Knex Striker Pistol

Alright. Here is my latest creation. Its a large pistol, made for simplicity and power. Thats what I got! It works off of a simple rachet system, similar to the one used in the sipriani rifle. And thats the gun that I give a bit of credit to, this gun is similar to it in many ways. Thanks, Viccie!

Anyway, its got a load of internal support, groovy handle, nice hand guard and is low on parts. So if you like it, why not build it!

Enjoy!

Step 1: Parts list

PARTS LIST TIME! There aren't too many, but I will list 'em anyway.

Great gun! Just finished building and its very powerful but step 5 is soooo annoying! :(

[BleSam123]

I love this gun. With 7 64's, I can get a range of about 100 ft. =) And can I borrow your trigger for a gun i'm making? thanks

[I_am_Canadian]

Cool, thanks very much! And feel free to use the trigger too :-)

[hugamo67]

switch the greys on the end with reds and boom you got yourself an amatuer sight right there

[I_am_Canadian]

Sights are for the weak.

In my opinion anyways :-)

[tytiger33]

This gun + 2 #64+ pen, pencil, large nail,or exacto knife+ box= endless fun.

[I_am_Canadian]

Glad you like it :-p

[pokerface1]

[Zeethesquirrel]

Part Seven, Cross snapping : ARGHGHHGHGHGGHHHHGHGHGHGGHGHGHGHGGHHH MY FINGERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! D:<

[I_am_Canadian]

Sorry about that :-)

[skyfaller]

Woah, fast reply dude! :D

I finally finished this, and it's awesome! I'm scared that if i test the range, i might lose the bullet and im barely have any knex so yeah. But, if you know how far it gets, (with 4 64#) please tell me.

By the way, 5*s

[I_am_Canadian]

Just shoot it down a street, so it lands on the pavement, it should be easy to find there.

Thanks!

Best and most powerful pistol EVER!!!!! I build it didnt even use #64 rubberbands. I used #54 and they stung! awesome and cool again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[I_am_Canadian]

Thanks!

[starwarsjedi76]

do u need 4 ball sockets all i got is 2 :(

[I_am_Canadian]

You don't really need them, they're just for comfort on the handle.

[Bommelding]

Omigah winterbells music :o
This gun is pure epicness.. wouldn't surprise me if it could kill someone when it's aimed right.
I also found out a way to remove the paint of your walls.. just shoot your wall with this gun.. i just did it >_<"

[Bommelding]

I still have the gun and i put exactly 20 rubber bands on it now.
I shot it with 13 bands a few mins ago and it pierced a knex instruction book (about 40 pages) and went through the cardboard box i used to hold the book in place :') This was all with a normal rod.
I'm gonna try this with 20 bands and a sharpened rod now and i wonder what will happen ^^

[ralphkidsguns]

:O
any progress?

[Bommelding]

Yes.. It shot through a weekend newspaper, which is quite thick :)
I cant think of something to test the gun on anymore..

[squiddy412]

WAY too many green and white rods. i have like 30 or 40 of each.

[gassybeans]

WOW! and u can actually build stuff?! IMPRESSIVE!!

[Senior Waffleman]

then you have a really small amount of pieces, i can prob make like 3 of these

[skyfaller]

You posted that comment on my birthday!
Well, some of us only have one bin, and you're lucky for having that much pieces.

[Senior Waffleman]

True, but ive been building up my knex for 9 years now, so i have quite alot but not as much as other people

[ralphkidsguns]

like me!
i have 17 boxes!
and only 4 of them are the small ones! :D

[Knexman15]

this rocks!!! 5*

[lemonpickle]

a little bigger than i remembered

[Luke0147]

this step is taking me years

[lemonpickle]

ahhh, this brings me back

[I_am_Canadian]

:-)

[ericthered98]

Is the hinge necessary? I don't have one.

[I_am_Canadian]

Not really. Just leave it out.

[Legofanatic]

Check out my Sniper version. http://www.instructables.com/id/Knex-Striker-Sniper/

[I_am_Canadian]

Pretty cool! Isn't it a little bendy though?

[Legofanatic]

Yeah it is. I took it apart because it was so bendy.I guess some pistol are better off left... a pistol. XD Still a really cool gun though.

[I_am_Canadian]

:-)

Thanks again!
