Semi-auto K'NEX gun

Semi-auto K\

This gun is an 8 shot semi-auto rubber band gun with a twist, its made entirely from K'NEX!!! When you think about it its a very simple mechinism, i came across it while i was trying to slow down the fire rate of a fully auto gun (the fully auto gun was more like a shotgun becuase of the high fire rate and small magazine).

stuff you'll need:

1) alot of K'NEX
2) a computer (to view this page)
3) hands (to put it together)

Well pretty straight foward, assemble the pieces the way they are in the picture. This part holds the firing mechinism in place.

Hey. Great gun! This was the first gun I ever made. I generally have more fun with it by putting 2 bands in each white notch and then pulling back the recoil thingy to make it work like a rubberband shotgun. :) I also do this because it doesn't always fire correctly when using the trigger...
Oct 14, 2011. 6:42 PMnot so cool says:
hey i made one and it is really cool but when i put about 4 or 5 bands each white peace on and pull the trigger they all seem to fire. how can i stop this from happening.
thanks

No, I don't want dual monitors when one of them is a chunky old CRT (Even though I own one '-.-)

Lol, awesome gun! Scary lookin'. Somebody saw that sucker come out in a K'Nex war they'd forfeit right then and there.

if you load it and oull the recoil part instead of the trigger it works very well as a shot gun
Jun 25, 2010. 9:44 AMzmxninja says:
do you have to add the recoil rubber band
Dec 29, 2010. 10:00 PMdragonwriter7 says:
Absolutely. Without it, the recoil falls and the trigger wheel spins freely. In other words, it won't hold the ammunition, and it no longer works as a trigger.
