Pico-power K'nex gun

Pico-power K\
Smallest K'nex gun on instructables that I know of. It uses only 9 pieces. It can shoot up to 15 feet but it can be less or more depending on the rubber bands you use.


UPDATE!!! put a new rubber band on it and reinforced the gun with duct tape(also makes it look cool)and used a bb as ammo... it hit my bathroom wall 30+ feet away with a good amount of force

i didnt have a black piece so i used a lite brite peg. not as effective, but works. if got it to go 10-15 feet. i also had to substitute the blue pistion for a white one for strength on pulling back.

I made a modded version with a sight increased stability for the firing pin and an addition to the trigger to stop the bb falling out of the end
Sep 9, 2008. 4:47 PMzeda.beta says:

Sep 9, 2008. 4:49 PMzeda.beta says:
i found something cool u can add a white piece instead of the grey one closest to the front orange peice and connect it to the other white with a blue rod and u have a bb cchamber in between

Jul 26, 2007. 10:08 AMilikefireworks says:
the 2 clip trigger wasnt working for me so i put the firing pin on the 2nd single piece. i mounted it right below the barrel so i could just tap the pin down and it fires good
