notice the etape is taped over both the ball socket and the rod the rubberband acts as a cushion and helps hold everything together the extra etape over the band adds more strength and keeps the band wound tight
the first layer of etape should be 3 thick or so no more than 5 then the band is wound on and then another 2 to 4 layers of etape over the band it should be compact still
if made correctly this pin will/should never break eventually it will wear but that is life... you can but shouldn't dryfire the gun with this ram i dry fire it all the time
its kinda the same reason u shouldn't dry fire a bow every action has an equal an opposite reaction so the force of the pin going forward without shooting an object has nothing to transfer the energy to other than the pin and the gun itself... the gun an pin are strong however it will wear on the gun an pin much more quickly than if you were shooting projectiles it just isn't healthy for it lol
Where are the instructions for this thing...please can someone tell me...and dont tell me: "look on KI, you can find it there", because I already tried and i just cant find it. :(
yeah mostlikely... the thing i don't like about the 12 is it isn't as solid as the 8 or the 18 ive looked into it i just never fell in love with it at least not yet... i do have a couple of turret mods if ud like to see em one turret is light construction the other is solid
alright so the dark gray cons is the light construction turret... its makes it easier to change out broken parts and uses ball sockets to hold the mini pins in place tighter than before so less wobble is allowed for the light gray cons is the heavy construction there are 2 extra white cons (snowflakes) that are connected with green rods in the center adding a ton of support for less bend and less chance of breaking... the disadvantage is more parts and hard to replace parts
i stick to building guns that i feel have a purpose at a K'nex War im working on a shotgun right now that in my opinion will have a huge impact on any future wars not saying other gun styles won't still have a place because i feel they do TRs have range reliability versatility and a decent rate of fire the best way to find out how well a gun preforms or has purpose is to test it out at a war... TRs have proven to be effective at ever war ive been to at the last war i brought a piece of junk shotgun that still proved to have an effective roll as well its all a matter of balancing range rof and etc... and honestly one of the biggest keys is reliability the TRs got better because i broke them over an over an over until they became stronger an more reliable
Killerk, you are the leonardo da Vinci of knexing. You invented 2 mechanisms, made the first good gun on this site and made one of the greatest ways of putting peices of plastic together. The TRifle! Everything you make instantly becomes famous! But sadly, Knex is dying. Make something new and big to save it!
I'll definately be looking forward to whatever you're building next. I love to build whatever you create and modify it to my personal preference. Keep up the good work!
good to hear man... it doesn't have the highest capacity or fastest rof but it is a good balance of everything needed to be successful in a outdoor or indoor war and reliable as ever man... i have other guns in the works that id love to complete asap
