This is the SIHM-2. My first ever horizontal mag gun I have posted. And this isn't just any horizontal mag gun. It has a never before seen way of loading bullets into a chamber utilizing this type of magazine. The gun is also one of the most compact guns of it's kind I've ever seen. Because Horizontal mags are harder to implement into a gun than typical vertical mags, the knex community doesn't have many guns with a magazine like this.
The magazine holds eight green/black rods. It is removable and is gravity fed in a sense. When you attach a magazine, the bullets aren't automatically loaded into the barrel. It must be done manually. The way you do it ensures that there isn't hardly any friction on the bullet so maximum power is achieved with a green rod. The low friction barrel inside makes sure that the bullet isn't slowed down any and achieves great accuracy.
Because it is a green rod shooting gun this gun is not intended for outdoor use. If you would really like, a grey connector shooting version of this gun wouldn't be hard to make, but it would have a lot less capacity, about 5 rounds.
So the way you load bullets is by pulling back the pin, tilting the gun back a little, pulling down the "mag push" until you see a green rod slide onto the top of the mag push. You then proceed to push it up, loading a bullet into the chamber. To shoot you pull the trigger quickly.
Range is around 45 feet, but again, it is not intended for outdoor use, as green rods are hard to find outside.
That's pretty much it, guys. This gun is a new kind of gun, and I would really love it if someone built it and gave me some feedback on it! This is one of my favourite guns I've ever made. This new idea can also be used with bigger magazines, and bigger guns. A stock would also work with this gun.
This gun is also loosely based on the "PP90M1"
Please leave a comment and tell me what you think! Is this a bad idea, a good idea? Should it be changed somehow? What other guns could I implement this idea into? Comments help me out a lot, guys.
If you build it, tell me what you think!!!! (This gun uses 3 broken orange connectors. One has to be sanded down to a certain length.)

U should make a youtube video and show how hard it shoots and stuff. PLZ!!!
This is so good it won a contest, so this must be PRETTY epic! :D
Note- i realize this post may be a bit late I will add the photo in next post
The gist
The horizontal mag is above the gun, like that of a p-90. The mag empties into the chamber at the end of the mag. The mag is constructed so that two of the green connectors can sit on top of one another. The mag has a ram-rod at the front which moves up as both of the green connectors are fired. NOTE the chamber should be as smooth as possible. The ramrod is pulled forward with 3 rubber bands per peg, twined in a double helix for lessening of jamming.
TRIGGER MECH- this is simple. the trigger itself exists between the sides of the gun. NOTE the gun at the trigger and chamber should be 3 yellow connectors placed side-by-side across. the trigger is pushed back into place with by means of the rubber bands, ten for this to ensure maximum force is exerted on the piece that actually fires the gun. it should be shaped the same as it is on a real gun.
I do not have my Knex so i can unfortunately not build this, i hope that you may
Other than those, it's a great looking gun. We're in severe lack of horizontal magazine guns.
I do like your idea for a higher capacity magazine, but I don't see it happening in any of my guns any time soon. I've tried stuff like that, it never EVER works. I've tried at least ten times in the past to find a way to rotate bullets being a sort of ramp or a mechanism, it just never works.
Thanks anyways. I do agree that more people should try to make horizontal magazine guns.
the mag pusher pushes the bullet to the mag wall, so it doesn't drop. When you cock the gun, the mag pusher moves with it to the back, so the bullet drops. i hope
you get it.
