Hey Hey it's about time I got a side arm. This is the TDS or TheDunkis's Side-Arm. I guess it could be TDSA but that doesn't sound as cool nor does TDP (in fact that sounds rather weird for some strange reason). And then I don't want to go with putting the S in front of TD...
Anyways on to the pros and cons list. *=updates
Pros
-Good small size
-True trigger
-Angled handle with comfort
-Handle loading magazine *Now features a removable clip!*
-So far it has been reliable
-*Now has a slide. It doesn't require any modification to the gun itself except for taking out the firing pin and adding the slide onto it. It also can use the full grey, black, clear rod for power.
Cons
-Requires a modified piece (oh no end of the world!)
Edit: New trigger design doesn't need a modded piece but it isn't as strong so may break under a lot of tension.
-Sights block out some of your vision (use different sights if you wish I made these for accuracy)
-*removable clip is kinda ugly and a tad bit messy. Nothing really bad and it works great*
-*Slide isn't connected to the gun by anything else except the pin (still works well though) It also isn't a smooth slide. Edit- I've made a smaller size slide but it doesn't go over the top.*
Sorry to keep adding size but this is my new list for the perfect knex gun features and how many apply to my guns.
1. Small size. - a good, small size for sure. *Still about the same size with slide now*
2. Capability for good power. -meh it's decent.
3. Accuracy. -excellent horizontally. It shoots in an arc vertically for increased distance but lower accuracy.
4. Easy, fast loading. -Handle loading with removable auto loader/mag pusher and ability to use hobolord's clips...yeah this scores at least an 8/10.
5. Handling. -Handle is by far one of the best I've made overall and the best I've seen for handle loading guns. It has a good comfort grip around the handle.
6. Cocking. -This is where the gun takes a big impact. You have to carefully set it up to load the ammo and push it against the trigger without jamming *A Slide! Huzzah! Also the gun has been a lot more reliable for me now these days. The Slide still works without any jamming*
7. Looks. -Well I guess this is your opinion but I think it looks just fine.
8. Reliability. -If you're able to cock the gun well enough and are used to it then this gun should be fine although I've had troubles with the trigger and ammo before.
V-1.1 I modified some things to make it less prone to jamming.
V-1.2 I added some extra parts for even more comfort. It now feels not only great to hold but easier on your hands when cocking it.
V-1.25 Nothing really done to the gun itself but rather an addition. I've made a removable clip! Soon to be posted.
V-1.45 Nothing really big just a lot of small changes. I added white rods on the remaining orange connectors to strengthen the barrel and to prevent misfires, changed the comfort grip around the handle to be even better, took off sights, changed the removable auto loader, changed the back to be like the mini TDS to prevent the top from bending, and I also added a fake under rail attaching accessory for looks.
V-1.55 I have finally added a slide!! It makes the gun bigger but for all of you who don't care lucky you!
V-1.70 I added a top for looks and changed the slide into something smaller and more effective.
V-1.75 Dang I'm running out of versions before I get to two... Well I should have another side arm done before then. Anyways I updated the slide to have a manual slide lock and I opened up the right side and made a cover connected to the slide so that when cocking the weapon the interior is exposed on the side to desplay the action of the gun loading.
The Mini TDS has been posted and it's located...sorry I don't have the link but I can tell you it was posted by knexsuperbulderfreak.

Signing UpStep 1Handle
Here is my super awesome handle of super awesomeness. As you can see I gave it a nice angle just enough so it won't jam (plus if you put the auto loader in right it will load the ammo with no angle to it. It loads dark grey connectors if you couldn't tell.
1. Basic dark grey handle. Don't connect the whites and the yellows only the orange and dark greys. Notice the green rods at the bottom to keep the angle.
2. This is an extra part you don't need if you don't want it but it makes the handle so much more comfortable to hold.
3. Very easy to add the part. Also as a note if you do put this part on then if for some reason you are a psycho green rod saver then you won't need them they are just incase you don't use the extra part.
4. Put these on for a lot more comfort when holding and cocking.
5. Update- These are new parts for even more comfort.
6. Update- This is where this part goes. The other one goes on the other side.

it doesn't require a lot of pieces and works really well!
