Well, I'm just gonna say, "Nice Try". Hey guys at least there is one thing that is nice. It offers a way for people with a scarce amount of K'nex to make a gun. Think Positive!

There are already thousand guns that people with only 20 pieces can make!

this argument is sort of getting boring... let's agree that some beginner guns are cool, but after a while of copies it just gets boring.

Finally, someone understands the most basic of all problems!

what do you fire and how?

Aug 26, 2008. 3:08 PMDrWeird117 says:

Any type of rod. You pull back the pin till you hear click! then you load your ammo(any type of rod)then you pull the trigger sideways.

Jun 26, 2007. 6:31 PMdannydutton says:

Apr 24, 2007. 2:00 PMYaano says:

shutup man! i bet its one of his first instructables

Dec 22, 2008. 4:06 PMOvertheriver says:

Even if it is one of his first instructables, if he had actually looked at any knex guns at all, he would see we have hundreds of these already. What does it being his first have to do with anything anyway?

Apr 6, 2007. 9:02 AMhockeyfreak (author) says:

Sorry if I bore you mepain. I'm sure you are a real exciting person to be around, never a bore......NOT.

Apr 14, 2007. 1:55 PMDanny says:

Apr 24, 2007. 7:32 PMknex hater hater says:

youll get better. i do kind agree that this is another knex gun, its kinda kool. Just before you build another knex gun, look at other knex guns a the site. then come up with another idea useing the things you found and use THAT info to build another gun. nice first instructable. just try to build new things. Understand?

Apr 20, 2007. 3:28 PMbennett1125 says:

i havent built the gun but i am going to soon how do you actually fire the gun???

Apr 20, 2007. 8:52 PMhockeyfreak (author) says:
