Project P.A.W.S.

May I proudly present 'Project P.A.W.S.', that is, 'Portable Armoured Weapon System'

It is my first attempt at developing my own k'nex weapon, and was the result of a week of holidays with nothing to do.

As the name suggests, they are 2 robotic arms bristling with weaponry.
the left arm is a modified k'nexecutioner 1.02 with one 30 shot belt, and weighs about 2.5 KILOS!! (that's 5 ish pounds for you yanks)
The right arm has a semi-auto 7-shot k'nex rifle with 10 shots, a Disc launcher V2 (3 shots) and a NFS sniper (only single shot), and is a lot lighter.
one annoying thing is that you need 2 people to put both arms on, because as soon as you put one arm on, you can't use that hand to attach the other.

**UPDATE**
This project has long since been scrapped, and so I won't be posting :(
I might do a v2 one day though...
*** UPDATE UPDATE*** The V2 has officially been started, and is at the 'concept' stage. Currently has eight weapons planned, and will be a single arm-mounted device. New features will include:
-     Detachable/jettisonable secondary weapon systems
-     Armour plating/shielding
-     MORE weaponry than last time :D
-     sleeker, more compact, more aesthetic design
-     awesomeness!
note all features are 'parts permitting', and no, I have not built it yet. There may be an 'Ible. MAY.

hope you enjoy :)

Awsome!!! In a couple of months ( hopefully ) I will post a Knex series called W.O.T.A. Go to my orange board for more information!

W.O.W

[aleceatsfood]

dude that thing/things are huge!!! how do they not snap off?anyway This is cool

[knex_mepalm]

 You against some guy with a SRv1 think about it, and I think one of your guns are staring at me. It is a bit hard to move, reload and everything. I'd rather make the ironman suit.

[agent harmsy]

Yes well this was the alpha release, so to speak. V2 will be much more compact and powerful. Think a full-arm BFG :D

All i need is about 300 green rods... Ebay time :D

[knex_mepalm]

 It would be nice if you could have 3 individual rotating turrests each with 18 bullets. Like 3 trs on your arm.

[insanecreator92]

No offence but you look like a compleat spaz with that thingt on, plus how are you going to reload?

[SonicX 22]

 i wish u could post :(

im actually gonna make my own suit and become a HERO!

[JohnJY]

 That or you could of called the project: Project OverKill, or Project Capslock. 
Both mean the same thing. 

[JohnJY]

By the way, how do they shoot? Trigger?

[Seleziona]

Make a whole suit and you could be a transformer! 5*

[defrand113]

 that would be funny

[Seleziona]

it would, eh?

[KnexFreek]

[mr. cool 384]

jesus crist man that is beastly

[mettaurlover]

i made a minigun-like thing that could easily be grafted onto this. it's non-firing but looks really cool.

[mettaurlover]

should i post?

[agent harmsy]

picture?

[mettaurlover]

posted as slideshow.

[mettaurlover]

soon as i can get my camera to work right:)

[mettaurlover]

got it working. posting as slideshow.

[Mr. Cowboy]

dude that is great man!! You know that could be used someday in battle for example in Iraq

[agent harmsy]

Well considering it was kinda inspired by the Mk I Iron Man suit... :P

[Mr. Cowboy]

Yeah but still i got the basic layout in my head but i dont wanna tell...

[mikstr2]

how do you reload the gun in battle. do you have to take it off????

[agent harmsy]

Yeah, you do; but having access to a 30 shot machinegun, 7shot semi auto, 3 shot disk launcher AND a sniper rifle kinda balances it out:)

[Speedmite]

Thats 41 shots. Of little pieces. I go for heavy artillery. I have a cannon that goes about 150 ft, and has a good weight. Would leave a nasty bruise. Seriously put a small dent in metal but it broke the piece of ammo...... I have a grenade of knex, and then several pistols, single fire, but I can shoot through the chain mail I made and 3 index cards.

[PikminRed]

Post some of them, I see you haven't posted any Instructables yet. (but neither have I :p)

[agent harmsy]

Yeah, but this is designed for 'fun' in a war, not to kill people! 'sides, I have my copper pipe cannon for that. :D

[Speedmite]

And I dont shoot knex guns that are that powerful at people. I just shoot them away from the house and have the people watching have that look of awe when it goes fast and keeps going.

[Speedmite]

Chain mail aint bullet-proof. Are you talking about a potato cannon? Possibly with alternative ammunition?

[Speedmite]

Light on armour..... You could possibly build holes in the sides so you could reach through...Wait.... Thats like a strait jacket for your arms. It would hurt. Then it would be easy to fight back against. Maybe a quick release to drop off the guns? 5 pounds eh? thats a 2 handed weapon. What sort of power does it give? I dont care too much for rapid or semi and auto, It needs just a few good hits. I judge in index cards. Speaking of index cards, I experimented with ammo of a marshmallow gun so it could shoot through 2 index cards, and i shot my friend in a sensitive area on guys, and he was keeled over for several long minutes. Its light ammo too. So, 2 index cards is a beast gun. So is it?

[agent harmsy]

This was designed for maximum firepower for a single person, but with the lightest equipment, and so it is mid-powered. I had originally planned to make this into armour for the entire top half of my body, human tank style, but I barely had enough pieces (that I needed) to make this! So if you have the pieces, go ahead, but I don't, unless I do a 'remix'....

As for the quick release, I tried, but failed... epicly

Also, this wasn't really designed for practicality, it was more 'lets-see-how-much-stuff-I-can-fit-on-my-arms-at-once'

Still, it could one day have potential.

[Speedmite]

Ah. Ok.

[rlnbkseeberger]

can you post how to make it
