Try 1/4 second. The motor in this slideshow can drive that to fire all the shots in under a second and a half. That type of motor can also move about ten pounds rolling (tried at camp, made a freaking tank with three NXT kits) at a decent speed.

ive just thought of the best way to shoot someone in a knex war which is... get a gattling gun(a knex one well duh), make as many i am canadains war bombs as the amount of barrels in the gattling gun atach each bomb to a rod and load them in to the barrel and shoot away (that would be cool and i am doing it

Not particularly intelligent unless the objective of the game is to injure the other players as much as possible.

You seriously shouldn't have said that. Oompa is a PRO at knex.

Oompa-Loompa in reply to RMConstructionFeb 4, 2009. 7:03 PM

Thanks but I wouldn't consider myself that good. Perhaps if I had more knex I could be a little more creative.

Incoming dude... "BEEP - Upload complete" And, this is a portable full size model. four barells, with 2 supports, on top + below. It uses the cyber k'nex dual motar, cos my single is 'stuffed full of battery acid' shall we say... lol. It gets pretty fast, once it gets going. i rlly nead some sorta RBG system on this to make it shoot stuff...

Oompa-Loompa in reply to RMConstructionFeb 9, 2009. 7:16 PM

Looks really cool besides the fact that it's so hollow.

RMConstruction in reply to Oompa-LoompaFeb 10, 2009. 10:14 AM

I thought that too... maybe some paneling could sort that out.

Oompa-Loompa in reply to RMConstructionFeb 10, 2009. 11:43 AM

That could work, nut then would this get rid of the gun's curving shape?

RMConstruction in reply to Oompa-LoompaFeb 11, 2009. 9:04 AM

mmm... but... if i changes the blue rods on the ends to green rod + orange connector + white rod, it fits perfectly... if i did that i could plate it... i'll see what i can do :-D

RMConstruction in reply to RMConstructionFeb 11, 2009. 12:31 PM

Hmm... i think i'll go for it... i'll make it shoot stuff too!

Oompa-Loompa in reply to RMConstructionFeb 11, 2009. 1:59 PM
