Knetix R-SAR K'nex assault rifle

  Video is not working right now(at least for me).  Just right-click and hit "watch on YouTube"

The R-SAR (rail-system assault rifle) introduces a new type of firing system: the knetix rail system. This system is rubber-band efficient because there is less friction between the bullet and the barrel, because the bullet does not come into contact with the other ammo and most of the barrel until it is fired. Unlike other guns, this one uses more of a bolt system than a ram system, meaning there is nothing sticking out when you load it. It is very fun to just play around it.

*UPDATED*
Updates include a safety, more efficient barrel, and a more efficient trigger system

Pros:
-contained firing pin
-good power (50-60ft with the rubber bands i used; you can use more)
-very original
-sturdy
-sounds SICK when you pull back the bolt
-8 round mag
-very accurate

Cons:
-bolt will snap if too much pressure is put on it
-uses 3 broken pieces

Enjoy

Step 1: Outer frames, supports, and trigger *updated*

This step explains how to make the outer frames, the supports, and the trigger.

1. The two outer frames-make these
2. Make these
3. Connect with blue rods to form the stock/handle support (blue rods on handle do not have to be cut but it makes the handle much more comfortable
4. Support-any kind of spacer will work for the middle
5. Make these
6. Connect to form butt
7. Get these
8. Cut rods :(
9. Connect to make trigger
10. Attach supports to one frame, hold onto the other frame
11. Safety
12. Secure tan clip (pic taken after gun was finished)

[headlessknight]

is it possible to short this to like a pistol?

[Kinetic]

Unfortunately no because its length allows the rod to accelerate and shortening it would result in dramatic loss of power.

[Football viking boy]

[topcat123]

If this gun shrunk in the middle do you think you could fire smaller rods

[SonicX 22]

 the instructions are wayyyy difficult to follow.

0.5*

[Kinetic]

 Well no one else had a problem.

[FredTheBiologist]

Outstanding effort my friend i give you 5 for this, ive built it, it never jams and is real accurate plz carry on making these AWSOME weapons!!!

[Kinetic]

 Thanks!  Have you seen my dual turret assault bow? It has become one of the most popular guns on the site.  Build it and you'll see why.

[mettaurlover]

is the ammo SUPPOSED to not even get out of the barrel, or did I do something wrong?

my parents said i could have my knex back tommarrow and i could not get my own gmail

[mettaurlover]

why can't you get your own gmail? ill set up an accy for you on gmail, just give me the username you want and ill make it for you. also gonna need your name for accounting purposes.

[KnexFreek]

coulds u do that for me????? thankyou sooooooooooooooo much idk u can make a username just use the word kevin and tennis thankyou sooooooo much ps respond to this in the morning cause i have to go to bed my parents are strict tonight srry... And thanks again . kevin

[mettaurlover]

i messaged you with the link to make an account for it; just use that.

[KnexFreek]

ok ill make one but my parents will wonder why they arent getting barrrages of instructables emails

[mettaurlover]

just transfer your *current* account to the gmail account, then make a second account using your parents address. or, if that doesn't work(the making a second accy with the address) tell them that you made a free account on gmail so that their inbox wouldn't be cluttered anymore. they'll actually <em>thank</em> you for making one if you normally get a ton of ibles mail.<br/>

[KnexFreek]

begged my parents all day and they finally said yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ill make one tonight and ill email you the new email adress

[mettaurlover]

you made it yet? i dont have anyone new in my contacts or a message saying you did...

[KnexFreek]

No cause when my dad came home he dissagreed with my mom, then he yelled at me, and told me I could only use my moms :(

[mettaurlover]

trust me:if your dad thinks you're not mature enough to get your own email, side with your mom. anyway, females will always win in fights against males; they don't have the equipment we do downstairs to kick...

[DJ Radio]

The only time dads win is when your mom is actually supporting what you do.

[lioneatr]

 true dat

[mettaurlover]

yyyyeeeeeeeppp.

[mettaurlover]

you don't have to send me amil; if you use the link i PM'd you, you'll be automatically added into my contacts and ill be added to yours.

[Kinetic]

Took away your k'nex? Thats harsh.

[KnexFreek]
