Yeah, The Jamalam's Oodammo sidearm version 1 is out, and ready for war!

This is my pistol which I have been working on for about a month now, tweaking it around slightly. It was designed primarily for comfort; note the extremely precise handle, and then for reliability and power. This pistol is a bit above average for power due to the far-back trigger mechanism and locked- in firing pin.

This is my first pistol to use a broken piece *gasp* and unfortunately, there will be more. Hopefully you will be able to find an orange connector with a single broken prong, but it is replaceable with a grey rod. This, however, will be quite unreliable.

Version history
V1.0 - Built to test out a new trigger I made, worked well. 3 Layers thick.
V1.1 - I made numerous mods to the internal structure.
V1.2 - I built a mag for it, which was permanent and a lot like the TBOS from Killer~SafeCracker.
V1.3 - I made it 5 layers thick, save for the handle.
V1.4 - I modded the handle a lot, including Flex rods and the recognisable 2 slot grey connector at the bottom.
V1.5 - I modded the front of the gun to include a removable magazine instead of the permanent one, and added a trigger guard.
V1.6 - I made some mods to the ironsights, triggerguard and mag. This is the version covered in this instructable.
V1.7 - currently in production.

Specs:
Extremely comfortable handle.
Reliable, comfortable trigger.
Easy to use.
Removeable, 8 round oodammo magazine.
Optimised for accuracy.

My ratings:
War gun: Primary - 3.5/5 - Because of its high power, slightly above average for an oodammo gun, this would be a formidable primary. However, its low mag cap and size let it down.
War gun: Secondary - 5/5 - Fits the purpose excellently. It has a reasonable mag cap for a side arm, and its high power and range allows you to sharpshoot from a long distance.
Fun gun: - 5/5 - Its high accuracy allows you to be able to shoot targets and cans. And your big sister.

NOTE: for the most part, I fixed my camera :)

Step 1: The basic gun

Here, you will build the middle 3 layers of the gun and the handle. The broken piece is pointed out.
1. Build 2 of these.
2. Add all of this to one of them.
3. Build all of these. The broken orange can be substituted with a grey connector.
4. Add them all onto what you have.
5. Build this. The tan knob is inside the yellow connector.
6. Add it here. It is locked in place by the white rod.
7. Build both of these.
8. Add them both here. Sorry for the poor quality.
9. Build these.
10. Add them all to the handle.
11. Now build these.
12. Add them all on.
13. Add the 3rd layer to the handle first.
14. Find 2 small rubberbands.
15. Apply them. You will need to slightly dismantle parts of the panel to get them in place.
16. Finish this step up by adding the 3rd panel to the body. The top barrel front should be loose at the moment, this will be fixed in the next step.

This could almost be a gun in it's own right. If you were to fix the top barrel in place and swap all the blue rods for whites, you could have yourself a nice single shot. However, if you want the full version, which you probably do, move onwards.

it looks like a mezak...

~KGB~ in reply to The JamalamJan 7, 2010. 2:57 AM
only some differences...
The Jamalam (author) in reply to ~KGB~Jan 7, 2010. 4:14 AM
Lol, the entire insides are completely different, as are the handles, mags and bodies... OMG DEY R STILL DE SAEM
Storm950 in reply to The JamalamJan 7, 2010. 8:08 AM
Pretty clear you at least had some inspiration off of the MeZak..
The Jamalam (author) in reply to Storm950Jan 7, 2010. 9:27 AM
How so? The handle is the most similar part, and that is completely different and more comfortable.
Storm950 in reply to The JamalamJan 7, 2010. 12:33 PM
Coz the body is the same length, width, looks the same. I'm not bothered, I just think you should just at least admit you had some inspiration off of the MeZak.
Runeblader97 in reply to Storm950Jun 17, 2012. 5:58 PM
The two guns are like night and day. The mezak has gaps and I would not even use it as a secondary weapon. This gun is my first choice and I give the Jamalam props for making such a well rounded pistol.
The Jamalam (author) in reply to Storm950Jan 7, 2010. 12:47 PM
:O OMG DEY R DE SAEM because the body is the same length. 5 layers is extremely common. It's that length because the firing pin fits that length. Doesn't really look the same either.
Why would I admit that if it isn't true?
Storm950 in reply to The JamalamJan 8, 2010. 8:49 AM
Right if your going to be a child about it I don't really care. And Odin, why? It's not even my gun in question here.
The Jamalam (author) in reply to Storm950Jan 8, 2010. 9:35 AM
I was actually mocking you and what others have said here. One person said it, and other people think it's clever to copy them. Most probably haven't even seen the MeZak. I'm not childish.
If anything, you are being childish for "insisting" that you get your own way.

Odin spake the truth. (Eat my Shakespeare). You wouldn't be doing this if there were something in it for you.
TheDunkis in reply to Storm950Jan 8, 2010. 8:55 AM
lol Sure so the MeZak can have credit for this while I can't have credit for every side arm that used the exact same things as my TDS?
Almost all oodammo pistols are 5 connectors long because that's how long a gun can be to use a grey length rod without it not hitting. It's 5 layers just like other guns because it's stronger that way. The body is used on a lot of guns. The only part that looks a lot similar is the back of the gun. It don't really matter as the gun is pretty unique enough to not be a MeZak copy even if it drew any inspiration from it.
The Jamalam (author) in reply to TheDunkisJan 8, 2010. 9:14 AM
Thanks dunkis. If you are online nowish, do you have time to build yourself the secret v2?
TwistedParadox in reply to The JamalamJan 8, 2010. 5:58 AM
To please Storm950's ego
The Jamalam (author) in reply to TwistedParadoxJan 8, 2010. 9:17 AM
True. Since he joined KI, he's become like them. It happens to everybody D:
Storm950 in reply to The JamalamJan 8, 2010. 9:35 AM
Not really. Have you seen most of my comments recently on this? If anything I'm being nicer and more constructive than I ever have been.
The Jamalam (author) in reply to Storm950Jan 8, 2010. 9:40 AM
If you were being "nice", you would take my views into account as well.
Storm950 in reply to The JamalamJan 8, 2010. 10:23 AM
Well I was just expressing my opinion that quite a few others on here share too.
The Jamalam (author) in reply to Storm950Jan 8, 2010. 11:10 AM
Fine...
But, since KBF said that, everyone thought it was cool to copy him.
~KGB~ in reply to The JamalamJan 7, 2010. 6:05 AM
suppose...
travw in reply to ~KGB~Jan 6, 2010. 8:16 PM
STOP SAYING THAT.
~KGB~ in reply to travwJan 7, 2010. 2:56 AM
why?
~KnexBuild~ says: Dec 12, 2011. 4:47 PM
This is awesome! 5 stars.
Fred the Penguin says: Jan 6, 2010. 12:29 PM
cool, this is the third gun to use a mag rail system, but the first to have removable mags, I likey.
Killer~SafeCracker in reply to Fred the PenguinJan 6, 2010. 12:34 PM
Not the first.
Fred the Penguin in reply to Killer~SafeCrackerJan 6, 2010. 12:35 PM
I meant gun that uses a rail system that has removable mags.
Killer~SafeCracker in reply to Fred the PenguinJan 6, 2010. 12:38 PM
Still not the first.
Fred the Penguin in reply to Killer~SafeCrackerJan 6, 2010. 12:41 PM
really? prove it.

I'm talking about rails like on my GOP or your EAP
Killer~SafeCracker in reply to Fred the PenguinJan 6, 2010. 12:49 PM
Fred the Penguin in reply to Killer~SafeCrackerJan 6, 2010. 12:51 PM
no the jackals rails are in front of the ammo, in this gun the ammo sits between the rails like your EAP. LOOK CLOSER!!!
DJ Radio in reply to Fred the PenguinJan 6, 2010. 1:13 PM
Nobody cares about the positioning.  Same thing nonetheless.
~Aeronous~ in reply to DJ RadioJan 7, 2010. 1:25 AM
oh hey did you notice that the way the mag clips in is the same as how ur oodammo pistol?
The Jamalam (author) in reply to ~Aeronous~Jan 15, 2011. 8:09 AM
Oh hey, stop stirring up arguments.
Fred the Penguin in reply to DJ RadioJan 6, 2010. 1:17 PM
not really, with the system you use there is movement, not much, but there is movement, with this system the ammo is locked in place.
DJ Radio in reply to Fred the PenguinJan 6, 2010. 1:28 PM
Who cares?
The Jamalam (author) in reply to DJ RadioJan 7, 2010. 1:02 AM
It will probably work better with my system, so probably a fair amount of people.
Fred the Penguin in reply to DJ RadioJan 6, 2010. 1:35 PM

Shup Foo. Stupid Rag Dawg Slap for DJ.
