ok, ok, I admit i have gotten the gun names from video games. now here goes the intro:

It all started in 06 and a half. A basic knex cannon, block trigger, simple ram, and an unusual taste of ammo.

Today, we have gone so far. And this proves it. Introducing the Knex Longbow SR-L crossbow. simple to make, piece-efficient, and pretty decent overall. It is also the first crossbow to have a bipod and scope (correct me if i am wrong)..................

PROS

-true-trigger
-not flimsy
-60-80 foot range
-foldable bipod
-rubberband stays on the bow no matter what (unless you take it off)

CONS

-not the best stock
-horizontal bow could be longer

Version history

1.4- this was a concept spin- off of my SPEC-9 sniper rifle
1.6- added an extra layer on the bottom of the crossbow and improved bipod
1.8- replaced stock with a better one that features a sight

this crossbow is very similar to my sniper. if you want to choose, it depends on what you want. If you want a solid, sturdy gun, build this gun. If you want more range, build the sniper.

overall, this is a good upgrade for my sniper, i would recommend you build this gun...............

i love it because it looks good and doesn't use a lot of pieces.

Right. Nail my other comment down there. Excluding the age, the lack of peices and the fact that I am nowhere near a Knexpert, I can't help LOL'ing at the first version. Please tell me if you think this is hating and I will remove it.

If you did it would shoot 50 feet.
wertywaster in reply to DJ RadioJun 11, 2010. 3:10 PM

True, though my point is still extremely valid! Please, for my sake, do it!

you most certainly need more than one picture for the 2nd and 3rd steps
DJ Radio (author) in reply to antoman11Nov 9, 2010. 2:54 PM
It looked so simple enough that I thought only 1 picture was required.

AdamDS95 says: Sep 2, 2010. 8:57 AM
4/5! Very good gun, quite powerful but stock is a bit flimsy :)

Is the top layer part where the bolt goes across?, and is is just three layers of the semi circle connectors? I dont see how the bumps wouldnt make the arrow fly off?
MiniBr1t says: Jun 22, 2010. 2:31 AM
do u need the hinge connectors or can u use green connectors
KnexFreek says: Jan 17, 2010. 11:26 AM
 THE HANDLE SUX  srry!!!!!!!! 



DJ Radio (author) in reply to KnexFreekJan 17, 2010. 12:24 PM
I made that a year and a half ago.  I ran out of the right connectors and had to substitute.  It did improve a bit as time went on but then I just discarded it.
KnexFreek in reply to KnexFreekJan 17, 2010. 11:27 AM
 5 stars anyway tho
14259 says: Oct 13, 2009. 1:36 PM
can you please send me steps on how to do the barrel i cant really see wats inside it
DJ Radio (author) in reply to 14259Oct 13, 2009. 1:46 PM
No.  It's just a line of orange connectors connected by white rods.

Nice crossbow but next time don't use sr for the name because your are not a new KillerK. It's your gun not his.
DJ Radio (author) in reply to ferrari484Oct 6, 2009. 1:04 PM
What the heck does the "SR" part have to do with KILLERK? It just means this is a sniper bow.
ferrari484 in reply to DJ RadioOct 8, 2009. 9:54 AM
Sorry, SR just stands for sniper well then it's a different story.
DJ Radio (author) in reply to ferrari484Oct 8, 2009. 12:58 PM
Nobody cares.
ferrari484 in reply to DJ RadioOct 9, 2009. 10:28 AM
I don't care about you either.
DJ Radio (author) in reply to ferrari484Oct 9, 2009. 1:32 PM
Anyways, why are we whining about what I called my gun?  This gun is around 1 year old anyways, the name of it shouldn't be worth anyone's time.
