Heckler&Colt G16A2

The long awaited instructable, the G16A2. Including a grenade launcher. It is single shot because I am too damn lazy. I hope you enjoy my gun, Danke. If you make any improvements, I would love to hear them. Also any constructive criticism is accepted. Constructive criticism DOES NOT include anything along the lines of "get a life" or "knex sucks." You can say something like "this gun sucks", but only if you give a good reason why. A bad reason would be "your gun sucks because it is made of knex". I hope you enjoyed my random babbling, which you probably didn't need to read at all, but I put it there because my PC is slow and I have over 40 pics to load, and I am hyperactive, which makes people think I have OCD which I don't. Okay, tick tock tick tock. Still loading. Elihwa sekat gnidoal, tiaw esaelp. Ah! Sdrawkcab etirw dluow I kniht t'ndid uoy. Uoy did?

Step 1: Barrel.

This is the barrel and front sight. It is so simple that if you can't figure it out, than you probably shouldn't be playing with knex. The first pic is the whole thing. The second and third pictures are close-ups of the front sights, because they are the hardest part of this section.

BLACK OPS@!!!~!!!!!!!!~!@!!~@!!!!!!!!

[Whaleman]

No white ops.

[Owenmon]

?

[sammyhond1]

does it shoot?

[Whaleman]

It is single shot because I am too damn lazy.

You may be even lazier than I am, because that is only the third sentence, and if you havenae got the patience to read that far than you've not got the patience to build this piece of crap.

 Someone has already said that 

[ILIKEPIE333]

I know, but I posted it before I found it

[RMConstruction]

Soon as i saw this, i tought... BUILDDDDDDDDDD, BUILDDDDD!!!!!!! (above said like zombie, actual results may vary) lol...

[djstylecontroller]

heckler & colt? its heckler &koch!

[Whaleman]

Really?

I did not know that.{sarcasm}

G16's don't exist, either. Though the HK G2 and the Colt M16 do exist. This gun is modeled after both of those guns. Just in case you didn't read any of the three-four comments I posted explaining this.

[knex freak101]

mykhailo is trying to kill us!

lol @(~_~)@

---

[Whaleman]

Wrong! I am only trying to kill some of you.

[Stavroz]

That be me then...

Ive got one thing to say...

^{sorry about youre purse}

[DrWeird117]

Could I get a piece list?

[Whaleman]

No.

[DrWeird117]

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[kingghaffari]

(what do you call a bloke? Mr. Ms. or Mrs.?) Ill just say..... --. Mykhailo, does that mean youw (NOTICE THE W) gonna kiw(W!!!) me? Pwease don't kiw me. I wanna wiv. *small quiet sobbing* nice gun, love the gl trigger. :)

[Whaleman]

Bloke is male, every kid past grade one knows that!

[kingghaffari]

Not if you in canada.

[Whaleman]

It is actually British, but most Americans I know, and every Canadian I know, knows what it means... (I say most Americans because some lack the intelligence to know that lamb chops are, indeed, made with lamb.)

[thomaswatton]

what nationality are u, im British

[the vengeful aug]

Ha Ha you can't own REAL guns lol

[thomaswatton]

Notice the difference in gun crime in the uk compared to the U.S ;)

[the vengeful aug]

Wow there must be alot of stab victims in england.

[thomaswatton]

Still probably not as many as The U.S

[the vengeful aug]

It was a joke

[thomaswatton]

Not a brilliant one :/

[RMConstruction]

I may organise a knex war in England on the next easter holiday (plenty of time) if you could, wanna come?

[thomaswatton]

sure! ;). but i might possibly be busy im not really sure yet but if i can make it i will! lol

[Whaleman]

American by birth.

[kingghaffari]

^{Wow, I must be extremely stupid...}

[Whaleman]

No, just ignorant. And there is a difference. Stupidity is from birth, whereas ignorance just means you don't know something. I am ignorant in calculus, while a college graduate is, more than likely, not.

[DrWeird117]

Well, thank you for responding...

[DrWeird117]

I need your help on adding a GL to DutchJ's s3mi-4uto. I built the launcher but I need help on building a trigger like yours for it.....

[kingghaffari]

Wow i probably am ignorant. lol. My 13 year old head didnt understand a word you said.

[Mepain]

^Run!

[thomaswatton]

i've got to say this gun looks pretty sweet but since its single shot im not going to build it

[gremlinz_man]

WHY, WHY WERE YOU TOO LAZY TO BUILD A MAGAZINE!! Please tell me someone has been able to mod this so it has one!

[kennyboy 2]

omg this is so cool 5 stars

[DJ Radio]

NEW SNIPER CONTEST!!!

[benboy207]

Someone make a better instructable please...

[benboy207]

I NEED BETTER INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE GRENADE LAUNCHER!!

[knexguy]

no offence, but when i see an instructable like this i instantly go off the gun. It reminds me of gorkems sniper, which is an amazing gun but i could not build it because of the instructable.

[eheeohoo27]

gorkems sucks-_- it's kinda filmsy and the hopper won't work. lol

[bluestripe]

what pieces does this gun shoot and how far

[The Jamalam]

lol, please wait loading takes a long time ha! you didn't expect me to write backwards Did you!

[Oblivitus]

Does that grenade launcher trigger really go all the way to the GL and launch it? If so that is really cool.

[Whaleman]

Yeah, it does. This allows you to dual wield it and still be able to fire the GL/Shotgun.

[Oblivitus]

It's a shotgun too?, awesome, mmmmm 4 stars.

[Whaleman]

Depending on what ammo you use. You can use a bunch of blue spacers, some small tires, some grey spacers, or any combination of the three.

[Oblivitus]

Come check out and rate my AP3!

[Oblivitus]

Still 4 stars. XD

[Oblivitus]

I think that the handle should be a little longer to accomidate the grenade launching trigger.

[Whaleman]

Yeah... I was running out of pieces and I wanted to finish it up for another project.

[vernors]

very complicated especially the trigger

[vernors]

i barely understand the body

[vernors]

aaaaaaarrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhh

[Oblivitus]

ITS GERG!

[Whaleman]

Why triple post with something as useless as "aaaaaaarrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhh"

[vernors]

sorry i got really fustrated but ill just wing it.

[DJ Radio]

who is "you" the guy who's name in in the image notes

[Whaleman]

I used to be "You"

[DJ Radio]

then why do you have his image notes?

[Whaleman]

Because I used to be him. And I posted this while I was him.

[DJ Radio]

ok

[Oblivitus]

Am I really me?, Or am I him?, I am sooo confused. Lol.

[jellybean10122]

dont have that many hindges :(

[silentassasin21]

how many hindges does this gun require

[Whaleman]

Requires 8, but a lot more if you want the GL and buttstock......

[Stavroz]

ithink its cool!

[da best]

i have finished it im building this

[jabbathegut1]

looks halo ish

[knex hater hater]

lol,its a g36famasm16 rifle thinggymaggiger with a gernade launcher,it looks blan though.

[phlorgan]

hey i know that its one of those out door laser tag type thingumy watsits isnt it?

[Whaleman]

ok. Why post it on this step?

[the_burrito_master]

this is one of the better guns on this sight and you know what my brother didn't build it he only builds the junky things usualy.

[Whaleman]

Sweet, and that sucks.

[the_burrito_master]

I know.

[bruce911]

YAY, I finished building it yesterday and it is quite cool. I modded the grenade launcher a bit so it can shoot airsoft pellets now!!(They go about 40ft) I love the gun but I just did not get the power I was expecting. GREAT GUN THOUGHT LOOKS SWEET!

[Whaleman]

Thanks.

[gunner]

wats the yellow on the carpet lol

[Whaleman]

Carpet.

[gunner]

next to his finger there is like some mustard

[Whaleman]

That would be a toe, and that would be a rubber band.

[Mintyhippo]

I don't mean to offend, but it is heckler and koch not colt. Cool gun though

[Whaleman]

I know nobody reads previous comments anymore, do they......... this is the fifth time someone has said that! I did that on purpose.

[Liberty Prime]

I can't make step 2 with those pics, they are just a finished pics of the body.

[Whaleman]

I can. And it doesn't need to be taken apart, it is the most simple part of the whole gun.

[ShotPain]

O.o Looks like an M4 Assault Rifle...

Great Gun anyways, built it and its really powerfull'

[Whaleman]

thanks.

[darth acexxacer]

are the clear rods bendy or hard?

[Whaleman]

They are what was sent when I ordered black rods.

[darth acexxacer]

so hard

[Whaleman]

oui

[darth acexxacer]

wow a silver hand :D

[Whaleman]

OK

[theKNEXfolo]

man woodnt an rtk74 be awesum to see

[Whaleman]

don't you mean rPk? I don't know what an RTK is

[martijnwester]

trigger

[Whaleman]

um, it is kind of over complicated, but it is a sear-system, so you pull back the ram and it gets caught on a blue rod, then when you pull the trigger, it lifts some connectors that push up on the ram, releasing it from the blue rod.

[martijnwester]

how does the tricker system works? i cant figure it out

[Whaleman]

tricker or trigger?

[qwerty123456789]

Wicked gun. before i build it i first want to know what it shoots and what type of grenades it shoots.

[BobofStickmen]

could you please post a list of pieces used

[Whaleman]

sorry, I took it apart, so no.

[Grim sniper]

nuber one this gun looks awsome and 2 is how far dose it shoot

[Whaleman]

About 20 feet, the emphasis on this gun was looks.

[go123]

great gun but u need better instructions step by step ones

[Ghostsniper]

hey gun looks great but does it use a spring or broken knex? PS the gun to me looks more like a M16 Assalt Rifle

[Whaleman]

It is supposed to, but take off the carrying handle and sights, And it looks like a G3. And yes, the GL uses a spring, and I think it does use one enhanced piece, but I don't know cause I already took it apart for my L96

[Ghostsniper]

k thx

[Pbyrd]

There is no company called heckler and colt. I think put that cause H&K makes G3s and Either Colt or Armalite makes M16s am I right

[Whaleman]

Colt and Armalite made the M-16

[Pbyrd]

Oh thanks I couldn't remember

[ashchetm]

hmm glad i got the spring at lowses

[snipster]

nice gun but this rifle is just a colt and the company is called heckler and kosh not heckler and colt

[Whaleman]

Yes, I know it is Heckler and Koch, and G16s don't exist. It is a G3 and an M16, Hence Heckler and Colt G16.

[mmzdaniel]

looks cool! the GL really works?

[Whaleman]

yes, check the forum topic for details.

[mmzdaniel]

okay... i will!

[smidge147]

hey im not going to build this as 1.i only have 2 hinges 2.im sorry but it looks kind of messy.

[woohoo659]

3.to many snowflakes lol

[gunner]

thats because

[Whaleman]

I hope you will be able to make my next gun, it will be an L96A1, like the ones in the british army. I will try to make it have fewer hinges, but you might want to buy some hinges from ebay or knex any way, because they are useful for angles that aren't 45^o or 90^o

[Flie-Ing GOOse]

i love that gun how long will it take 2 post?

[Whaleman]

I dunn, I have to work out a few kinks, but maybe a couple of weeks

[Flie-Ing GOOse]

mkake it sooner pleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssseeeeeeeeee

[Whaleman]

I can try, but it probably will be sooner anyway, because I try to give longer estimants so that I am never late in posting an instructable.

[Loosewire; SOE Operative]

Wow!! That sounds great!!

[Whaleman]

yay! I really like the l96 because it looks good, and I am planning on getting an airsoft version eventually.

[Loosewire; SOE Operative]

Yeah I've always liked it too.

[gunmanx]

that gun is called a bren right? lol i play call of duty 3 also reply if u do

[Loosewire; SOE Operative]

Yes it is a bren and i really do need to get CoD 3.

[KalphaK]

Ahem. Its the folder name...

[gunmanx]

if u do tell me your ps online name and ill add u kk? and ill pwn u online

[Loosewire; SOE Operative]

I dont play online, how do i do that?

[gunmanx]

ok first tell me wat system you have. if you hav a ps3 then just click on internet broswer on the start then it will ask you to sign up for ps online wen ur done u will have a online skreen name then you caan play

[Loosewire; SOE Operative]

i have a ps2

[gunmanx]

dude u need an adapter and then u creat an account

[Loosewire; SOE Operative]

What adapter?

[Danny]

its called a ethernet cable

[Loosewire; SOE Operative]

ether-net?

[Danny]

no, ethernet all one word

http://www.amazon.co.uk/15m-Ethernet-RJ45-Network-Cable/dp/B000IT5PNA

connect: XBOX, PS2 or NINTENDO to your router

[gunmanx]

online adapter

[Whaleman]

I think you need a gamespy account or something, I don't know cause I don't have it, but usually with ea games, you need a gamespy account.

[Loosewire; SOE Operative]

i did but it wouldnt work

[Whaleman]

do you have the latest version, sometimes if you don't download the latest patch, then you wont be able to play.

[Loosewire; SOE Operative]

i did it all but my computer is really wierd with some games

[Whaleman]

oh

[Whaleman]

oh

[crestind]

0.o

[Whaleman]

yay?

[Whaleman]

the l96 is like killerks magnum on steroids, the rail that the ram goes on is thicker and longer. And no piece enhancement!

[Loosewire; SOE Operative]

hehehe sounds great

[Whaleman]

yay!

[Whaleman]

is that your sten?

[gunmanx]

yea dude a sten is a smg with a magazine on the side looks pritty weird huh

[Loosewire; SOE Operative]

no, my bren

[Whaleman]

right, I get them mixed up because the names are so similar, and they are both from WWII. It looks cool

[Loosewire; SOE Operative]

I bet some people got them mixed up in ww2 and got a few crates of the wrong weapon!

[Baron A]

lol

[Whaleman]

ha! yay, we are on at the same time, but isn't it kinda late for you?

[Loosewire; SOE Operative]

Yeah it was :P

[adamsdead]

looks kool

[Whaleman]

awwww, ok

[smidge147]

bit its still cool

[Whaleman]

Yay!

[halo99]

nice gun

[flames10391]

and by the way isnt it heckler and koch?

[knexguy]

yes, but it is a combination of a heckler and koch and a colt, therefore heckler and colt

[flames10391]

oh ok then

[Whaleman]

thank you.

[ryan knexer]

looks nice

[Loosewire; SOE Operative]

Very nice You.

[Whaleman]

yay!

[Loosewire; SOE Operative]

:D

[Whaleman]

:D

[Loosewire; SOE Operative]

~( : !

[Whaleman]

(-.-)
..^..

[Loosewire; SOE Operative]

:D is that someone looking shifty?

[Whaleman]

possibly, (-.-) who wants to know?

[Loosewire; SOE Operative]

hahaha

[bedbugg2]

what grenades does it fire?

[Whaleman]

It fires ten spacers or a small wheel.

[Dutchj]

Argh, there's too many darn hinges. I only have 1 blue hinge piece. It looks nice though. Will the L96A1 perform well? As it's quite a gun in real life.

[Whaleman]

I am hoping to make the L96 the knex equivelent.

[gotja]

looks cool but like u said im kinda citicizing cuz its 1 shot and its kinda messy but looks awsome how does the grenade launcher work or is it basicaly a giant shotgun lol (my m4/m16/m83 is like that) if it had clips omg omg i saw some of your other guns there realy cool you should get like spawnsored by knex

[Whaleman]

i wish i was sponsored by knex, but i am not. And the explanation for the GL is in the forum.

[Ruben2mei13]

Great weapon ,but you can take more pictures becase its verry difficult to see gr new knex gunner Ruben from Holland

[killerk2]

how far does it shoot

[Whaleman]

just a second.

[Whaleman]

Main gun BB- I dont know, I lost it. Blue rod- Around 20ft GL Shotgun round- Shortest- 14 longest-21 Slug- 15 ft

[killerk2]

that reasonable

[flames10391]

[knex_builder_freak]

[T-man]
