T.B.A.R (Thunder Bolt Assault Rifle)

T.B.A.R (Thunder Bolt Assault Rifle)
Due to many requests I am posting the TBAR or Thunder Bolt Assault rifle.

This rifle is just packed with special features. Some new and innovative and some old. First off, it is actually two guns in one. A 16 shot gun with removable clip, and a single shot sling shot that can reach ranges of 100-120 feet. The 12 shot gun reaches ranges of 45-50 feet and has some mighty power behind it. Oh, and both guns are fired from the true trigger in front of the handle.

So this is my assault rifle. The features:
Two guns it one and both are fired from one true trigger.
It has a textured butt for combat.
One of the guns has a 16 round removable clip for large ammo.
The other gun is a single shot slingshot that can shoot oner 100 feet easy.
And it uses a new trigger system that can fire both guns itself.

As you may know this had a rail in the slidshow, but that got taken apart before I made the instructions. If you want to build it from the pictures, here is the link to the slideshow.

**EDIT** This instructable has got up to 4.03 stars.

Thanks,
Killer~SafeCracker

I know this might be kind of weird, but how big is the barrel? Because I dislike the guns with A barrel shell and 3 layers of barrel orange connectors.
which is what most big guns are made of. Just in case u don't understand what im saying (because i'm confusing) go to Oblivitus and look at his rifle the Z35 or something because I made that and the ammo doesn't get hit by the firing pin since the ammo moves sideways in the barrel, "dodging" the firing pin making it not shoot.

You built the chamber incorrectly.
Apr 18, 2010. 9:48 AMPizzapie500 says:
Really? I even built it twice and it doesn't work.
Apr 18, 2010. 7:00 PMOblivitus says:
Then you built it wrong twice. You're the first one to tell me that they had that problem.

Wow, great gun! My shot against some bricks, and it split my gray connector right in half. Then, the slingshot broke my tan clip. That is power.

Aug 12, 2010. 3:57 PMknextremist says:
plz write back as quick as possible how do you build the thing on the front and how do you attach it plz write back (what i mean by the thing on the front is the black fake barrel with the red light on the front)
