Knex M41-A from the movie "Aliens"

This is the knex version of the M41-A from the movie, "Aliens". IT has a 5 shot mag. a ram rod puller that comes off the side and many other features. Please note this is my first ever BIG gun build so its not the best. Range is about 25 feet +, but if you add more bands it could go farther. This was requested by Hedgehog0 and he will be working on a grenade launcher attachment for this shortly after I post the instructable. Thank you for looking and please comment and rate.

this is pretty bad. 2* for the effort.

[Legofanatic]

Its not that bad.

[NatNoBrains]

'Almost Average'
That's what I'd give it!

[nickpkcin]

The grenade launcher... does not work. I am disapoint. >:(

[lphillips094]

it looks... ok. not the best for looks but the front grip seems comfy.

i dont think this looks messy at all. i think its really neat. keep up the good work

[Legofanatic]

Thanks, Its a little messy because everything on the inside was so big so this had to be thick and it doesnt look that great; but DJ Radio gave me a lot of help so ima try what he suggested next time.

[knex vehicle builder 00]

ook that sounds cool.yeah DJ Radio is good at guns, i seen his. but i dont think yours looks sloppy in my opinion. the inside is kind of big though, but i think it still looks good. i might make my next project a gun, even though i've never built a working one.

[Hedgehog0]

All right Lego fanatic!!!
please don't get rid of it until you make a good instructible!

I will do what I can to make a K'nex Grenade MOD!!!

;)

Hedgehog0, out!

[Legofanatic]

BTW, Legofanatic is all one word......................

[Legofanatic]

LOL, ok bro. I will make the instructable but if I make a better version Im gona take that instructable off and put the new one on.

[Hedgehog0]

If you make a better one... tell me so I can adapt my MOD! ; )

[Legofanatic]

Ok

[Millawi Legend]

Well, i suppose its quite good. I like the front grip, that is cool.

[Legofanatic]

Thanks, I like it too.

[MegaMetal8]

I dont like it

But the bolt action part is good

[Legofanatic]

You mean the ram rod part or what???

[MegaMetal8]

The part you cock it with

[Legofanatic]

Ok, thats what I thought.

[H1T4TCH1]

hmm... sorry, i just have to say this is not the best... it looks decent, but the range is crap... sorry, it also looks pretty bulky and big... 3*

keep going, you're gaining a lot of experience by building this! :-D

[Legofanatic]

[MrSillyGuns]

[Legofanatic]

[MrSillyGuns]

k

[~Aeronous~]

Looks pretty messy. Keep trying.

[Legofanatic]

.....

[DJ Radio]

This is better than your previous stuff, but the proportions are off.

[Legofanatic]

Elaborate please.

[DJ Radio]

Make a silhouette of the real gun (Lying flat), and yours lying flat, pointed in the same direction. Both need a white background. Although that is a bit impractical, it's the most accurate way to build a replica.

Also, I don't think the real gun has an 11 layer thick body.

[Legofanatic]

Thats true, I might rebuild this. But if not I will try that for the next replica I do. =)
