Prototype Knex Grenade Launcher

ThIs gun is finished...but the firing mechanism sucks....I would really appreciate it if someone could build this model, and modify the firing mechanism...I am willing to collaborate. other than that, this gun really looks promising, the grenade design is perfectly designed to fit in the barrel. I will show you how to make each individual piece afteri get them modification, or when I have time. as you can see, this is a really long instructable...but each step goes straight from the last, and the pictures are really clear.

Step 1 The Barrel

you need 4 red connector, 4 yellow connectors, and 8 little green rods.make a square using the connectors, yellow ones facing out of the circle and put two green rods on each yellow as shown.

[WULLYBOY1638]

if its a tue trigger dohnt bother just use a simple trigger like putting a orange connecter in where you cock back the gun then it will work

[awsome]

well yae...it would actually launch a grenade...but like i said it need some mods

[awsome]

[DJ Radio]

Make a true trigger. I wont rate this until you do, or if you can prove that it is impossible to make one here
