TR18

TR18
Presenting.... TR18. One of the greatest Knex guns in the universe.

I GIVE 100% CREDIT TO KILLERK FOR THIS GUN!

Also, check out KillerK's slideshow for more pictrues and updates, - TR18  <--Cool box :-)


Well here it is, the TR18. Alot of people really wanted to know how to mae this, so, (with KILLERK's permission) I decided to post it!

Pro's-
Very powerful
18 shot turret
Ram rail
Strong, comfy handle
Strong trigger
Comfy stock
Range- (I got it to 85ft with a white rod, and I easily got 230ft with red rod w/ fins)
Strong design

Cons-
Quite uncomfortable to hold if you have long arms
Orange connector on ram guide can break if you use too many bands.

So, if you build it and like it, don't hesitate to rate it 5*! Also, please rate, comment and subscribe!

EDIT: THIS GUN REACHED 4.33*    :-)

Soo... you like? Of couse you do! Righty'o, Lets get building!
