Tiny, True Trigger, Mag Fed K'nex Gun -El Mosquito

Tiny, True Trigger, Mag Fed K\
OK well I decided I wanted to see if I could make the smallest truegger, mag fed gun yet. This is what I ended up with. I decided to give it a Spanish name just for the heck of it and because I was tired of giving a gun an acronym for what it is. It loads about 5 green rods ( I think) I wouldn't really use it as a war weapon except as a pocket gun of desperation. It is pretty fun to play with and makes for a great knex gun to bring to school in your pocket.

P.S. I don't really know why I'm posting this seeing how it can be built from one picture for the most part =P

Step 1Handle/ Magazine

Handle/ Magazine
It's a basic handle magazine for green rods. The idea of extending it with oranges is credited to oompa loompa. You could probably shorten the handle further but it would make it rather hard to wield and leave the amount of ammo you can store very minimal.

1-3. All very easy. Make the first two and attach like so.

That wasn't so bad huh? Moving on.

Dec 7, 2011. 8:39 AMLego Manic says:
yea, this is ridiculous, The rod won't pull back from the trigger, can't even pull the trigger cause i have to use the blue rod to pull it down. 3*

I made a gun HALF the size of yours now. It's so ridiciously small. It shoots BB's from a mag. I don't think anyone can beat it.
Jul 27, 2009. 12:42 PMMiles Tails Prower says:
Actually this one also does work horribly. I think it's not good to make guns THAT small.
Jul 26, 2009. 9:16 AMMillawi Legend says:

Hey Dunkis! I loved the platform of this gun, so I went ahead and made a full-sized/compact version of it! I present to you; The modded-to-all-hell "El Mosquito"!

Features;
-Improved trigger system with a nearly FLAWLESS mechanism and more comfortable, less stiff trigger
-Large, 18+ shot magazine/handle, perfect size for grip!
-Extended barrel
-Improved ramrod with grip
-stock/butt for improved accuracy
And, best of all, because of the low-piece platform, it is very beginner-friendly and easy to use!
(sorry for the low-quality picture, couldn't find my camera lol)


This would be my first gun posted onto the site, what do you guys think?
