these are easy clear instructions

clipping a tan connector into the grey clip on the barrel will stop sight rotation.

i love the recoil in this gun
NYPA in reply to Raiden97Sep 25, 2009. 8:02 PM
Recoil?
Raiden97 in reply to NYPASep 26, 2009. 9:10 AM
when the gun kicks back
NYPA in reply to Raiden97Sep 26, 2009. 11:24 AM
Ha ha! funny. K'NEX guns don't give recoil.
Raiden97 in reply to NYPASep 26, 2009. 4:32 PM
actually, add thick rubberbands to the ram rod, and it gives recoil
geodez in reply to Raiden97Apr 1, 2010. 8:31 PM
the ammo is too small to give recoil, try building a regular TAS gun and firing a grey rod from it with large bands, then you get recoil.
NYPA in reply to Raiden97Sep 26, 2009. 4:41 PM
how?
Raiden97 in reply to NYPASep 27, 2009. 10:24 AM
its hard to explain, just do it
smattman22 says: Jul 8, 2009. 11:36 PM

musicman432 (author) in reply to smattman22Sep 28, 2009. 1:43 PM
Soz, I havn't gotten on here alot this summer! Yea, you make the gun part from ashinflame's 'ible and then you use this one to mod it.

These are terrible instructions, I give up,
smattman22 says: Jul 9, 2009. 12:25 AM
can you post better pics? on step 2 get waaayyy more angles
Tom Buckey says: Nov 15, 2008. 7:48 AM
how far does yours shoot with the pump because mine shot obout 30cm so i took the pump off and it shoot around 15-20ft i also made it a shoulder rest thingy but im not quit shure what its called. ill post some pics and tell me what u think
musicman432 (author) in reply to Tom BuckeyNov 15, 2008. 3:18 PM
You have to use the pump like a real pump - pull it back, then push it forward. Then it should work right.
musicman432 (author) in reply to musicman432Nov 15, 2008. 3:22 PM
Oh yeah, and the "shoulder rest thingy" is called a stock...if you could post some pics that would be great.
Tom Buckey says: Oct 29, 2008. 2:08 PM
its just the same just a different barrel and scope thing on it
musicman432 (author) in reply to Tom BuckeyOct 30, 2008. 11:56 AM
No it's not! It shoots airsofts and bbs and it has a pump on top!
Tom Buckey in reply to musicman432Nov 1, 2008. 1:18 AM
soz about dissing it but i made it and showed my mates and they were lyk ":O tht amazing" and btw i already shot bb out of it without the mod
bunduk says: Sep 19, 2008. 9:05 AM

musicman432 (author) in reply to bundukSep 20, 2008. 9:34 AM
