KSP V1

Knex Slide Pistol V1

This is a simple slide pistol i made.
It took me about 2 hours to make but I'm always modifying it.
It fires blue rods and the range depends on how many bands you use.

Parts:
Barrel - step 1
Slide - step 2
Handle - step 3
Trigger - step 4
Ram - step 5
Body - step 6
Bands - step 8

Step 7 is putting it all together

UPDATED MODEL COMING SOON - V2

I decided to take apart V1 to make a new gun, i thought about making a slide that fires larger rods and i came up with this new KSP V2 (2nd picture).
It fires yellow rods.
I'll be posting it soon.

I'm finally going to post mu update for this gun. well, after the major updates i made, i'm going to create another instructable for it, instead of updating this one. I'm not creating it for V2, i'm creating it for V3. Take a look.

how does it fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DuOslug (author) in reply to kg125Sep 29, 2008. 9:01 AM

If you mean v1, and i am sure that you do, simply pull back the slide and put a blue rod into the chamber - however, this is difficult to do if you have many bands on the ram/gun etc. V3 removes this problem because the rod can be put into the chamber, before the slide is pulled back. (The row of grey connectors on the slide leave a gap so that a yellow rod can be placed in) I will create an instructable for V3 soon.

what is the range on it?

DuOslug (author) in reply to KNEX BUILDING IS FUNJul 30, 2008. 12:15 PM

Depends on how many bands you use. V2 can shoot much further because it shoots yellow rods and because of a stronger ram that can take more bands.

nice slide, needs mag. overall looks cool good gun

knexguy says: Jul 1, 2008. 8:40 AM

Looks good, could do with a mag though. However, I have experience in putting mags on slide guns, and it can be very hard though.

aall50 in reply to knexguyJul 9, 2008. 9:30 AM

how do u do it?

knexguy in reply to aall50Jul 10, 2008. 9:22 AM

You need to have the mag far enough back that the bottom of the slide is over the chamber (where the bullets come out of) all of the time. Then, you cock the gun, the pin is pulled back, and a bullet pops into the chamber, but is stopped coming out of the gun by the bottom of the slide.

aall50 in reply to knexguyJul 11, 2008. 6:34 AM

complicatd then...

knexguy in reply to aall50Jul 11, 2008. 8:51 AM

Not particulary, all you have to do is incorporate the mag in the handle. That is where it becomes tricky.

aall50 in reply to knexguyJul 20, 2008. 12:14 AM

i see

knexguy in reply to aall50Jul 21, 2008. 8:43 AM

Yep.

aall50 says: Jul 9, 2008. 9:30 AM

can u add a hopper

knexguy in reply to aall50Jul 10, 2008. 9:24 AM

The slide would have to only cover half the top, and have a discreet hopper on the front. Look at a picture of a Desert Eagle with the slide back to see what I mean.

James_Lawrence says: Jul 5, 2008. 4:36 AM

it needs to be a bit stronger though....

DuOslug (author) in reply to James_LawrenceJul 8, 2008. 9:16 AM

Working on that - i'll post updates soon
