Introduction: Knex RBG: Plasma Pistol
A Knex repeater RBG, resembling the Halo Plasma Pistol.
Plasma Rifle
Pros:
-Semiautomatic
-Comfortable
-Looks and fires like the Halo Plasma Pistol
-Small and light. Hide it in a hollowed out textbook :D
Cons:
-Not really semi-auto since it may occasionally fire a burst of two rubber bands, even if the trigger is pulled once.
-Uses a modified piece.
Suggested use: Primary/ Secondary RBG
Similarities and differences between Plasma Pistol (according to Halopedia)
-Both may not fire projectiles when low on ammunition (this one may not fire if the rubber bands are too long, or not enough are loaded).
-Both are semi automatic
-Both have a similar shape.
-Accuracy is similar.
-Does not home in on a target.
-Half the length and height of the real plasma pistol.
-Only holds about 10 projectiles, not 200 (If you think of this as shooting overcharged bolts, this is a similarity)
-Both have the potential to stun (when aimed at the face for this one)

Step 8: DONE!
Here is a video of how to reload and fire. Since I only have two hands, I used a chair to hold the pistol. Also, I used rubber bands that are too long, so the trigger has to be reset manualy by pushing it forward.
Step 9: Overheat Lid
Not necessary, but makes it even cooler!
