Step 1: Building it.

 Here you will build the thing.
1. One side. Notice how the red connector is placed, it's like a lock for the exploding part.
2. One of the other sides, pay attention to the yellow rod with greys pointing in.
3. Another view of the body. Notice the grey connector on the top. This is where the pin will attach.
4. Build these.
5. Pin. Like I said before, the thing hanging down is an unwrapped paper clip.
6. Insert the FIRING pin.

Great!!!!!! but could you mod it so it uses only knex pieces

 The rubberbands are unavoidable, but you don't need the paper clip, like I said, it's just or looks.

Oh, ok thanks, I don't mind the rubberbands I didn't like the paperclip. But i just didn't read the description carefully :-)

Hey builder, is this the grenade you were talking about? If it is, I'm going to build it tomorrow. It looks great, but I need one of my own to test it first.
builder968 (author) in reply to TigerNodNov 27, 2009. 3:48 PM
Yep. It use to just be nothing special, but I made it special :)
TigerNod in reply to builder968Nov 29, 2009. 6:50 AM
Good, I'm building right now.

Wha???

Theres only 6 pictures. Please help!
builder968 (author) in reply to chopstxNov 28, 2009. 7:52 AM
Sorry, those were intended for the next step. I'll fix it when I get some time.
chopstx in reply to builder968Nov 28, 2009. 8:52 AM

Yeah. I figured that out. But I don't get it; when you pull out the pin, it auto matically shoots. It's more like a gun...

builder968 (author) in reply to chopstxNov 28, 2009. 11:30 AM
You have to hold on to the handle parts. Once those fall off, the pin goes and shoots out the explosive.
chopstx in reply to builder968Nov 28, 2009. 4:31 PM
Oh, I see. But it still shoots once you let go; once again, more like a gun.

Thanks! Are you planning on building it?
knex_builder_freak in reply to builder968Nov 25, 2009. 3:25 PM
Ummm I don't know.... I'm not a fan of grenades but maybe someday 4&1/2 stars :)

See if you can get your brother to view it. Getting acknowledged from him is a pretty big thing.
