Knex Semi Auto Pistol with Removable Mag

Knex Semi Auto Pistol with Removable Mag
Hello friends, 
Here is a great new gun. It is a true semi auto pistol that has removable mags. This gun has a little different set up then most normal knex pistols. For one it has no ram rod. This gun uses the idea that Louis XIV came up with in 2008. Kinetic recently came up with an idea and made it into a rifle. For a long time I've wanted to make a semi auto pistol, but the mech he used was way to big. I had to shrink in down a lot and I had to change it up too.

The gun has a removable mag, but what makes this mag different is that the mag is where the barrel typically is.  I did this for two reasons. One, it was more of a challenge. Two, it looks more like a pistol if the mag isn't coming out of the back of the gun. It's also more compact.  The mag holds 4 bullets, which is a small mag capacity for most guns, but the reason the gun works is because of the horizontal mag. The gun shoots 20 plus feet, which isn't bad considering what it is.

I hope you like it!

I have a slight feeling that you've never even played with knex...
Jul 3, 2011. 8:52 AMjamesdude says:
Ok maybe not NEVER played but maybe he bought a bucket of knex once, hated it, and never came back. As in maybe he only gave it ONE chance... and never came back to it.

Jun 25, 2011. 5:41 PMOblivitus says:
Do the rounds fire out of the top of the gun or through the barrel? Looks like out the top to me.

Jun 9, 2011. 1:18 PMapples!!!!! says:

Jun 7, 2011. 11:03 AMGrandeSwag says:
Pfft. Go to kichat.
Jun 8, 2011. 8:09 PMDJ Radio says:
Make it a 3 way then.

BakenBitz, Loosewire's semi-auto revolver already beat ooda's by a ton on design. Loose's gun's turret never has to be wound up, thus making it easier to load. Also Loose basically cleaned up the design in general by using his older design, all he had to do was ad a semi-automatic mech.
Jun 7, 2011. 11:44 AMGrandeSwag says:
Huh? Ooda's is probably more efficient because of the lighter hammer, therefore more powerful. I'm not bagging Loose's gun at all, I'm actually building it right now. Loose's gun has been around for YEARS but he never posted instructions. I don't think its even fair to compare it, even though its probably better than this gun. Winding the turret takes two, maybe three seconds at most? It's more reliable.
Jun 8, 2011. 12:07 PMGrandeSwag says:
Never said they were the same gun but I understand where you're coming from. Try making a removable mag without so many broken parts. :)
Jun 8, 2011. 2:46 PMKinetic says:
Can I have a link to ooda's revolver?
Jun 8, 2011. 3:33 PMGrandeSwag says:
Hi there are a lot of pictures scattered around...and I don't have the links, sorry. Come to kichat and you can probably get them.
Jun 7, 2011. 3:12 PMSeleziona says:
Nice! im gonna make this.
Jun 9, 2011. 6:34 AMSeleziona says:
I made it, I barely got it to work. It shot about once every clip, and the magazine kept coming up so I couldn't shoot. Nice idea, though :)
