Happy birthday k'nex!

Today is June 7th and the anniversary of k'nex on instructables! And to celebrate I put togeather a slide show showing the history of k'nex on instructables.

So grab your popcorn and enjoy the show! i hope you like it!

*i could not put all the gun in here because of time restraints so some of the basic pistols and some other guns got left out.
*All guns are in order from first posted to most recent, all the simple block trigger have not been put on here.

i would like to think everyone that has a gun in this slide show!

Go to Oodalumps on instructables and click on semi auto pistol.

[NYPA]

[Abcwtfidontcare]

and
http://www.instructables.com/id/knex-grenade-4/

[dsman195276]

not me!

[Capt. Fat]

Is that actualy the world's most powerful knex gun??? An is it on this website??

[dsman195276]

what gun are you talking about?

[Capt. Fat]

The one made in Turkey

[Lewis Hamilton]

what one made in turkey

[geodez]

It is one of the most powerful firing pin operated guns, i do not put guns like the SR-V1 up against Gorkems Rifle because they are not even close to the same class.

[dsman195276]

it used to be.

[Capt. Fat]

Why what happened?

[dsman195276]

guns that were more powerful then that gun where posted.

[Capt. Fat]

like KILLERK's. I can't say nothing do because i made the worst gun on this site and it blew up in my face!!!

[I_am_Canadian]

Hey Dsman, Can you give me a link to where you found the "sniper" 21 Pictures from the end? If not.. Oh well, but I think ive just noticed something...

[The Jamalam]

what did you notice?

[I_am_Canadian]

Nevermind. Its not important, and would take too much explaining.

[The Jamalam]

what did you notice >:[

[I_am_Canadian]

Just that someone else totally ripped off a different gun.

[Lowney]

Who what why?

[I_am_Canadian]

A guy called pacman way back when. Not important anymore.

[Lowney]

Oh yeah I've seen that, they do look awfully similar

[I_am_Canadian]

Yeppers.

[I_am_Canadian]

Nevermind I got it.

[KnexFreek]

great job

[chopstx]

whats the name of the gun that has the description of "gun..."?

[dwhdwhdwh]

awsome wrist gun

[BalintRules]

I liked your idea about the slideshow, and showing all the different models like the "sniper", which I_am_Canadian mentioned.

[ShotPain]

lol at mepains sniper it was liek "Alleleluia! Allelelulia!" good song to play while watching this is Matchbox 20 - how far we've come

[strato96]

I was listining to rush - closer to the heart.

[grevious]

lol i was listening "to live is to die" by metallica, it fits - sorta. anyway go get that song and watch it again :D

[Sturmgewehr44]

it sort of does, in a wierd way.

[The Jamalam]

i noticed that you only really put the famous people's guns in for most of it. try spreading it out a bit more

[dsman195276]

ok, i didn't, there are many guns in there that i am sure you have never seen before, and i am done with this thing, it is done, and is not going to be edited.

[downhilldman]

you're slide show takes FOREVER!!!!!!!!!

[dsman195276]

i know, i had to collect the pictures, put them in order, and put captions on all of them. easily took many hours to make(and is possibly the biggest sideshow out there)

[halo-knex-gr8]

u forgots the sr-v1 (does it stand 4 sniper rifle version one)

[builder968]

yes,and, the SR-V1 is in there.

[halo-knex-gr8]

oh sry, that was added after i looked at this which was a long time ago, in a far far away galaxy, in which, KNEX WERE BORN. (sta da duuuuuuuuuh.) now the evolution of knex guns has begun (yet again, sta da duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh.) duh

[builder968]

ok...............................

[combot55]

u didnt put my gun (the " Friction Handle and Trigger" ((search FHAT))) not just a basic block trigger, its the newest firing system here. plz add it. THX!!!11

[dsman195276]

no.

[combot55]

why not?

[dsman195276]

because i am done with this. i am mad i ever posted it. all it did was make people complain that there gun is not in there. do you have any idea how long i worked on this? and all you care about is that your gun is not in here.

[realcelestialphoenix]

(removed by author or community request)

[dsman195276]

1. your gun was posted April first and does not have a instructable, this was posted on June 7 and all of these guns have instructables. 2. there are many people who don't have guns in this.

[realcelestialphoenix]

(removed by author or community request)

[dsman195276]

no, this was to commemorate all the guns posted BEFORE June 7, or the somewhat innovative ones anyway. ok, that makes sense and, thank you for not minding, many other people have gotten mad, this was made to bring the knexers togeather(in a type of sorts), but it seems to have just made then grow more and more apart. i might just delete this.

[combot55]

thats not all i care about. im very happy that all of the greatest guns and how this got started is on this site. im just asking to put my gun in. just look at it. it might be weak, but if you build it, youll see why its different

[dsman195276]

again, i am sorry, but i am done with this. i would have to figure out witch guns come before it and after it, and then get the picture and put it in the right spot. it is just to hard.

[combot55]

ok sry for bothering u

[arrow shot]

(your name here)'s name is put into many ironic situations. some people could believe that they made that

[gungecko]

oops srry that was bananna inventer. really nice work, any way

[gungecko]

nice work, man! I can see where this would take a long time to build.p.s. did you invent scooter soccer? that game rocks.

[kingghaffari]

Is there someone realy named (your name here) on this site? Or did you mean like its (My name here) "What started it all, (kingghaffari)'s basic knex cannon?

[dsman195276]

his name is really (your name here) with the "( )" around it. search the name.

[mythbusterma]

you know what you should do this next year again, i have a strong feeling there is going to be alot of progress this year!

[dsman195276]

o wow, i don't think that i will do this next year. maybe i will add on to this one next year.

[mythbusterma]

that works, if you add me to collaborate next year i'll help :D

[mythbusterma]

my gun came after this thing was made WAH

[X3R0X77]

llllloooooonnnnnnnnnnnggggggggg

[I_am_Canadian]

Are you going to update this at all?

[dsman195276]

nope sorry.

[SNIPERDUDE]

Come on! I have one of the only turret designs and mine isn't here?
awww...

well, here it is:
http://www.instructables.com/community/HV1---semi-auto/

[dsman195276]

you had to have instructions for your gun for it to be on here sorry.

[SNIPERDUDE]

That's fine, I still haven't gotten around to posting instructions...

[SNIPERDUDE]

I know you were tight on time, I'm not trying to be mean...

[dinky]

can you ad mine gun?

[ojochris]

I think U forgot the Sign....

[daz108]

i think my assault pistol should be in here because it is better than the moretti and that is posted also if its for looks my pistol has the same sort of looks as the moretti i think its looks better (with the new handle not the 1 posted here

[silentassasin21]

you suck dont disrespect burito master or any of his guns

[dsman195276]

1. please read the comments under this 2. there was no instructable 3. you have no proof of how well it worked.

[Bartboy]

There are no marble guns on it, nor are there any really great non-gun things.

[dsman195276]

WHAT IS IT WITH YOU PEOPLE!

[Bartboy]

what? im not angry, but I mean, surely at least one marble gun should go on it, and nothing non-gun is on it

[The Jamalam]

marble guns aren't that good...

[Bartboy]

some are, and the concept of auto loading (even though all you you do is pull the ram back then let go). I also have a high speed one, but its not safe.

[dsman195276]

this is knex gun history.

[Bartboy]

oh ok, you should add that to the explanation

[MI6]

WOW. I spent an aeon looking through this... people say that it's too small and uniclusive ? Get a life!!! There is '000s of different gun types on here and i hadnt seen many before. BartBoy there is several non-guns on it. The 3rd on your slideshow was my 1st !!! Keep it up and i liked you r rifle from it v nice !

[dsman195276]

thanks.

[knexguy]

I appreciate what you did, better than I could have done. BUT: My gun had a completely new concept, design, AND trigger, and it is not there.

[dsman195276]

ok, i am sorry. i had a limited amount of time to do this, so some guns got left out. i proabably ended skiping your gun because it is more of a knife. also, i could care less about the design. if i put in every gun that has people claming a new design i would run out of room for all the pictures, i am sorry, not trying to be mean.

[knexguy]

It's ok, good work by the way.

[dsman195276]

thank you. i was not trying to be mean, extreme builder is kind of ticking me off right now.

[knexguy]

I can see why.

[Sypran]

you forgot this one! MADE BY KNEX THEMSELVES!!!! about 8-10 years ago! you can see it has fireing pins and a oodalumps like trigger.

[Storm950]

Post that! It looks like a cannon or something.

[Sypran]

it's not mine, even then it is like few steps, if i was to post it, it probably be a fourm topic

[dsman195276]

if you did post it you would run into legal trouble with knex.ink.

[Sypran]

true...but wait what if it was a difrent moded version...even then i probably would not, got other things to do

[Storm950]

Yeah, I highly doubt Knex the actual company would ever go on Instructables.

[dsman195276]

he can't

[oodalumps]

oodalumps-like? None of my guns have pull and release triggers lol.

[Sypran]

http://instructables.com/id/TrueSemi-automatic-Knex-pistol./ or maybe i'm mistaken...

[oodalumps]

That's a common misconception most people make when they see my semi-autos. The triggers on my semi-autos are like triggers on all guns. You pull the trigger back and it shoots.

[dsman195276]

i think me means the concept of pulling back the trigger really far.

[oodalumps]

I really need to release my minimized semi-auto pistol. The trigger pull was an inch or less, and it shot as far as the original.

[dsman195276]

i would love to see it!

[dsman195276]

i think he is talking about your semi-auto triggers. maybe...

[I_am_Canadian]

My grenade! Yay!

[dsman195276]

yep!

[extreme builder]

u really didn't put any of my guns but u put alot of crappy guns i am very insulted

[TheDunkis]

I noticed a lot of rubbish guns on there too that made mine look like gold. But still do you not have any appreciation for what he did?! He went around for hours collecting pictures of all these different guns and sorting out whichs ones do go in and which ones don't and still it was hard to get most of them. You've made a couple of good designs but basically they all copied off someone elses original idea except maybe the revolver and even that I had a very similar idea I never made becuase I didn't have enough socket end ball-joints. I'm pretty sure you insulted dsman even more Mr. Hotshot. Sorry I'm not trying to be harsh and even if you're just joking you weren't very respectful.

[extreme builder]

ok u need to chill i not really mad i just thought that i deserve to me on it and what are u talking about i don't "copy" anyones design so ur wrong and ur guns are more of copies than mine. and if u think about it every gun is a copy of the very first gun

[dsman195276]

ur wrong and ur guns are more of copies than mine

the dunkis's guns are great. you guns are copys. your machine gun is just baconbit's rebodied.

and if u think about it every gun is a copy of the very first gun

that is so not true.and saying that means that your guns are copys to.

[extreme builder]

it has the same basic concept as bacon's but its way different and improved and thats why we are all hear. to build new and/or improved guns and thats why we build knex ok. Thats how better knex guns are built by slowly making them better. now please stop getting all mad and lets just talk about what we all love and that knex

[TheDunkis]

OK great we made up but y'know if you would have just made a better comment than you first in the beginning we could have avoided this whole thing but lets just forget about that. Yes we improve off of others but it is also great to take gigantic leaps by inventing something new. We all work differently.

[extreme builder]

it was just a joke but u guys took it soo seriously

[TheDunkis]

and that's why I said you could have worded it better. You made it look all too serious because all you said was words that made you look mad you included no hint that you were just joking but at least all is good now.

[dsman195276]

A JOKE? YOU STARTED ALL THIS OVER A JOKE?

^{and they say i'm the dumb one...lol}

[kingghaffari]

who says ur dumb? ill put a sharpened yellow rod in their eye, with my new Mepains sniper rifle. :)

[dsman195276]

nice! actually it is my brother that thinks i am dumb but i will keep the rest to my self. so you built ,mepains sniper rifle huh? what version?

[kingghaffari]

i dont have much knex to be honest! and i ran out on light grey connectors so i only built the basic version. but id shoots like a dream! I like the vid of it the loading vid.

[TheDunkis]

Ok guys we made up and all is good. Once again I help settle an argument. I should become a counsler lol. And that was just a joke I know it wasn't all me. Anyways guys I'm about to create a group that is basically a huge collaboration team. I'm looking for promising knex makers that would help me with projects. We could combine all of our skills so that we can add to a gun to make it flawless in every way posible. You two are definently promising people so please check it out.

[extreme builder]

ok thanks and i will

[TheDunkis]

Thanks for trying to defend me but if you payed attention I did nothing what so ever to defend myself in my last comment as I was hoping to end the argument. Remember my Stg44 used bedbugg2's rubberband mech and then an improved version of someone elses sotck. My other two were originals though. As for every gun being a copy not really. There is a difference between a basic idea we can all use and an innovative technology that was thought up solely by one person. Do fast food places mind that other major competeing fast food places use straws, forks, and spoons? Can we just get along now?

[dsman195276]

well, i hope we can get along. thanks :-)

[dsman195276]

jeez, i spent 3 HOURS collecting all the pictures, by the end i just wanted to get it over with. i might have skipped some of the good guns. sorry. for the record, you not the best knex gunner out there.

[extreme builder]

ok i never said i was the best so don't put words in my mouth. i just think its SO convenient that all of ur guns on it. and u put the knex gun that copied off of my design im just saying im not mad fyi

[dsman195276]

not all my guns are on it. you should really check that before you say that. you act like you are the best knex gunner here. witch gun was that that copied off of your design. i would really like to see it.

[extreme builder]

i never said that i was the best ok?!

http://www.instructables.com/id/Truly-semi-automatic-knex-gun/
this is pretty much my gun just alittle different but we are done fighting
ur a good knex builder and i would like to see more from u =]

[dsman195276]

that is not really like your gun. anyway i dout he was trying to copy off of you friends?

[extreme builder]

friends hey today is my birthday!!!

[dsman195276]

happy birthday!

[mythbusterma]

hey man can you plz add my gun, i do think that its worthy of something, it took me a day just to make the damn thing, and i cant afford a better cam k? but not to offend you or anything....

[g12345389]

im just sad, you like posted every gun in knex but none mine i checked the whole thing ='(

[extreme builder]

i know how i feel none of mine are on it either but u better watch out they might get pissed off at u to because u said that they got mad at me

[dsman195276]

well, concerting: 1. sorry, but your guns stink. 2. only a select like 100 guns out of the 700 we have, thats not "like every gun".

[g12345389]

ok... lol

[dsman195276]

sorry if you thought i was mean.

[hellpilot]

Forgot mine....lol. /cry

[Daniel662000]

none of my things made it. =(

[DRADIS]

Yay, I got in there!

[atomicturkey27]

o the days. i was surfing this way before i had an account

[wussap]

what, no hate speeches by knex haters? i half expected one of those and i do think the list is longer than that anyways nice slideshow

[dsman195276]

i mostly put in the guns. i had to add the list.

[popomaster]

i cant believe my peice of poop shotgun actually made it :D lol, it sucked so much. it was my first shotgun. lol, thanks for putting it on.

[silentassasin21]

can u add one of my guns

[dsman195276]

no, sorry. this is over.

[Reiben]

next year could my mp5 go on there if i post it? or anything that i post?

[dsman195276]

next year? i highly doubt that i will make one of these next year, that would be over 200 pictures, and thats just a guess.

[oodalumps]

Awww my motorized pinwheel MG didn't get a spot? Well it wasn't that good anyways lol.

[dsman195276]

sorry, i don't know how i missed that. i think it was because when you republished it the date was wrong.

[TheDunkis]

yay for knexers!! I'm glad that I got all 3 of my guns in there. So that's all the guns that wern't part of "the list"? Lol by the way I love how you didn't put any message on killerks pistol wether you ment to do that or not as that's probably the most well known gun here. By the way you made a couple spelling errors for example it's STG44 I think you accidently put SRG44 along with not naming some guns properly but no big deal after all it's cool that you did this. I wanted to see all of the good guns we had without having to see "listed guns" as well. Well I'm working on a sniper right now so lets hope it turns out for the best.

[dsman195276]

this is more of the more well known knex guns, not the guns not on the list. the killerk think was a accident lol. i might have made some spelling mistakes sorry.

[TheDunkis]

hmm well for well known I didn't know about 1/3 of the guns on there but hey I'm still glad all 3 of my guns made it on there then. Good job with the slide show. Now what should I make next? I want to make a sniper but I just can't make a good design that I like plus I think I might need some more pieces for that. I just thought up a cool grenade idea. Well I really wanna post something so I think I'll do that.

[dsman195276]

or innovative guns.

[TheDunkis]

Well I just got done with my grenade project. I love it because it is fully customizable. http://www.instructables.com/id/Model-D-Splodies/
I started with a basic idea I had which you could use for grenade launchers or something like that and then I expanded on that idea and turned it into a super grenade! Using this idea I was hoping to come up with some other designs that are similar for rockets or something similar. Lol it turns out I'm starting to like to work with explosives.

[Wicky]

Wow thats a lot of guns, also happy that 2 of mine are in there :D It does give people inspiration to go and build something really nice....at least thats why think :P

[dsman195276]

ya, i think it is the longest slide show on instructables.

[TeacherOfTheWays]

wow very cool, nice job!

[dsman195276]

thanks!

[23GUITAR05]

ROCK ON KNEX WEAPON MAKERS!!!!!

[dsman195276]

ya!

[jollex]

This is awesome, I'm happy that my gun is in it. Btw check out my new gun the PATT-28v1.7

[adio]

i am happy i made popcorn it was realy long lol

[dsman195276]

ya, i spent 3 hours collecting the pictures.

[Whaleman]

Loosewire's pistol should be much earlier; he posted a forum June 26, of last year.

[dsman195276]

this is a list of when the guns instructables were posted. not forums. sorry.

[The Jamalam]

:D

[Kaas_nl]

dude nice =)

[Katarukito]

i rated it :p

[knex_builder_freak]

lol

[dsman195276]

well, i hope knex likes this present!

[knex_builder_freak]

yeah
