K'nex Gatling gun

$K\$

last photo ←

This is version 2.2 of my newest project, a four-barrel gatling gun. You cock and load the barrels (basically a shortened version of my earlier pistol), grab the handle, and give the wheel a spin. This is a much improved version of my first stab at a gatling gun, which had less power, broke more often and was harder to use.

Note: The first picture is upside-down. You can hold it like that, but it works better when held the other way.

u know, that was actually very mean. i expected more from you dj. at least a little constructive critism! i like the concept of the gun, but the handle looks a little flimsy. (my opinion)

well, the comment was not made to insult or to put down. I was just stating that as someone that i look up to, DJ could have been a little more sympathetic instead of throwing it in his face. I'm sorry if I offended you or DJ.

It's just me saying that it isn't the best. I wasn't trying to be mean.

I'm not too keen on the handle.

It seems to work...I'd be open to suggestions, though...

Actually, it's pretty strong (besides the armrest, which breaks occasionally). The frame flexes a touch when you pick it up, but that improves firing.
