Pineapplebob's Sniper Pistol by PineapplebobTheGreat

It's a sniper, it's a pistol, no! It's PineapplebobTheGreat's sniper pistol!

Okay, so here is my new gun. It started out as another sniper, but then I decided to take of some pieces to make it a pistol, then I didn't like the pistol, so I made it kind of a mix of the both. I was looking for something small but still pretty powerful. With two rubberbands doubled up, it reached 16 feet. I normally use four so it shoots past 30. The front portion of the gun is slightly tilted upwards, giving it the ability to reach farther.

Here is an exact piece list:

Connectors and Others
Yellow: 55
White: 40
Grey 1-slots: 32
Orange: 26
Red: 32
Grey 2-slots: 2
Y connectors: 6
Tan clips: 15
Grey gears: 2
Spacers: 3

Rods
White: 62
Green: 107
Red: 4
Grey: 1
Yellow: 5
Blue: 7

Total 384 pieces

You really just have to follow the pictures on this one. The handle is very comfortable and actually holds strong.

stockless rifle

Not realy.. . even with a stock, it would be too small to be a rifle.

does't really matter anyway

My pistol can easily shoot up to 45 to 50 feet. once i got it to shoot 60 feet, but only once. And i only use one rubberband! See if anyone wants to build it. It has a mag to and a working sight. Most people don't think that a scope or sight can work on a knex gun, but on most guns, they actually can

ok cool, i'll build it.

the one that i posted, the pistol, can not shoot up to 60+ feet. i put on different rubberband. remember, this is with only one rubberband.
knexsniper1 says: Apr 6, 2009. 8:13 AM
with the new rubberband, the average is 60+ feet, so it is improved
knexsniper1 says: Apr 1, 2009. 8:26 PM
Thnx! This is a pretty good pistol too, i built it when i was building your sniper, the sniper wasn't working, but this pistol worked, i got it to shoot about 60 feet with two #64 rubberbands. nice pistol! Unfortunatly, i had to take it apart to build my sniper, i need all the pieces i can spare. maybe some other time i can build it again. great job!

IT...DOES...NOT...SHOOT!!!!!!!!!
ILIKEPIE333 says: Mar 27, 2009. 5:32 PM
no offence, the mag kinda sucks

Cool Looking gun, but it barely shoots.
PineapplebobTheGreat (author) says: Aug 26, 2008. 4:46 PM
barely shoots? I got it to shoot well...
knexsniper1 says: Mar 21, 2009. 12:47 PM
It's true, most guns get past 30 ft easily, 16-30ft is not that great
travw says: Mar 5, 2009. 4:07 PM
no offense dude but 16-30 ft. isn't great.
minime12358 says: Aug 26, 2008. 6:15 PM
Well I put the firing rod on the whites because it could not catch the yellows. If I put enough rubber bands for it to shoot, It does not catch the whites. Also, How do you rate. I want to rate the design.
PineapplebobTheGreat (author) says: Aug 26, 2008. 9:33 PM
The guns that I make don't really have a design, but if you like it, go ahead and rate. The rate stars are right next to your comment. Here's how I make my guns: 1: Make a barrel 2: Make a magazine 3: Make a handle. 4: Start randomly building around the gun. 5: See if you can fit a trigger in to it. 6: Try and make it sturdy. That's all I do. It's not very planned out...
minime12358 says: Aug 27, 2008. 8:03 AM
I meant how cool the gun looks.
minime12358 says: Aug 25, 2008. 8:28 AM
Also, Sorry for the Slight spam, but how do you rate?

gremlinz_man says: Dec 13, 2008. 8:19 AM
looks more like a compact rifle than a pistol
PineapplebobTheGreat (author) says: Dec 15, 2008. 3:41 PM

starwarsknex2 says: Aug 9, 2008. 11:19 AM
thanks i thing you are one of the best knex masters ever
jollex says: Jul 11, 2008. 2:17 AM
I don't Like It. Now here is why.
It has the power of a pistol in the size of a very big pistol. 16 feet with 2 doubled up rubberbands is not a lot.
PineapplebobTheGreat (author) says: Jul 11, 2008. 4:05 AM
Yeah. But with four, you can get over 45 feet.
jollex says: Jul 12, 2008. 2:13 AM
Most snipers can shoot about 75 with two.
