could you add more photos of the trigger?

[LordSnipe]

The trigger is the jointed assembly in step 3. It just slots in between the lower barrel rail and the top spacer on the rear grip. Totally unscientific, but that's how I built it.

[prodo123]

good design...just that it's huge.

[tubanator-2.0]

is there anything i can replace the the blue and black turn thing?(not sure of the real name)ill try taking it out and replacing it with something

[KnexFreek]

looks good

[mettaurlover]

for my ammo for stuff like this, i just use an orange connector with a rod in one slot. i dont usually use a grey connector on the end, just because those break off when it hits.

[Chikara]

I made a battle rifle too! it uses plain white rods though. I wish i could put a mag on it, but it is nearly impossible for the barrel to connect to a magazine, maybe i can post a picture and some pro can make a mag for me

[Chikara]

also it has an optionable folding stock. i'm making a bipod too that folds.

[Raikou-san]

This is a really nice knex gun. The only trouble I had with it was the rubber band wouldn't reach back far enough. I'm using #64's. I'm also going to stretch the rubber band tonight.

[LordSnipe]

I'm on vacation and can't check for sure, but I recall that I used three #64s tied together on this gun. the problem is that the BR is very strong vertically, but will flex side to side easilly, so take it easy, or it WILL break in the middle of a firefight.

[Dirtyboyy]

heey lord snipe make my rifle! its realy powerfull ! name: powerfull knex rifle
your weapen looks goog to! 4*

[mikstr2]

wow! that's a great name for a knex gun! not really. you people should make up better names than that. A name that will get peoples attention instead of being a boring or regular name. I think there are way too many people calling there guns boring names so start brainstorming up new ones.

[Herc1]

good gun

[d4rksaber]

i like slingshots, they are the best

[mettaurlover]

my favorite kind of ammo for this type of gun is barbed ammo: attach a grey 2-slot to the end of the ammo. i use these in knex wars to jam up my opponent's gun. brutally effective; takes forever to get one of these out of your gun without taking parts off of it. i ususally aim for the trigger area or the fake barrel of some guns. attaching a line to it makes it so you can stop your opponent(s) from aiming properly or remove parts; in some cases you can use one to remove the mag of the gun.

[The Creatornator]

Excellent gun, 4.0*.

[thomaswatton]

wat is the range

[LordSnipe]

I built a sniper version, haven't posted though. didn't shoot that much better.

[LordSnipe]

it is ACCURATE to about 20-30ft, depending on ammo. the bullet can travel 30 + feet.

[erikos kostarikos]

whoa!this thingy looks powerful!

[LordSnipe]

it's every bit as powerful as it looks, I promise.

[mettaurlover]

i made something like this; it was lighter, had a rubberband retainer, nearly shot through the thickest part of a DS game case, and can put a shot in a three inch wide tree at twenty feet.

[LordSnipe]

especially w/ the dual grips

[LordSnipe]

hehehehe, that's this gun type alright... more like 30 ft I think...

[mettaurlover]

no; mine was focused on power, not accuracy. if i wanted to make one, i could make a gun that could put one in a three-incher from 100 feet...

[jollex]

Looks good, very clean.

[LordSnipe]

rate!

[jollex]

I don't rate.

[DJ Radio]

nice! 4.5*

[knexguy]

I like the bullpup trigger, good work.

[LordSnipe]

rate!

[knexguy]

Ok. 4.5* from me, but only because I keep the 5* for things that are truly iconic.

[pls]

Awesome! The gun looks stealthy :o

[LordSnipe]

lol did u rate?

[pls]

4*:)

[shadowninja31]

where = scope?

[LordSnipe]

sry.. no scope. a scope would either be 1. offset to one side 2. dangerously close to the (spinning) retaining gear 3. obstructing when you stretch the elastic. If you really want a scope you could build one, but it won't help much w/ this gun. the bullets go high consistently.

[shadowninja31]

ok

[LordSnipe]

u could build a scope.... it just doesn't make sense
