Spider Massacre

heey guys
this is my first instructable - have fun. I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU DO WITH IT, BUT I'M IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR WHATEVER YOU DO WITH THIS GUN - just that you know. i originally made this gun for my little sister. she is very frightened by spiders and i built this gun for her so that she could get rid of the spiders without coming close. even for my little sister this gun is very easy to operate. just pull back the firing pin load ammo and fire. i designed it to fire green rods but the gun didn't work well, so i had to modify it. after modifying the green rods were the only rods that weren't shot properly by this gun. don't load green rods in the gun because it'll jam or the bullet will get stuck and when you fire, the force of the firing pin will break down parts of the gun. have fun.

plz rate it and post comments

this gun has a quite short barrel in comparison to other guns. i did this on purpose because a longer barrel means more friction. the more friction, the more the range and the power of your gun will be reduced. however, a longer barrel does give more accuracy to the bullet so my gun has a bit less accuracy than most guns. it still is quite powerful.

Have you ever managed to kill a spider with this? How big are they if you feel a gun is necessary? (BTW the gun is nice, more so for the v2)

I built it! Its very good I like how you used a block trigger but made a real trigger to control it.

well, once you kill all the spiders, prepare for a bug massacre. cause, you know, spiders eat bugs.

FrozenFire 99 (author) says: May 30, 2008. 11:44 AM

yeah, i guess you're right. i'll start on my bug massacre right away!

To make the handle get a better fix in the gun try putting a blue bar on both of the green parts holding the handle to the gun. But it is a great knex gun.

FrozenFire 99 (author) says: Dec 20, 2007. 7:14 AM
