How to safely snap a knex rod into an entire row of connectors.

video How to safely snap a knex rod into an entire row of connectors.
I've seen a lot of noobs complain about this problem, leading them to take uneccessary shortcuts or downgrading the gun.  So I made this video.  I found that any other method can lead to the risk of damaging knex, while this method leaves knex perfectly safe.

Yes, I'm modding my TR a bit.

*EDIT* If you are trying to pound a gray rod in with this method, use a black rod to push the gray rod in its slots.

Usually I just stare at it. Or I just push it in and struggle like a fish playing chess.

its not so amazing, i can do it too, its actually a genetic trait, similar to attached or free hanging earlobes

lphillips094 in reply to the_burrito_masterSep 28, 2010. 4:53 PM
I know! a lot of people I have known for a long time have attached earlobes and I never notice.

the_burrito_master in reply to lphillips094Sep 28, 2010. 7:57 PM
I know a few.

lphillips094 in reply to the_burrito_masterSep 30, 2010. 9:14 PM
yah
but i think it is really funny when people with attached earlobes get them pierced.

the_burrito_master in reply to lphillips094Sep 30, 2010. 9:28 PM
It's fine as long as they don't get those huge spacers in them.

Judging by Visper's comment it didn't look like he was amazed, and I didn't write that. Attached earlobes? Never hear of 'em.

This is nice, but is there a way to get the rods out? 0.0

DJ Radio (author) in reply to 64runnersOct 11, 2010. 7:20 PM
Getting the rods out is easier than putting them in actually. Just get one of the nubs, and pull as hard as you can.

64runners in reply to DJ RadioOct 11, 2010. 7:25 PM
Is there a less painful method?

DJ Radio (author) in reply to 64runnersOct 11, 2010. 7:37 PM

64runners in reply to DJ RadioOct 11, 2010. 7:38 PM
