Knex cornershot

With this knex gun you can turn the front 180 degrees so you can hide behind a door and only expose the front of the gun. so you can hit them but they can't hit you. You can also turn the front straight so its like a regular knex gun. It has a 10 round magazine. I TOOK THE VISIBLE PART OF THE TRIGGER OFF SO NOBODY CAN COPY. I did not make this gun for looks i just thought of the trigger system and quickly made the body if i wanted to make it look better i could.

[stryker3]

[slimshaddy]

[345138]

[J Moneyman]

this corner shot: www.cornershot.com/

[Lowney]

wow is that real or just a concept?

[ThomasRex]

Yea it really works.

[kellykell]

hey u know 180 degres will shoot u the gun onley terns 90 degres

[14r31337]

180 degrees is the same as a regular k'nex gun.

[Ben_the_Builder]

i think what he meant was 180 degrees horizontally, not 180 degrees vertically

[ILIKEPIE333]

totally real, its in use with the Israeli Armed Forces

[Lowney]

Finally I have what I require!

[Wafflicious]

ROFL, LMAO, OMG U RULE, JOKES!

[Lowney]

Don't I though? Check out all my 'ibles!

[ILIKEPIE333]

lol

[Lowney]

Y'know everyone who has responded to that pic has replied with "Lol." Nothing more or less. lol

[ILIKEPIE333]

Because its funny, what else is there to say?

[Lowney]

ROFL, LMAO, OMG U RULE, JOKES?

[ILIKEPIE333]

[ILIKEPIE333]

its not mine... but wait, are you talking about the actual gun or the knex madel? if its the real gun, its not that skeletony, but whats the new one called?

[PKTraceur]

They have a few models, I know one that you supposed to mount an M9 Beretta. It has a large hinge, makes it looks like a rifle, has IR, that little TV you weretalking about, and a laser. Its pretty cool :) -PKT

[ILIKEPIE333]

The one shown has a USP or something (as far as I can tell), but you can mount an M4 on a special version, just watch the Future Weapons episode

[rawknexstuff]

I saw it too.

[ILIKEPIE333]

It probably is the angle, because they only had one Futureweapons show on the Cornershot, that I know of

[gunman94]

Actually, on that Futureweapons show they covered all three cornershots. One model is for the Beretta M9/M92FS 9mm pistol, another for the M203 40mm grenade launcher, and the last for a skeletonized version of the M4A1 5.56mm assault rifle. I hope that helped! Sincerely, Joseph Winter

[ILIKEPIE333]

what I meant (or what you may have read wrong) was that they only had one show on the cornershot, but thanks anyway!

[Bugman9]

I remember seeing it on future weapons. it also has a screen to see around the corner so you can hide.

[billythebob]

I saw that to -- right before bed time It does have the sreen to show around the corner But they could change the angle at which the barrel bent -- left or right -- for different corners.

[ILIKEPIE333]

yep

[Bartboy]

Kinda pointless...

[ThomasRex]

How is it pointless.

[ILIKEPIE333]

I just had a thought what if they put this as a usable gun in a videogame? wouldnt that be awesome? (Im not as enthusiastic about this as I sound)

[ThomasRex]

You can use this gun. It actually works really good.

[ILIKEPIE333]

I mean in a video game I know how and how well it works

[ThomasRex]

oh.

[Bartboy]

urgg. Just use homing missiles!

[ILIKEPIE333]

thats way more expensive do you know how much those missiles cost? and only using them to kill one enemy?!

[ILIKEPIE333]

not really it can help you to not die in some situations

[Bartboy]

Very limited. If you are behind a wall, shooting them, they can just shoot through the wall! A gun could easily go through drywall. But I guess if you happen to be behind a concrete wall, then it might work.

[gunman94]

They have little Kitty Cat sleeves for the barrell so they look like cats coming around the corner, So innocent, unless your enemy hates cats

[DrWeird117]

Man...That's one cluster-f*** of a hairball.

[ILIKEPIE333]

yep

[In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida]

BEASTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ILIKEPIE333]

it has a capability to fit an M4 instead of just a pistol

[DrWeird117]

And THAT'S! where the homing missiles come in handy...

[zapple]

try makeing a homing missile out of knex!!! if you can then i will give you 3. yesssss 3.

[DrWeird117]

Ha. Good luck. ._.

[In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida]

BEAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ThomasRex]

Thats what i was trying to accomplish.

[dansdoc]

instructions

[erikos kostarikos]

This thing is very ugly...

[Sniper752]

please dont post if you dont post instructions
that is what knexinnovation.com is for
this is for instuctions only
and why dont u want anyone to copy?

[TomCat1]

U have any instructions

[PiTBuLL892]

the real cornershot is a shell and a pistol
the pistol fits into the shell
it would be awesome if you could remove the pistol and fire it seperately aswell!!!
also the real one can fit a grenade launcher if you removed the pistol
jus some mod ideas.

[bounty1012]

yea, the pistol fits into the front.

[ferrari484]

All very nice but as far as i can see there is nothing going from the trigger to the front of the gun. So it can't fire or am i wrong? Ow great job

[ThomasRex]

I took the visible parts of the trigger off. But there weren't many.

[ferrari484]

Ow did you add it or did i overlook it. I TOOK THE VISIBLE PART OF THE TRIGGER OFF SO NOBODY CAN COPY.

[ThomasRex]

I think you must have missed it because i added it like a couple of months ago.

[ferrari484]

Ok then it is pretty cool gun.

[ThomasRex]

Thank you.

[wuzzap]

dude that gun rules 5*, how far does it shoot?

[ThomasRex]

With the rubber bands i have on it it shoots about 80-100 feet.

[billythebob]

Yes--agreed. How far does it shot Ps This will be used to torment my little brother If it shoots far enough So tell us ooooo great inventor

[ThomasRex]

With the rubber bands i have on it it shoots about 80-100 feet.

[ThomasRex]

I am now making a true knex semi auto gun feed by shells that every time u pull the trigger it only shoots 1 and then it shoots the shell out and its feed by a magazine not chains or like all connected to a circle

[Articas]

what be a cornershot look spaztic but cool like and uncoordanated ballistic missile

[Airsoft_Maniac_96]

its called the cornershot

[mise231454325]

utlie

[nickkoppelaar]

IS PERFECT,JUST STICK IT AROUND A CORNER AND START BLASTING AND U MIGHT HIT SOM ONE 2PERCENT OF THE TIME LOL!!

[stale56]

get a mirror for aiming

[rawknexstuff]

Good idea!

[ThomasRex]

Ok well i would like to see you try to make a knex gun like this is is hard. And i had no pictures or any thing and it doesnt look complicated but its just not that same thing for every layer. It is a lot more complicated than it looks and do you know how hard it is to make a trigger that works from a spot where it is after it bends? If i wanted i could put a camcorder on but i didnt.

[dinky]

can you sent instructions ?

[ThomasRex]

i would send instructions but i took it apart the sam day i posted this slide show. Sorry.

[ThomasRex]

i already took it apart. Sorry.

[spudling9]

butt you mean stock but either way is good.

a small potatoe

[Koolman2009]

Cool but, how do you aim...?

[knexsniper1]

interesting...

[ILIKEPIE333]

looks a little cumbersome and big

[ThomasRex]

Actually its not that big its kinda small.

[ILIKEPIE333]

I was just compairing it to the doorway, it just looked a little big

[The Jamalam]

looks fine to me.

[Crazymaniacbuilder]

how does it shoot if there is a bend in it

[ThomasRex]

I had to create a new trigger system but i took off the visible parts in the pictures so no body would copy.

[Bartboy]

That's nice and polite of you.

[rururupert]

i would build this if i hadnt got too many gcses and stuff lol-looks cool-you have tried something no-one has ever attempted and it looks cool too! great innovative work m8!

[ThomasRex]

Thank you.

[The Jamalam]

postage?

[connorty]

it cool that it turns but its really ugly sorry

[wazzaaaaaap!!!!!]

awesome dude! I built one just like that using a special magazinge design that you can slip in and out real easy.

[charlie farthing]

you no how it hinges? is that how you put the amou in

[ThomasRex]

Do you think any body would make it if i posted it?

[mettaurlover]

i will

[builder968]

if i have the pieces i will :-D

[hellpilot]

Ah yes. This gun is being used for S.W.A.T. but it has a camera on the front where with turns the 180 and the screen near the butt of the gun. Sweet replica dude keep up the good work.

[ThomasRex]

Yes i saw a gun like this on futureweponds the show and went on instructables and didn't see a gun like it so i decided to make one.

[hellpilot]

Its cool, but i tried to make this a year ago but i couldn't figure out how to pull the trigger to let it fire on the other side at that right angle :(

[RMConstruction]

use a string mechanism dude!

[ThomasRex]

Well i found a way so you only need 1 string it took a long time to get the right size string because the length has to be perfect but i am not giving away the secret how i did it yet. But i will soon i think

[hellpilot]

A ruler? sizeing it up and keep trying thats my bet

[ThomasRex]

yea but you have to tie the knot and if you leave to much at the end its to tight it takes alot of time.

[jashaszun]

Really cool gun! I love it!

[firefox0070]

dude thats amazing i saw a gun like that on modern marvels and i thought to myself its only a matter of time before someone on instructables starts playing with knex

[therandomperson]

Instructions? :)

[erikos kostarikos]

why it would be useful to turn the front barrel?

[ThomasRex]

Because in a knex war you can turn the front barred around a door corner and still shoot so in a knex gun war you are safe behind a door and still be able to shoot them

[spudling9]

thats like that gun on the movie WANTED

[Bitterberry9]

cool gun, but it looks like it cant turn 180 degrees, more like 90 degrees (than again, why would you want to turn it 180 degrees? To shoot yourself?) Really cool gun though

[thomaswatton]

lol

[ThomasRex]

well 90 degrees to the left or right so 180 total

[Bitterberry9]

o, ic, you should probably say something like 90 degrees in either direction, just to clarify. really cool gun though

[lukeg36c]

yeh pretty good gun it's called cornershot it's israellian and it's found in 1980 by clubba jong

[Stavroz]

Cornershot

[silentassasin21]

!~

[Miles Tails Prower]

XD!!!

[FrozenFire 99]

looks pretty fragile. how does the trigger work? do you have a rope or something attached to the other half of the gun?

[ThomasRex]

I took the rope off of it and the gun is 5 knex pieces thick its sturdy.

[FrozenFire 99]

no i dont mean the gun itself, i mean the hinges. they seem to break pretty quickly.

[ThomasRex]

no they are sturdy but you have to hold the front handle if you only hold the back handle it will break in like 5 minits its sturdy.

[Loosewire; SOE Operative]

I thought that this was a side-break-action at first. It looks quite good. Here is a little challenge for someone, try to make a removable, effective bullet deflector for short bullet guns, i.e green, white and blue rods and grey connectors.

[ThomasRex]

What be more specific because i will try i just need to know exactly what you want

[DJ Radio]

I remember seeing a real gun like this in the book of world records. Post!

[ThomasRex]

i am going to post it i already took it apart and doing a piece count i should have it posted by friday

[ThomasRex]

But you hold onto the front handle and move your arm and the front moves

[ThomasRex]

it freely turns. Why?

[codemaster2590]

does the front of the gun freely turn or is there a lever that needs to be pulled

[ThomasRex]

i think i might post this gun today.

[Knex_Gun_Builder]

post! please!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ThomasRex]

Do you like it?

[builder968]

Yup!!!

[ThomasRex]

Should i post a instructable of it?

[ThomasRex]

Thanks

[Wafflicious]

Cool! this was what I was trying to accomplish with the corner cutter!

[ThomasRex]

Thank you

[pls]

Nicely done!! Cool lookin gun:)
