Here it is everyone the TBOS. By far, my best knex pistol so far. It's twice as powerful as the TBAP. It's more compact and sturdy, plus it was build for comfort. Some of it's features are: twelve shot oodammo mag, true trigger, extremely nice handle, compact, it has a new ram lock, and it's as sturdy as a rock. It gets a range of 55 - 60 and has great accuracy.
Sound good?? Let's start building.
Tell me what you think it only takes a few seconds.
*EDIT* This gun got to 4.26 stars. #1 for all knex things.

Could anybody please tell me what Oodamo is?
Im new here and dont know very much about k'nex guns.
A reply would be apreciated.

Oodammo is an ammunition round that composes usually of 2 pieces. It's a round commonly found in TR - style guns as well as many sidearms. There are some specific advantages that oodammo has over normal single rod rounds . For one , if a gun is built correctly, oodammo tends to get better accuracy as well as distance when comparing to single rods. The most commonly used round is a "Red connector " with a "White rod" attached in the middle of the 3 connector slots.

Your right, except its always a white rod and red connector. If you use a longer rod it doesn't work as well and its not oodammo.
crazykiddo in reply to xXFor_The_WinXxJul 19, 2011. 10:26 AM
basicly just a red connector and a white rod connted too it
xXFor_The_WinXx in reply to crazykiddoJul 26, 2011. 12:52 AM
Omg,thanks for the early reply...............
crazykiddo says: Jul 19, 2011. 1:09 PM
OK so i built Ur gun but i didn't have a hinged piece so i modded the trigger and it still works perfectly thought 1 miss fire occasionally but still the best oodammo gun eva

you can sub the black ball parts with single gray connectors. you just have to add a little tape on them after youve built the gun so they dont fall out
Cheezpaper says: Dec 20, 2010. 11:38 AM
I made an awesome iron sight. All you have to do is change the 3 slot 90* connecters at the back with green 4 slot 135* ones and put the tan clip with the tab pointing inwards. At the front on the picture above, change the mini-knex transition piece with a y-clip and it should look like a H&K MP5 iron sight
Cheezpaper says: Dec 20, 2010. 8:44 AM
Can we substitute the blue clip?
Cheezpaper says: Oct 16, 2010. 9:43 PM
Lol this gun looks like some gun I saw in a video game..
jimmyjimjam says: Oct 13, 2010. 9:12 AM

I meant like DJ_Radio's oodammo guns, they have removable mags. This one doesn't.

geodez in reply to Pizzapie500May 18, 2010. 7:27 AM
Yes, make the magazine clip on a blue rod instead of a silver/white one, then add 3 of the "racks" one on the inside and 2 on either side, then you can load in the ammo and fire it, when the first is finished pull it off and put on a duplicate, make sure the blue rod comes with the racks and is not left behind.
H1T4TCH1 in reply to geodezMay 20, 2010. 8:39 AM
 wow thats nivce i had a more difficult system
geodez in reply to H1T4TCH1May 20, 2010. 1:47 PM
