Here it is. My yellow rod mag fed Battle sniper. It was built with large scale multiple floor knex wars in mind, and just nicely, fits that purpose very nicely.
The Storm 221 incorporates a new size magazine which is just outside the width of a yellow rod, minimising Magazine friction from the old design. The mag is sadly not removeable, but makes up for this in the fact that there is hardly any trouble whatsoever in transition from mag to mag well.
This shoots about 95 ft with 3 rubberbands, one on its own and the others tied together. I couldn't try with more on, because I'm using them on my *gasp* secret project! No sneak previews yet, but you'll see when it gets posted.
Its accuracy is very good too. From a range of 30 ft, I can hit a cardboard target that is about 50cm2 almost all the time.
Version History:
Range of 90 ft.
Accuracy to within 25 cm off target from 30 ft.
Bipod
Has yet to jam, the bullet always leaves the barrel.
No's.
When you move fast, you can't aim at all.
Hurts when it hits you.
This is good in war situations, because you can snipe from many angles. It is slightly lighter than the 220 V2 - which was built more to scare people witless in a war situation because of its hugely unnecessary bulk - which allows this to be fast aimable and more agile so you can run for cover. I love it. I haven't tried it out just yet, but I might show you a quick war video when i get friends round.
War gun - Primary - 4/5. It has a reasonably large magazine, but not enough to hold out very long. Because it is not removeable, each of the yellow rods have to be loaded in separately, or else in a clip with a post it note on the side. The power is great for primary, and this should be formidable.
War gun - Secondary - 5/5. The storm 221 V2 has incredible range for a mag fed gun. If you go to a window, in a tree, or on the ground with a bipod, you are sure to be a formidable enemy. I would use this as a secondary.
General - 5/5. I love it. I just play with it all the time.
You like this? Let's get building this beast, shall we?
EDIT: after i got #64 rubberbands, the proper range is 60 ft max.

Version History:
- V1.0 I rebuilt the 221 again with hopes of making a V2.
- V2.0 Ok, I Added a magazine, like the one in the 220 V2. It fired significantly shorter distance. I didn't like this. (Jamalam cat is NOT amused)
- V2.1 I modded the mag well to have less friction and more power. It worked out better, but for a sniper, I decided that 40 ft was not enough.
- V2.2 I decided at this point to build it a new body, which worked out great, but for some reason after this the range was lowered by over 12 ft. I still have no idea why. Between this version and the V2.3, I managed to fire it and blow up the mag, destroying an orange connector :(. Yerjoking, this was the version I showed you on MSN, and the pics are in the intro for everyone else.
- V2.3 I wanted the range back to proper standards. I started on a new mag design using green rod horizontal intervals instead of white rod horizontal intervals. For this to work, I also modded the mag well. This, I found, shot 95 ft. I am happy!
- V2.4 I just made some minor touch ups to the looks, added a bipod, and posted here!

AWESOME!!!
Then, you posted it and said it was yours, because stepping on that accidentally is pretty hard.
(sorry I had to)
