I present to you a new Battle Rifle that I thought of making. It has a new mag type that ive never used. It is a...... READ THE STATS!


Pros:
Very Powerful
Good range 30-45 ft
Internally pushed mag
Not a standard repeater (uses a bolt)
Far block back


Cons:
Somewhat unrelaible
Mag is funky
Only holds 9 shots


Oh, for those who I told there would be a Barrett, that project got cancelled.

ryry2011 in reply to beanieostrichAug 28, 2011. 8:08 AM

beanieostrich (author) in reply to ryry2011Aug 28, 2011. 8:13 AM

ryry2011 in reply to beanieostrichAug 28, 2011. 11:51 AM

beanieostrich (author) in reply to ryry2011Aug 28, 2011. 12:06 PM

Sick gun i really like the overall design of it!
beanieostrich (author) in reply to KnexFreak360Aug 31, 2011. 12:33 PM
Cheers. I dont really know how to say that this is my favorite gun without bragging lol.
KnexFreak360 in reply to beanieostrichAug 31, 2011. 1:41 PM
LOL!
TheFoofinator says: Aug 25, 2011. 1:24 PM
I like this. Try using connector ammo for improved performance. I see you used the Zaktangle's mag design. A very reliable yellow rod mag.
beanieostrich (author) in reply to TheFoofinatorAug 25, 2011. 1:37 PM
Cheers. =D My mag is slightly different than Zak's, different pusher and it uses broken orange connectors instead of the gray connectors. Zak's mag was a little too unreliable for my liking. And my mag's pusher is also completely internal, no bands sticking out the sides, just one flexi-rod as the pusher.
TheFoofinator in reply to beanieostrichAug 26, 2011. 4:50 AM
My only nag is the fact that it is taped but that is just me being a purist
beanieostrich (author) in reply to TheFoofinatorAug 28, 2011. 8:03 AM
Yea the mag would only stay together if I used tape. This gun is surprisingly unreliable, as the mags are still a little funky. But the priming handle problem is fixed.
TheAwesomestDude says: Aug 25, 2011. 4:30 PM
looks neat
beanieostrich (author) in reply to TheAwesomestDudeAug 25, 2011. 4:33 PM
Cheers. =D And not to brag but this is my favorite Battle Rifle.
TheAwesomestDude in reply to beanieostrichAug 25, 2011. 4:51 PM
lol=D it is pretty awesome
K'nex gun builder says: Aug 24, 2011. 3:59 PM
OMG! This is such an incredible, very powerful, strong, and feirce-looking K'NEX Gun. You've really done an excellent job in the making of this gun. With the Barrel, Trigger, Handles, and the other parts of the gun too. Great Job! And here are my results when I was testing out the gun outside.

Shot #1: Shot about 35 feet, and it appears to be shooting at a firm level.

Shot #2: Tried harder, used EXTRA rubber bands. (COLLOSAL!, shot 45 feet!)
I heard a loud "CLICK!" when I shot the bullet.

Shot #3: Tried all the way. I built the gun a little bit longer, added 1 more rubber band, shot it with force, and fortunately..... IT SHOT 55 FEET! (A new record!).

You did a great job! 5 Star Rating!!!

Cheers. =D Glad to hear that.
superbestknex in reply to beanieostrichAug 24, 2011. 6:11 PM
make instructions
beanieostrich (author) in reply to superbestknexAug 25, 2011. 8:22 AM
I would make instructions if the mag did not need 2 specially, vital orange pieces. But im glad you like the gun.
superbestknex in reply to beanieostrichAug 25, 2011. 1:10 PM
what are the orange peices i might have them
beanieostrich (author) in reply to superbestknexAug 25, 2011. 1:27 PM
The two way orange connector, ill take a picture of what they are supposed to look like when modded sometime.
superbestknex in reply to beanieostrichAug 25, 2011. 3:00 PM
thanks cant wait to see picture could you make instructions for the mag and mech of this gun
dr. richtofen says: Aug 23, 2011. 3:24 AM
cool, but what do you mean with '' mag is funky'' ?
beanieostrich (author) in reply to dr. richtofenAug 23, 2011. 7:44 AM
Cheers. The mag just acted very weird until I modded a couple orange connectors, and now it does not try to shoot 2 at once like the old one.
dr. richtofen in reply to beanieostrichAug 23, 2011. 8:14 AM
ok, is it bolt action like the zkar or is that just an thing you pull to cock the gun?
beanieostrich (author) in reply to dr. richtofenAug 24, 2011. 11:39 AM
It works similar to the ZKAR's bolt action.
dr. richtofen in reply to beanieostrichAug 24, 2011. 12:43 PM
ok, thats cool!
War Hawk One says: Aug 23, 2011. 1:05 AM
he great gun I know you had a barrett in mind because you told me but you can see it at the stock and handle. great job
beanieostrich (author) in reply to War Hawk OneAug 24, 2011. 12:13 PM
Cheers. =D The original gun was going to be a Barrett, but it got too complicated after the receiver lol. So I just made a removable mag Battle Rifle.
apples!!!!! says: Aug 23, 2011. 3:29 PM
That's not really a bolt ._.
beanieostrich (author) in reply to apples!!!!!Aug 23, 2011. 4:18 PM
I could not really think of a name for it. And how does the gun look?
apples!!!!! in reply to beanieostrichAug 23, 2011. 5:24 PM
Lol okay, it's just that there are numerous people who stick something on the ram and are all like "lol bolt action lol" so it gets a tad annoying :P and well, it looks sturdy and like it functions well, at least. It doesn't look like anything new though, honestly.
beanieostrich (author) in reply to apples!!!!!Aug 23, 2011. 5:35 PM
I know, and I can agree that its not all that new. The only selling point of this gun really is the internally pushed mag; and relatively far block back of over 6 inches. And what would you call that "bolt" thing that cocks the pin back?
apples!!!!! in reply to beanieostrichAug 24, 2011. 11:47 AM
Lol I guess, though those have been around for a while :P lol it really isn't anything, it's just...a pull thing. Maybe a priming handle? It....I don't know. lol
beanieostrich (author) in reply to apples!!!!!Aug 24, 2011. 11:53 AM
Ill call it a priming handle then lol.
MegaMetal8 says: Aug 23, 2011. 3:38 AM
getting better as a builder. I LIKE
beanieostrich (author) in reply to MegaMetal8Aug 23, 2011. 7:54 AM
Cheers man. I just felt like trying internally pushed mags on a Battle rifle. =)
MegaMetal8 in reply to beanieostrichAug 23, 2011. 1:18 PM
I can tell you got the frame from a barret, (mag & stock)
beanieostrich (author) in reply to MegaMetal8Aug 23, 2011. 1:37 PM
Yes, I did use a Barrett as an inspiration. It was supposed to be a barrett originally but I gave up after realizing that I could bot make a fake barrel, and the type of mag would not angle.
MegaMetal8 in reply to beanieostrichAug 24, 2011. 2:05 AM
Yeh, OK
BlackShadow12 says: Aug 22, 2011. 4:27 PM
aw. no Barret, but still, this looks like a good gun. =)
beanieostrich (author) in reply to BlackShadow12Aug 22, 2011. 4:29 PM
Cheers. =D The fake barrel got too hard to make lol, so I just gave up on it and made a Battle Rifle out of what I had lol.
BlackShadow12 in reply to beanieostrichAug 22, 2011. 4:31 PM
thats ok =D
beanieostrich (author) in reply to BlackShadow12Aug 22, 2011. 4:33 PM
Well all I have to do is somehow make this gun more reliable.
BlackShadow12 in reply to beanieostrichAug 23, 2011. 10:15 AM
whats wrong with it?
beanieostrich (author) in reply to BlackShadow12Aug 23, 2011. 10:22 AM
I solved the mag problem lol. I have also fixed the somewhat glitchy bolt. So nothing is really wrong except the once in a while glitch in the mag.
BlackShadow12 in reply to beanieostrichAug 23, 2011. 10:23 AM
oh. well thats good that you fixed it
beanieostrich (author) in reply to BlackShadow12Aug 23, 2011. 10:40 AM
Yea, it works a lot better and to my knowledge of knex warfare, this might be a good secondary.
BlackShadow12 in reply to beanieostrichAug 23, 2011. 2:58 PM
yeah =)
DJ Radio says: Aug 23, 2011. 1:18 PM
It's ok.

Thank you DJ Radio, you are a great critic.

Post?
beanieostrich (author) in reply to Flatout Knex Aug 23, 2011. 7:49 AM
Maybe if I can make it work flawlessly then I might post. So far ive eliminated mag problems, but now I have to get the bolt to work flawlessly too.
~KGB~ says: Aug 22, 2011. 4:00 PM
Nice. you seem to be improving greatly gun by gun =D
beanieostrich (author) in reply to ~KGB~Aug 22, 2011. 4:01 PM
Cheers. =D What you said is true.
