I want to see some knex guns in this ebook. After all, they are the most abundant, and they are also what started this community.

Guns are not very innovative, they ate always just the same.
Jun 12, 2011. 4:07 PMDJ Radio says:
And in any case my point was that there should be at least ONE knex gun in there.
May 30, 2011. 5:35 PMDJ Radio says:
I disagree.
Jun 11, 2011. 3:55 PMSketch98 says:
I can see his point, the large majority of guns are copies or very very close to it, although there are many great and innovative ones.
Jun 12, 2011. 4:03 PMDJ Radio says:
I think innovation is either making an entirely new concept (for example, The Dunkis's oodammo pistol), or making an improvement on said concept (MeZak pretty much was an improvement in that it was more powerful and reliable than already existing oodammo pistols)
Jun 12, 2011. 5:38 AMapples!!!!! says:
A large majority are, indeed...but that's what separates the innovative ones from the rest.

Maybe they don't want to promote violence?
Jul 6, 2011. 4:51 PMvideogamemaster says:
But whyever wouldn't they want to do that? Kids don't get enough violence these days from the Internet, cartoons, movies.... They need SOMETHING violent!
Jul 8, 2011. 4:55 AMSorunome says:
If you search correctly you find a lot of violent things out there....so thats not a argument.
