This thing really does need a final part count, for those of us who need to order them for the more epic builds.

EPICNESS

amazingly built. i built this and it shot well over 100 feet. this thing is a massive humungous powerfull raw monster that dented my wall when i shot at it from 50 feet away. if i could i would give this thing like 100,000,000,000,000 stars. but i ccan only give 5*. =( best gun EVER
Mar 5, 2012. 10:31 AMsharir1701 quit knexing and ibling says:
dude, you comment to have built it, and only 14 days LATER, comment not to have enough pieces by the 9th pic. explanation?
Mar 24, 2012. 8:43 AMgassybeans says:
i mixed them up, but I borrowed some peices from my friend
Mar 24, 2012. 9:33 AMsharir1701 quit knexing and ibling says:
What do you mean you mixed them up?
Mar 25, 2012. 1:26 PMgassybeans says:
I mixed them up! Why in the crap does it matter? i mixed them up!
Mar 26, 2012. 2:15 PMsharir1701 quit knexing and ibling says:
it doesn't matter, but it seamed weird, and it still does. i don't understand what you mean when you say "i mixed them up". how can you say you've built it and then 14 days later say you don't have enough pieces, and claim to have "mixed them up". i'm sorry... it's just very very weird.
Mar 27, 2012. 5:36 AMgassybeans says:
i normally post things AFTER i build stuff, so i had 2 comments i WANTED to post, but i forgot one, then i posted that one after my break.

Apr 10, 2011. 7:36 AMknex luver234 says:

Jan 25, 2011. 6:34 PMpwnagerownager says:
haha time to build it for the fourth time! loved this gun but its so annoying building !
Jan 8, 2011. 4:27 AMmahmel says:
Are bows better than slinshots? Because there goes more power to the sides... correct me if I'm wrong...
Jan 2, 2011. 3:52 AMmettaurlover says:
Any chance of an overall part count? Kind of depressing when you get halfway through something and realize you didn't gather enough pieces to finish it.
Dec 15, 2010. 5:08 PMDracoUltima says:
Damn.....this gun uses TOO many green rods, but it's COOL.
Oct 7, 2010. 6:45 AMH1T4TCH1 says:

Oct 5, 2010. 7:46 AMH1T4TCH1 says:
