Simple k'nex grenade by Bradley

In this Instructable, I will show you how to make a grenade from 2 halves of a knex ball(sold in the 250 piece set with 150 bonus parts, and maybe some others, but this is where I got it ), and a spring. I got mine in a nerf gun. Also, a red rod will be helpful.
Let's get started!

Step 1 Assemblance

The red rod is just here to help, you don't really need it, though it is fairly difficult without.
Also, shrapnel may be added, just put it vertically so All the shrapnel won't fall out of one of the halves, then press the two halves together.

Nice, I had had this Idea for a long time, but no spring that would work =(

[Dumchicken]

i got mine from an old game cube turbo controler

[Loosewire; SOE Operative]

Me too :( Only elastic bands.

_{If you have a spring donation then please post it to ..18 Sodsbury Terrace, Hooverhampton, Bingoland.}

[Whaleman]

Bingoland, eh? Can't say I've ever heard of that place before.....

[Loosewire; SOE Operative]

It is also known as Mecca :P

[Whaleman]

Ain't that where Muslims are supposed to face when they prey five times a day?

[Prranavan]

It is good but if you fill the inside of the ball with blue spacers and green rods, it will be a lot better

[eneergcam]

i did that too:)

[eneergcam]

i thought of this when i was like 10.

[Mr Tenacious]

Nice idea. I would like to try it but i have no ball, what set do you get them from?

[Prranavan]

u can get it from the "BIG BALL FACTORY" set

[Fenderpony]

you can get the ball pieces in the wind up motor set with a red small bin. theyre kinda easy to find so I think you wouldnt miss it in the toys section.

I said in my intructable where to get the ball, It comes with the 250 piece set with 150 bonus pieces. I found that set on amazon.com for about 20 dollars.

[Japaneese taco]

dude this is sweet! I came across an idea that instead of picking up all the scattered pieces fill with baby powder. im doin that this morning

[SeMi_AuToMaTic]

True. You could always launch them with a giant cannon...

[altaria1993]

[Darth Trainman]
