That is very nice, like the expression.

A much better contribution than all the guns.

Scrolls down comments...oh

is all your day spent looking at knex gun instructables and moaning because you personally dont like them or something? you dont have to see them even, so why? why do you critisize our creative achievements by going " i dont like this because there are so many of these already!"
Jul 17, 2008. 9:56 AMLithium Rain says:
Is all your day spent defending other people's knex guns?
Jul 17, 2008. 10:04 AMThe Jamalam says:
no, it isnt. I am not defending other people's guns, i just dont think that it is right that kiteman can say that about knex guns. i dont critisize his, yours or anyones instructables for the hell of it, in fact i am not bothered by instructables that i dont particularly like. I suggest that kiteman should stop looking for knex guns just to critisize them, and stops upsetting knexers.
Jul 17, 2008. 10:59 AMLithium Rain says:
Well, free speech is alive and well on the internet. Actually, Kiteman and I have both had people who critisize our ibles for the fun of it. That's not what we are doing here however. We browse recent ibles, we don't go looking for knex guns.
Jul 17, 2008. 10:58 AMKiteman says:
I spend part of my day looking at as many Instructables as I can, no matter what the topic.

If the project deserves or requires a comment, I make one. As a member of the site, that is my right. Just because I don't "do" K'Nex, that does not mean I am not allowed to comment on K'Nex projects. May I respectfully suggest that, if you want to restrict comments only to those who "do" K'Nex, then you restrict yourselves to posting on websites dedicated to nothing but K'Nex.

Usually, I am positive. If there are problems, I am constructive.

Of course, if you looked at anything except K'Nex projects you would know that.

Of course, a little healthy criticism once in a while is fine, but sometimes you can take it too far
May 19, 2009. 12:48 PMKiteman says:
Look at the post dates - please do not restart a dead argument.
May 20, 2009. 11:30 AMILIKEPIE333 says:
yes, I can clearly see the post dates I just thought my opinion would be appreciated, but apparently not
Jul 18, 2008. 8:17 AMThe Jamalam says:
That is definitely not what i'm saying. I said you don't have to comment, not that you shouldn't or can't. And how is: That is very nice, like the expression. A much better contribution than all the guns. Scrolls down comments...oh or Please, no - Wall-E is much more a display of creativity and imagination than yetanotherknexgunthatlooksnearlyrightifyousquint. Constructive in any way?
Jul 18, 2008. 8:17 AMThe Jamalam says:
don't argue, that is insulting to knex guns
Jul 18, 2008. 10:43 AMBig Bwana says:
Not to step into the argument but you type in Knex and you get 501 guns, now how about adding motors to knex, motor controlers, lasers, leds ?? Just think about it, doing an Ible like that, could add too not only more non gun Knex projects but you could also use it build Gattlen gun's and other more complex gun projects with knex ..... But one elastic gun after another is never going to expand your ideas either way.......
Jul 18, 2008. 9:35 PMGorillazMiko says:
Screw the other bad comments somewhere in the other 82 comments, this is a great Instructable, and now I'm going to go check out the Knex Wall-E you posted. Nice, clear instructions. +5/5 stars.
Jul 17, 2008. 8:30 AMxACIDITYx says:
Sorry, but you've made a good name for yourself with this knex wall-E. Don't ruin your reputation by posting yetanotherknexgunthatlooksnearlyrightifyousquint.
Jul 17, 2008. 12:00 PMThe Jamalam says:
dont you start
Jul 17, 2008. 12:26 PMxACIDITYx says:
don't tell me what to do.
Jul 17, 2008. 1:08 PMThe Jamalam says:
ok, ill stop if you dont start on it!
Jul 17, 2008. 1:22 PMxACIDITYx says:
knex suck
Okay!
Jul 17, 2008. 2:43 PMjuneapaluna says:
Then why are you looking at knex instructables?
Jul 17, 2008. 2:10 AMKiteman says:
Please, no - Wall-E is much more a display of creativity and imagination than yetanotherknexgunthatlooksnearlyrightifyousquint.
Jul 17, 2008. 6:19 AMdsman195276 says:
jahoovi please ignore kiteman's opinion.
Jul 17, 2008. 6:47 AMKiteman says:
"...ignore kiteman's opinion..." if you want the K'Nex community to continue to be known as those kids who keep making guns.

I've already said elsewhere, if you want the K'Nex image to improve, you must diversify your projects. This is a perfect example - a unique creation, not just another in a long list.

Some people just don't want to be helped...
Jul 22, 2009. 9:19 AM=!snap!= says:
I definitly agree Id rather be making more things than guna but if you search "Knex" then 90% of what you find will be a gun made by kids and teenagers
Jul 20, 2008. 6:39 AMKiteman says:
Bigger, maybe, but apart from that it's just another K'NEX "gun".

Here's a thought - devices that use elastic potential energy to fire single shots are called catapults, are they not?
Jul 20, 2008. 10:37 AMI_am_Canadian says:
Well, I guess, but it shoots a lot more cannon like ammo, and I was not too fussed about being correct with the preticular name of my creation, I just wanted it to sound cool. And just so you know, Im working on a knex sorting machine, Which is pretty cool.
Jul 18, 2008. 4:35 AMThe Jamalam says:
we dont care what people think of us, we are having fun in our own community, with the occasional visit from a person who is afraid of knex guns trying to stop us.
Jul 20, 2008. 6:42 AMKiteman says:
Hmm... an elastic band catapult that can fire a piece of plastic nearly all the way across a room and even dent some paper... Very scary.

If you're the piece of paper.
Jul 17, 2008. 8:32 AMThe Jamalam says:
i agree withdsman195276 on this. Why should we stop doing what we like to make a single person happy? Its not like its harming you in any way kiteman, so stop trying to destroy our tradition! Do we insult your instructables? No. Also, guns are a display of creativity, including my gun which i am about to post which has a new mechanism - which i invented, i need creativity todo that! Yes - we dont want to be helped because we dont need help, you are trying to stop us from having fun. so back off kiteman!
Jul 17, 2008. 10:00 AMLithium Rain says:
...your tradition? So, K'nexers have, like, traditions? Are you a culture then? With your own language and customs? And country? And legislative body? And leader?
Jul 17, 2008. 8:44 PMflames10391 says:
Yes, we speak the indigenous language of Connectorish, and obviously our main custom is to build guns. We are from the land of Plasticparts. Our legislative body is made up of an oligarchy, a council containing the forerunners of k'nex, such as killerk, mepain, etc.. LOL
Jul 17, 2008. 10:09 AMThe Jamalam says:
whoah! slow down, i said tradition not society. knex has a "tradition" of making guns.
Jul 17, 2008. 10:09 AMLithium Rain says:
I think you mean that K'nexers have a tradition of making guns?
