This is my Knex war bomb/explosive/grenade. As the name suggests, this is made For knex wars. It does not blow up in your face while you are making it, explodes violently and sends a lot of knex flying in many directions. Be sure to check out the video below to see it in action. I also added a video of me shooting it with a gun. Enjoy!

Note to all builders of this epic device: do NOT put a rod down the center, secure it, then fire it from a gun using a rod to propel the ammo. The force makes it explode in the barrel.

Personal Experience.

hah thats one of the ways I put those together :)
It's very good, it mostly shoots shrapnel from out the top and bottom (left and right if hitting the floor), very directional. It's epic :)

I combined it with ikedog1995 landmine and it shot it up to chest height and then exploded. :D

How do you build this? Everytime I try to build a segment, the thing explodes. I try to put a finished one down but it explodes. I tried 20 times already and failed at all of them.
