K'Nex crossbow

K'Nex crossbow

its got power, and range. i don't have averages yet but the last version shot 20 feet and has some power. this version has good power and can pierce cardboard with a good shot from app. 5 feet away. not bad.

the reason i am posting this is to show a new idea i had for removable parts. the only removable part i have for it right now is the head rest, but i am hoping for people to make other removable parts for it.

this gun has a ratchet system on it. so it can take a lot of power from rubber bands.

the gun also has a ammo holder that goes into your pocket. you can see a picture of me holding the crossbow with the ammo holder in my pocket(yes it is me(yes i blocked out everything else)).

it is pretty easy to make, so i made it with the metal K'Nex pieces because i though it would be cool.

Step 1 Barrel

easy enough, just make from the pictures. its a track that the bolt travels on. nothing new.

god bless u

[starwarsjedi76]

i put the stock a little bigger and i might just take off where the rubber bands go on and make the barrel longer & make it into a sniper rifle ( mabye)

[sniper_lover]

haha, looks great!! but is the front of the crossbow not a little bit weak??

it should good to be modelcrossbow

[ol987986]

urrm isnt the bow a little bit weak? i mean if u put a couple of bands on it wud probly snap off??

[FredTheBiologist]

no it wont, i built this bow about a year ago and i have still got it, its one of my favourite weapons and ive managed to fit over 15 extra rubber bands onto it aswell as the main bow and god does it pack a punch, it can absolutely destroy about 3 coke cans in a row from about 10ft using a sharpened rod

[jgreenwood]

i built this and upgraded it wit: scope, bigger back, and grip

[anaconda]

i can't tell in pic 11 if thats 3 layers or two layers. please respond

[ol987986]

:O 3 years l8 :D but its 3 layers

[anaconda]

never mind.

[land o cows]

white rod conected to green connector wont move, it is wedged between the orange connector and the white spinning connector. i have the pieces correct and the red connectors attached to the blue rods are in.what did i do wrong or is this how a rachet works? i know rachets only move one way, wont move either way. plz help ty

[ol987986]

dude you've connected it on the wrong end of the barrel or used too many orange conectors :)

[dsman195276]

O i get it. make sure that the white rod is ON TOP of the white connector. i am guessing that you have it under the white connector, which will make it not be able to move.

[dsman195276]

let me look into your problem and get back to you on that. i assure you that my ratchet does work.

[bighead5454]

a few months ago i modded this to shoot some small crossbow bolts
can't injure, but hurts if you get shot+

[zachtorch]

I loved this, but while I was messing around, the arms broke repeatedly, also, could you add some pictures of how the rubber bands are positioned? It was really hard for me to figure out how to place the rubber band on the trigger without it breaking.. Great job on the crossbow

[ccobra]

its a cool gun lolz

[the shandy man]

not made it yet but looks cool... not :) jokes it looks cool so the shandyman will make it.

[supitsgreg]

Nice gun. Like IAC's striker pistol.

[bartluke]

great gun!!

[dsman195276]

Thanks! :-)

[danbaha]

This was my first gun I built. nice job! 4*

[dsman195276]

Thanks, I'm always glad to be of some inspiration :D

hahaha i shooted with a heavily modified sipriani v2 onto a tiny little box in front of the front door. now there are tiny little dents in the door ;) i took it apart now and my dad still didn't detect the little dents ;)

[StarkIndustries]

i like how the box says goal setting lol.

[prodo123]

That's strong? :P

If you need a parts list to build this, you shouldn't be k'nexing.
