Knex sub machine gun.

Knex sub machine gun.
This is a gun I made about 2 months ago. It shoots 8 green rods. The distance is determined by the rubber bands you use. I made a sub machine gun because I didn't have enough pieces To make a machine gun and I didn't have a good enough motor.
The one bad thing about it is that it does not have a trigger. If you come up with a good trigger PLEASE let me know before you post a mod.

 My conspiracy/idea for the trigger is sompthing like a lever pull thing where uzing some peices on the main axle holing the barrels you could hook up a rubber band to make the shaft want to turn in one direction. but then you have a lever(rod ?) stopping it. by pulling the lever you move that rod to a point where the shaft can and will spin freely shooting the gun. i am at a library and dont have my parts but i will build this and try to work out a trigger.

you get four stars because the last star i didnt build it so if it runs well i will do five stars

Not a SMG; by definition a SMG has to have a trigger. This is also not very original, other than possibly admitting that it doesn't have a trigger.

This isn't sub machine gun. A sub machine gun is fed by a clip. This by looks not details is a gatling gun.

NO just use a different combination of rods and orange commectors on top to make it the right size.
