Knex Grenadeish Thinger Mabob

I really liked myhailo's grenade design but it was much too delicate. I decided to make a new design and then I added a pin. It became stronger and easier to put back together. The only drawback of this design is the fact that it doesn't spread as far when it hits the ground. Be safe, responsible, and have fun building!

this thing can save your life in a knex war because if someone is coming at you with a sword you can just grip the pin in one hand and have the actual grenade on the back of your hand and use it as a parry

I have a question, why do you guys think it is so bad? I thought that it was good, easy and original. Isn't that worth posting? And it is not a grenade, I never said it was. That shouldn't be a reason to complain.

well, the idea is good, but apart from the removable pin, its just like tossing green rods, ecept they are in a hard barrel with a small exit.

Love the name, at least it doesn't sound as corny as the others such as the c382 grenade or the stienhecker grenade, wait stienheckler sounds cool...

I know it is not a grenade, that is why it is a, "Grenadeish Thinger Mabob" not a grenade.

this is no better than taking your knex gun and throwing it at someone when you run out of ammo
