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!

Favorited! Want to build it when I have time. I don't need it to shoot more then 20 ft, so its gonna be fun if I can build it right!

[jdoggkuhn]

and what does it shoot grey connectors or green rods ?

[SonicX 22]

Grey Connectors are obviously not gonna fit into that...

[PotatoCoffee]

It doesn't work.

[jdoggkuhn]

i want it to hold more bullets can i use a green rod instead of the white one on the green connector and the red connector nice gun by the way

[lego dude 305]

kenex suck try lego. Its way better

[Killer~SafeCracker]

Hmm I have a slight feeling that you don't like knex.

[jamesdude]

I have a slight feeling that you've never even played with knex...

[Killer~SafeCracker]

Ehh define played please.

[jamesdude]

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.

[Killer~SafeCracker]

Ohh you were talking to him.. the way you replied I thought you meant me. :p Yeah, some people just like legos. Almost none of my friends even know what knex are. :p

[knexcridict5-1]

just built it and i giv it a 1

[conaraptor]

I followed the pics and it doesn't work :( I spent ages making it! Try making it clearer. :)

[TigerNod]

Building right now. I hope this is a good add-on for my ZKAR and a replacement for my KLS. It looks nice, that is.

[soldeir 9]

just finished..it is..EPIC!!!! 5*!!! yay, i made this instructable 5*!! your welcome! ;) u r simply amazing, Killer~SafeCracker!

[Killer~SafeCracker]

Thanks man, I'm glad you like it.

[soldeir 9]

how long do the cut rods need to be? what kind of rod should i cut? i have a lot of blue rods...?

[soldeir 9]

never mind i got it

[mulletman6]

Made it - tis very good. The first "bullet" occasionally gets stuck, but the next 3 don't :)

[Kinetic]

Need a videuh!!! Lol cool gun. Hows v.2 working?

[Killer~SafeCracker]

I haven't spent too much more time on perfecting it. It great with one shot but I still need to perfect the loading. But it is better than this already.

[Oblivitus]

I've come up with a killer new idea for this mech, check it out; http://www.instructables.com/id/Knex-Concepts-10/

[Killer~SafeCracker]

Cool idea! That would give more power. I'm working on version 2 right now. Seeing that the loading was the main problem people were having, I tried to fix that and its a lot more reliable now.

[Killer~SafeCracker]

Version 2 of this gun should be out soon.

[jamesdude]

I like the concept.

[knexinglemon]

picture 7 dosent maky any sence at all

[Killer~SafeCracker]

Apparently you cant read the notes. You insert the mag.

[Oblivitus]

Do the rounds fire out of the top of the gun or through the barrel? Looks like out the top to me.

[Killer~SafeCracker]

Out the top.

[Bommelding]

I don't really get picture 5 o.o
And where does the thing you make in picture 4 go?

[DJ Radio]

Knex gun contest of the summer: This VS loosewire's semi-auto revolver.

[hazza the gun]

i made loosewires revolver yesterday and i love it. it really is epic. im sure that it will win

[The Nomlack]

oh he posted the semi auto revolver? i havent been on KI in a while

[apples!!!!!]

He posted it here.

[GrandeSwag]

Pfft. Go to kichat.

[DJ Radio]

Make it a 3 way then.

[Raz1r Knex Bull3t]

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.

[GrandeSwag]

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.

[Killer~SafeCracker]

The point of this gun was to not use a turret. That has been done as you said. I have not seen any pistols that are semi auto and have a removable mag and don't use a turret.  Does Ooda's or Loose's guns shoot better I don't know, but they are a different concept than this.

[GrandeSwag]

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. :)
