you mister, have an very dirty mind

thanks :)
Seleziona (author) in reply to Pizzapie500Feb 10, 2010. 6:23 AM
Sorry, clip. Tan clip :)
Pizzapie500 in reply to SelezionaFeb 10, 2010. 6:56 AM
That's ok, I made the gun. Somehow the block triggers on the barrels aren't hitting that rod so they don't fire. No worries I'll make something else. I have today off, tommorrow 50% chance i'll have off, and friday through monday off. If I get tommorow off, i'll have a six day weekend. (Note:IT"S SNOWWING SO MUCH HERE!!!!)
Seleziona (author) in reply to Pizzapie500Feb 10, 2010. 1:58 PM
It's an old gun, don't expect much from it
THERE IS A LOT OF SNOW HERE!

~Aeronous~ says: May 7, 2010. 10:09 PM
 I might make. whats the range?

Seleziona (author) in reply to ~Aeronous~May 8, 2010. 10:52 AM
30 feet? i think less...
~Aeronous~ in reply to SelezionaMay 9, 2010. 12:24 AM
is there any way I can make a crank? my motor doesnt arrive until 4 days.
Seleziona (author) in reply to ~Aeronous~May 9, 2010. 6:36 AM
not really, but I really don't recommend making this gun...
~Aeronous~ in reply to SelezionaMay 11, 2010. 2:06 AM
 why not? its fully auto, and I never made one b4!
Seleziona (author) in reply to ~Aeronous~May 11, 2010. 5:54 AM
This one isn't one of quality.
geodez says: Mar 17, 2010. 2:31 PM

Seleziona (author) in reply to geodezMar 17, 2010. 3:47 PM

webby427 says: Feb 21, 2010. 1:11 AM
Me likey 5* and a sub cos i like just about all of your stuff
FlutterTree says: Feb 13, 2010. 6:05 AM

5* because it's powerful for a machine gun and it's piece efficient ( for me anyway).

Seleziona (author) in reply to FlutterTreeFeb 13, 2010. 6:21 AM
thanks? I didn't even think this gun was very good.....
FlutterTree in reply to SelezionaFeb 13, 2010. 8:48 AM
Well I think it's a good idea to hit your sister 8 times in the face without having reload delay time. Don't worry, she's OK... :(
Seleziona (author) in reply to FlutterTreeFeb 13, 2010. 12:44 PM
LOLZ!!!
FlutterTree in reply to SelezionaFeb 17, 2010. 7:49 AM
Ya I know. But I have to be careful of on of her friends. The only thing that would hold her back was the sling on my T.B.A.R.
Seleziona (author) in reply to FlutterTreeFeb 17, 2010. 2:36 PM
HOLY CRAP!!!!
FlutterTree in reply to SelezionaFeb 19, 2010. 12:34 PM
I know. I threw a pillow at her. ... Then she swore at me and chased me around. OMG once we were dropping her off at her house and my cousin was there, and he tripped her up. He tried to close the van door but she swore at him and randomly slapped him. Everybody laughed after that! :) :)
Seleziona (author) in reply to FlutterTreeFeb 20, 2010. 9:55 AM
LOL! That must've been hilarious!
Danielzxzx1 says: Jan 28, 2010. 3:47 PM
For the skeleton part, the first picture that has the motor, what rod is in the motor? It looks like a brown rod with a face at the end but I'm not sure, could you please tell me?
Seleziona (author) in reply to Danielzxzx1Jan 29, 2010. 7:01 AM
There is NO rod IN the motor right there. If you go to the "Drivetrain Thingy" step, then you see the rod that goes in the motor. Thanks for asking and hope this helped :)
Danielzxzx1 in reply to SelezionaJan 29, 2010. 12:32 PM
ok, I that helped. I buit the gun now with some minor differences. The ball sockets became the gray connectors and the ring between the wheels was removed because it would not turn. Good gun. Even though I leave some yellow showing, it still won't fire. The only way is if it gains enough speed but it can only do that over time of not begining blocked. I think it is because I have low batteries.
Seleziona (author) in reply to Danielzxzx1Jan 30, 2010. 10:32 AM
Thanks for building! I want to put a better trigger pushing arm on, and you probably need new batteries...
Thanks!
3duracell3 says: Dec 18, 2009. 4:37 PM

Seleziona (author) in reply to 3duracell3Dec 18, 2009. 4:38 PM

peets says: Dec 5, 2009. 2:36 PM

Seleziona (author) in reply to peetsDec 5, 2009. 2:51 PM

Seleziona (author) in reply to peetsDec 5, 2009. 2:51 PM

~Aeronous~ says: Mar 24, 2009. 3:16 PM
 is this semi auto? and does it use an engine?
i need to kno b4 i build it.
3* stars for looks alone, I wont rate the rest yet cos i havent made it.
Seleziona (author) in reply to ~Aeronous~Oct 19, 2009. 1:53 PM
Uses an engine, not semi-auto, looks awesome, is awesome and doesnt use many pieces, a good build
gb123 says: Oct 11, 2009. 7:33 AM
it looks cool!! (i havnt built it yet...)
Seleziona (author) in reply to gb123Oct 11, 2009. 3:49 PM
You should! it's pretty good!
geodez says: Aug 16, 2009. 8:02 PM
you really should be proud of this, powerful, accurate, rapid fire, and looks cool, 5*.
Seleziona (author) in reply to geodezAug 17, 2009. 7:07 AM
Awesome! glad you like it!
7stepto says: Jul 10, 2009. 12:08 PM
pretty good. this was my first rapid fire gun i'd made.
Seleziona (author) in reply to 7steptoJul 22, 2009. 9:05 PM
Thanks dude
PineapplebobTheGreat says: Jul 21, 2009. 3:55 PM
I usually don't like small machine guns, but I love this concept. During a knex war, i can just put it in with my amo, and out of no where !!!! BAM!!!!! lol. Good job. 4.5 *
Seleziona (author) in reply to PineapplebobTheGreatJul 22, 2009. 9:02 PM
Thanks man! Glad you like it. I've got a couple more guns on the way too.
DJ Radio says: Jul 5, 2009. 1:06 PM
Nothing really that new, but This is good for a first try. Look at ooda's gatling gun on KI...
Bartboy says: Jul 3, 2009. 3:32 PM
:( Nothing new.... If you made a gat that actually was strong, people would like it a lot more. There are too many of these simple ones, that are very weak.
