i finally made something that i knew i could build. By the way i made lots of guns on this site before trying anything myself-that helped me to understand basic principles of knex guns and helped me to gain experience.
DJ Radio in reply to squarepantsSep 3, 2009. 1:16 PM
You could have just said yes.
squarepants (author) in reply to DJ RadioSep 4, 2009. 10:48 AM
yes but i wanted to bore you
DJ Radio in reply to squarepantsSep 4, 2009. 5:07 PM
lolz.
knex mad says: Sep 1, 2009. 11:50 PM
that stock is the best stock ive seen looks very comfortable
DJ Radio in reply to knex madSep 2, 2009. 8:17 PM
Dutchj has a more comfy stock on his assault rifle. But this is good too.
squarepants (author) in reply to DJ RadioSep 3, 2009. 1:17 PM
It would be easy to use dutchj's stock on this, because it is the same number of panels wide-in fact id like to see a pic of the gun with dutchj's stock. It might look pretty cool.
DJ Radio in reply to squarepantsSep 3, 2009. 1:28 PM
You have a link to it in the last step!
squarepants (author) in reply to DJ RadioSep 4, 2009. 10:48 AM
so?
DJ Radio in reply to squarepantsSep 4, 2009. 5:06 PM
Ohh! I misunderstood your comment. nevermind.
squarepants (author) in reply to knex madSep 2, 2009. 2:45 AM
thanks again =]

Looks nice! Good work on the handles.
DJ Radio in reply to I_am_CanadianSep 3, 2009. 1:10 PM
I really need some of those black wheels for a gun I'm working on.
squarepants (author) in reply to DJ RadioSep 3, 2009. 1:19 PM
what for?
DJ Radio in reply to squarepantsSep 3, 2009. 1:29 PM
the handle.
squarepants (author) in reply to DJ RadioSep 4, 2009. 10:49 AM
oh
DJ Radio in reply to squarepantsSep 4, 2009. 5:06 PM
Well nevermind, I found a substitute, only people say it isnt as comfy.
