Knex MP44 (Stg44) German WWII Assault rifle

Knex MP44 (Stg44) German WWII Assault rifle
OK well One day I was over on some guy's instructable for an AK47 http://www.instructables.com/id/knex-AK-47/?utm_source=related&utm_medium=rhs and after awhile I decided I'd try to make one with a working magezine. After some time toying with it for a couple days it finally turned into an Stg44. I wass able to modify the rubberband firing system by bedbugg2 so that it could fire full auto without losing the single shot option and the risk of bursts.
It does have full auto but it is too fast to use with ammo and fires in a big burst of rubberbands so can someone please help me in modding it to slow down to a more "controlled rate" as in that it always fires at the same speed not unpredictable.
Edit: dsman has been working on a crank for this mechanism so that you should be able to fire full auto in technical terms without having the big burst. I'm hoping to make a new gun with this system that will hopefully be more power efficient and accurate as well as cool looking.

I'm starting my new campaign for seeing who the best knexers are by seeing who is willing to add this list so please do the same with your Instructables or feel the shame of not being honest...yup whether you think so or not you aren't going crazy it's your conscience that's bothering you so post this exact same thing (or slightly modified paragraph) so that it may spread.

Pros
-Semi-auto
-Big burst option
-Large magazine
-True trigger I guess

Cons
-Needs 1 rubberband per bullet
-Last round will always jam
-Rubberband mech and stock we copied and modified from originals
-Rubberbands may not catch ammo and jam
-Full auto does not work properly and so can only be used as a big burst for rubberbands only

Ok sorry I couldn't get any more pictures on how I did it but you can find the original instructions in this instructable-http://www.instructables.com/id/semi-automatic-knex-pistol/
Just look at this picture to see what i did differently
-All you do for the trigger in this one is use a green connector and on the end of one side put a green rod. On the next one but a black nob with one side cut (yup this is how i made the full auto mod) with the side not cut closer to the green rod. Then add a white rod at the other end of the connector and thats it.
-it doesn't matter too much but i replaced the green connectors in the triangle pieces with red connectors...it doesnt do much but i just did it.
-you might not see it but there is a blue rod to block the green connector trigger right in front of it. I would mark it but for some reason I can't drag notes.

Feel like a total a-hole looking back at those comments from 09'. Now that I look at it in 11'. This was a great gun and I was just so full on ego-mode that I didn't realize that this was better than mine in many ways.

Agreed. But I bet you enjoyed watching me rage way back when :P.

 Nah I was reffering to thedunkis, hes sooooooo competative :P But that makes him cool.
Jan 9, 2010. 3:29 PMdynno97 says:
 Like ur so perfect either, you turn everything I say into a competition, you always make me look like the bad guy, and ur being hypocritical with that statement! "You can already see it was going to be better." I was only stating a fact that my STG44 was the highest rated. But whatever. :P
Jan 10, 2010. 8:35 AMdynno97 says:
 Ur totally right, because its kinda like... HUMAN NATURE TO BRAG ABOUT THINGS! I can admit that I ain't perfect and go overboard sometimes but, we ain't perfect! And we ain't causing anyone harm (NOT EVEN MENTAL HARM). So the best thing for YOU to do is accept that everyone is different and try not to CHANGE people just for your standards. (PS I dun get madz on da interwebz, it juzt amusez me when people dun get it)
