TRUELY semi-auto knex gun

This is my new truely semi-automatic knex gun and that means no more having to pull back the firing pin because when you pull the trigger it pulls back the firing pin and shoots it!! Thiis is a brand new knex gun design never used in knex before. the only down side is is that it doesn't shoot to far but the way you put on the rubber bands you can probably get more power out of it then i did (watch the video to see how to put on the rubber bands. Anyways please rate and if you have any questions or concerns just ask and ill probably reply the same day. THANKS and ENJOY!!

[SumRndmGuy]

if you put bands down on the white rods of the trigger, would it snap back by itself instead of having to push it back?

[mrmuffin]

hmm when i look at it again it seems small.....

[mrmuffin]

YAYAYAYAYAYAY IM GONNA BUILD THIS FOR SURE TY TY T YT Y TY TY TY YTY YAYAYAYAYAYYA

[Element Force]

cool i am gonna build it but the range?

[knexinglemon]

whats the range

[Timstoop]

How far does it shoots???? :P

[eigthwarhero]

are black rods the same lenght as grey and orange rods?

[Barris]

yes they are

[killersir751]

could i put a rubber band on the trigger so it is a COMPLETE and TRUE semi automatic?

[wiwaka]

yes it can

[killersir751]

Have you tried it?
Because I'm only building this if Extreme Builder hasn't lied to us all.

[TigerNod]

That won't work, I'm afraid.

[killersir751]

have you tried it?

[TigerNod]

No. But common sense tells me you can't use a rubber band to pull a rubber band; the two forces will counteract eachother. I know, that sounds complicated, but just assume it doesn't work because of basic phisics. ;-)

[SonicX 22]

I tried it, and all it would do it basically make the rubber bands act like it's just one long rubber band

[TigerNod]

In that case, you tried something else than what I meant.

Btw, plz look at the date before posting. That was 2 years ago. ;-)

[knexgundude]

how far does it shoot?

[jedijaxson]

do you have to use the U joint connectors i only have 2

[knex man 1234]

it has to many parts! i am not even going to atempt to biuld it but it looks cool and sturdy and this is the first semi auto iv seen that has a removable mag good design but if u r going to make another verstion please make it have less pice consuption but keep the mag idea

[InstantAsianNoodles]

Why can't you just connect them together? Change the bottom gray connector into a orange one and continue the chain, so you can fit more pieces inside.

[InstantAsianNoodles]

Nice job, that's some pretty cool stuff there. Probably finish by tomorrow :)

[inergy]

Nice gun, but would you mind telling us where to but the rubber bands?

[Blackonyx2234]

The only problem i see is the fact that u have to push the trigger back to fire again.

[disturbedrules2]

how do u put the elastics on the red connectors and how do the red connectors go with the trigger

[ciexs]

none of the pictures are showing up for me..could someone tell me y???? or how to fix this problem thats bugging the crap out of me

[minime12358]

I know this is a little late, but if you are still having the problem: If you are a new member (i.e. one that joined after the pro membership update), then you have to pay for pro membership in order to see all of the pictures. If you know someone who was an older member, there accounts work as pro accounts (such as mine)

[killersir751]

i only made my account a few weeks ago and i can see every pic in k'nex every instructable (weapon instructions) page

[14r31337]

Actually, for some of the instructables, pictures don't show up as well. All you have to do is copy the picture and paste it on Microsoft Word or something similiar.

[humbug]

you only make th best guns

[humbug]

how may black y conecters u got

[miniclipper]

add rubber band behind trigger

[knexlegowizard101]

i hane pics and i just sined up yestrday

[raincoats]

how many gray spacers are you using?

[altrobot]

This is basically a double action gun. Double action is not much use in knex, since it'd be a very hard trigger pull for even a moderately powerful gun, because of the way levers work, and in real life it only needs to blow up the bullet

[knexer87]

i thnk this is closer to double action than semi-auto. a double action revolver cocks and fires in one pull of the trigger. i would build this if i had enough peices

[minime12358]

just curious: what is the range and accuracy of this? Great gun btw

[GUNsicker]

 you can uhhh just uhhhh ummm.... uhhh..... yeaa kay thanks...

just kidding. no offense great gun! its kewl!

[wats-a-username]

i nwas thinkin that in myb head 2

[epson623]

its a good gun but not semi auto ause you have to push the trigger back

[wats-a-username]

he just didnt have enough power on the trigger band to pul it all the way forward so he had to push it just a lil

[aaisthestig]

if u put an elastic band on the trigger so it pushes the trigger back automaticly u could class it as semi auto................. couldent u

[Pizzapie500]

Really? I thought a semi-auto knex gun means that everytime you pull back the trigger it fires without having to pull a firing pin back or something. Also if you held the trigger down and it cept on firing it's a auto. SO yeah I think it's a semi auto..

[geodez]

Yes, semi-automatic is 1 trigger pull 1 round fired, a variant of semi-auto is selective-fire which is 1 trigger pull, several rounds (always a fixed number though) fired in a burst, selective-fire is used in larger compact weapons as it increases your chances of hitting something, while conserving ammuntion.

[Pizzapie500]

Nvm he didnt put a rubber band on the trigger, so yeah it isn't a semi-auto..I think

[minime12358]

look... its practically impossible to not have to do that.. give him a break its a great gun

[Pizzapie500]

I wasn't trying to be mean. Sorry if I was.

[wats-a-username]

like i saqid there just wasnt enough power on the tgrigger band

[_kira_]

no.... it is

[knexnlegomaster]

what are those black things on step 6, picture 5

[geodez]

On the left, ball joints, on the right, ball sockets.

[_kira_]

small green rods

[geodez]

I AM HAPPY SNAKE AND I AM PLEASED BY THIS!

[bighead5454]

i shuld make this just to freak out my mom (i always test new guns on her, with her permission of course =)

[~Aeronous~]

 its not truely semi auto, because you have to push the trigger forward.

[uberrobodude]

Can you put a rubber band on the trigger?

[nclark557]

tip with the triger make it longer and put a small rubber band on it so it goes back on its own

[timhaz1]

just thought:
if you put string between the pullback mech and the pin, you could pull back the pin farther, generating more power. i would try, but i havent got the time.
i realise you probably dont have the gun anymore, but maybe post in instructions??
=D

[psychodog11]

can u replace any of the whites with likwe blues?

[RickyBoyProductions]

Yo I did Mine works Fine

[RickyBoyProductions]

Sheesh that was sorta painful... wonder what the rests gonna be like + SUBSCRIBED Yay =D

[colt duck]

how 2 make it more powerful: #1 make ur firingpin stik out of the barrel #2 smaller bullets #3.... well its to hard 2 say with a keyboard....

thanks for the help im stuk on one!

[pwnagerownager]

i dont have any ball conneecters, any replacements i can use?

[mikstr2]

"i mean, it doesn't shoot far, like, at all" hahaha! 4* anyway, cool concept

[psharpep]

Great! Now make it more powerful and integrate this concept into dual pistols :D BAM BAM BAM!!!

[kray953]

 i only have 4 ball joints so what part should i make on step 6 and then ill make the other parts with single slot connectors

[_kira_]

easy - yes
i have enough pieces - yes
boring to build stock after SRV1 - Hell Yes!

[charlie farthing]

like it but cant you make it easy

[knexhero]

He probably couldn't make it any easier without adding like ten more steps to it

[james4]

bit blurry tho

[64runners]

looks really cool and ur vid is also cool. best thing about this gun is that you dont need to pull the rod back and then shoot, you can just plain keep shooting! :D 5/5!!

[AirSpeedDemon]

Couldn't you just add a rubber band to the triger so it pops back up?That way when you push it in the rubber band pushes it back out.A spring might also work.What do you guys think?

[extreme builder]

of course i know that. if you dont build the second pull back mec. then the trigger goes back into place

[charlie farthing]

extrem bulider my ares i bilt a proper ak 47 with twelve shots and no reloding all you have to do is pull the triger and it shotes one at a time

[knex_mepalm]

Hey, nice job, this is the only TRUE semi-atuo, semi-automatic: When you pull back the trigger the ram rod gets pulled back and shoots, nothing in between...

[charlie farthing]

int there a way you can make it have more power

[Merugop]

Can you make a side-arm-pistol with an unique system?

[Merugop]

...............................................before you made the video did you played Halo for 12 hours or you were really bored

[GTA_FEARON]

love this gun. I built three and had a war with mates we also used your handgun to . your pretty good at this btw any chance of a sniper like the m21???? 5*

[PieMaster777]

at last a real semi auto knex gun not a fake "real" one

[gtrain]

make a sniper

[Max Stryker]

Do you still make guns? If you do ill subscribe :D

[extreme builder]

im on and off. im off right now but i think ill be back on soon

[knex_mepalm]

this is the only semi auto which shoots rods, amazing 5 stars

[Max Stryker]

ok i subscribed anyway :D and can i use something else instead of the u joints? i dont have any. :(

[bte3232]

can you make the stock shorter or use different pieces

[flea208]

very anoying

[Sting Teddy]

cheers! great new design!

[st j]

easy

[_kira_]

Look i said this 1 year ago if u want more power wrap thewhite rods of the trigger to the white circle thing with tape. Then the trigger wont break off if u add more rubber bands. More rubber bands means more power!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :0

[Hephestus]

ummm.....mag push??? the ammo is just gunna fall out!

[lugnut1996]

then build something to push the ammo smart one

[The Jamalam]

no its not

[knexsniper1]

You aren't the type of person who aims for power, you like to make guns that have new ideas to them, that's great! That is a great gun, if it was made stronger, that would be one of the best guns on the site. that is just my opinion, but great work!

[extreme builder]

thank you for understanding but people only care about power and not innovation. every idea needs to be improved upon and if this was, and someone found a way to make it stronger, than it could be an amazing gun.

[lugnut1996]

well man if u dont put the rubber bands on stock so far back use a biger rubber band on the firing pin and single hole connecters at certian areas onthe triger mech. 1.it would be stronger 2.u woudnt have to assist it or at least thats an idea but ill try it and i suggest it but its an idea so if it dont work its ok

[knexsniper1]

yup! great idea, i don't think i could ever have thought of that. just wondering, but what if you put a lot of rubberbands on the trigger to pull it forward so you wont have to all the time?

[lugnut1996]

the gun is a good gun i was going to build it but i ran out of certain parts so i gotta get more knex

[noob builder]

3Burst rifle- IMPOSSIBLE?

[X19OV1]

I'll have to say that this IS NOT a semi-automatic gun. You have to put the trigger back into place manually. However, if you had a rubber band re-postion the trigger without your assitance, it would be a semi-auto. The only problem would be that it would increase the difficulty of pulling back the trigger to fire.

[geodez]

i did that and it worked fine, if you can't pull that much weight then you need some finger excersise.

[sythe511]

can i use something other th joint pieces for the mechenizm?

[extreme builder]

u can use gray single slot connectors

[bobjoebillyjoebob]

can you make the mechanizm alone? it wont let me zoom in the pictures!~

[DrWeird117]

Uh, can I sub the y's for anything?

[PieMaster777]

yes, i used 2 grey 1 slot connectors taped together

[knexcthulu]

i dont have enough pieces for the trigger mechanism what should i do ? 1.take some off the body? or 2.substitute bits for the trigger ? pleaze reply im getting bored?

[bobjoebillyjoebob]

find a simpler way to make the trigger system, but make it work the same

[chicken3642832]

i made my first full auto and its where you just hold down the trigger no chain links

[extreme builder]

what does it fire?

[noobererer]

about a month ago i was thinking "what if some1 could make a gun that cocks it when you pull the trigger then pull it again to fire". i didn't have a clue how to do it though. You are absolutely BRILLIANT. 5*!!

[powwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee]

the rubber bands coming from the firing pin to the stock may be reducing the power.

[054629]

cool gun

[sdds]

my birthday is today

[monkey09]

to make it powerful use string to pull back the barrel

[_kira_]

i test (out of 100 shots)-(i am very patient) and this gun is better then ednator semi auto :) also this is a rifle very better looking

[extreme builder]

cool thanks

[imthatguy1125]

whats the range

[_kira_]

it was no problem to me however (i am not being mean) after a certain amount of presure from the bands, the white rods break off the triger. if u were to make a mod of a stronger trigger, u could put more bands on it adding more power :)))))

[_kira_]

gotta add one more thing to previous comment, they break wen u press them .

[facebook_addict]

yea thank god

[facebook_addict]

bbbbbbb cool but lil ones let me see them

[[e-mail]]

(removed by author or community request)

[extreme builder]

nope just one

[ILIKEPIE333]

this is extremely innovative! no power though, so I give it 4.5/5! This thing is cool, but it struggles to go past a yard. I have a question: How did you come up with the idea and firing system for this gun?

[extreme builder]

thanks and idk i was just messing around with it and just randomly came up with this

[ILIKEPIE333]

thats how most ideas come to be

[extreme builder]

who just rates down my guns its not cool!

[Ltcheesecracker]

THANK YOU GOD!!!!! i wuz starting to think there wuznt any real semi auto knex guns on the site!!!!! but there is one!!! this is it!!! u rule my man!!!!!!! thank your spirits, your loards ur only loard ur water god, ur fire god, ur air god, ur earth god, ur elemental god, ur world spirit, ur other stuff gods, OH!!! andthe most important one of all! THE OH MIGHTY KNEX GOD!!!!! ALL BOW BEFORE UR COMPUTER WHEN YOU READ THIS!!! BOW NOW!!!!!! thank you and sorry for such a long comment.... thanks for the awsome gun 2!

[knexking123]

i bowed

[extreme builder]

hahaha thanks it doesn't shoot far though im making a new one

[the rail man]

at the moment I'm making something using a wheel with a bunch of rubber bands on it to make the wheel spin and pull back the firing pin il hopefully post pics soon

[danblath]

i woud say if you put more elastic bands on the trigger it would auto-cock back so you only have to use 1 finger instead of 2

[J Moneyman]

HOLY COW!!! that used to be my old picture!

[Lowney]

Absolutely brilliant! 5* and favourite!

[ben-with-his-knex]

it looks nice but it shoots not far! but good way to make a gun!

[CraftySNAK3]

you sound like mcluvin

[extreme builder]

thanks?

[killer.]

i think i could make a BB shooter mechanism for it (and a magazin that holds like 20-100 BB's) but ill first try to build this gun then we'll see

[Knexwizard]

you did not tell us where to put the rubberbands.

[226024]

its on the vid on the first page

[TigerNod]

Awesome. 5 stars and fav. You are putting a lot of work in improving knex auto weapons. Perhaps I can use this on something else.

[TigerNod]

Good idea to combine the decapicitated connectors with the tan connectors

[extreme builder]

im knemovies on youtube. check me out

[beameron]

Yes i allready post that they needed 2 put rubberband sOVEr the trigger a LONG time ago xD

[shams]

if any one put a rubber band(for reloading) on the trigger will it work?

[extreme builder]

there is two pull back mechanisms so if you take of the one behind the firing pin, the red 1 4th circle piece and the rubber bands attached to the back of the gun and the firing pin and then put rubberbands on the trigger then yes it will reload

[agent47.]

can i make this without the black Y connectors.

[ILIKEPIE333]

why didnt you do that in the first place?

[extreme builder]

i thought that it increased the power

[ILIKEPIE333]

did it?

[Moeses]

Hey, It looks Great !! I would give it a 4 1/2 out of a 5. I think that its awesome that its semi-auto... I think I'm on to a gun that could be completely auto !!! its in the works and its looking good so far ! Great gun !!!

[maxxxem]

hey should i post an instructable for this?
http://www.instructables.com/id/Knex_Tavor_TAR_21/

[ILIKEPIE333]

that looks awesome, is it reliable?

[maxxxem]

it functions

[ILIKEPIE333]

I am fast

[Miles Tails Prower]

It's great! But the power... Still 4.5 stars!

[sliceofpain]

you need to make instructable for trigger alone

[beameron]

just put some rubbeer band on the trigger !!

[Miles Tails Prower]

There are two problems to be solved with this gun. 1. The power. 2. Pushing the trigger back is a little bit annoying I think.

[extreme builder]

sry

[Miles Tails Prower]

No offence, this is great!!!

[Knexwizard]

do you have to breack your pieces or can you just stick it through the holes?

[DrWeird117]

At least add rubber band placement!

[shev22]

If you have any questions you can just po......poost...it.. HA that was funny!

[nball199]

can we do this without the little black U connectors?

[DrWeird117]

not semi-auto...

[I_am_Canadian]

Yes, its semi-auto.

[DrWeird117]

Sorry, but it is just a different method of cocking. Semi-auto is HARD though.

[I_am_Canadian]

No, This is semi auto. Shot per pull, semi auto.

[DrWeird117]

You have to push the trigger back up.

[I_am_Canadian]

Not if you put elastics on it. Trust me. I made it.

[DrWeird117]

Oh. Okay, I'll build it.

[I_am_Canadian]

Im not saying it was a great gun... :-0

[DrWeird117]

I know. Dutchj's is pretty cool, check it out.

[I_am_Canadian]

Its ok, but its just any other gun. Its just that the ram is disguised as a trigger.

[DrWeird117]

Yeah, I guess...

[Knetix]

r u kidding? this is completely semi auto and a great design too. u should try using the mechanism on a semi auto rbg and use the wheel to pull back the pin-im workin on 1-its workin well so far.

[kibbler]

I modded it and got eighty-three feet, six inches. ;)

[oodalumps]

I imagine you put a stick of dynamite in it and measured how far the debris went?

[bakenbitz]

Hahhahahahhahahahha.

[TorBomb]

do u have any cheaper models of the same type of design

[PineapplebobTheGreat]

KRYLOV FA-37 AR COMING SOON

This is a nice assault rifle that I have made. I am not completely finished, but will be posting pretty soon.

FEATURES:
*It has an adjustable stock.
*It has an adjustable handle (it thickens and shrinks for different age use)
*It has a slide-in magazine. The magazine slides into place. You don't have to snap it on any rod or anything like that. It just slides in.
*It is semi-auto. (This is my own original semi-auto design. I did not copy extreme builder.) But because it is semi-auto, it only shoots a couple feet.
*It has a scope.
*It has a comfortable grip.
*AND MORE

[silentassasin21]

[PineapplebobTheGreat]

Actually, I stayed up late last night, sadly took apart my scar 11.01, and then finished making the gun. It's nice and sturdy. However, my adjustable stock would keep breaking and it got in the way of the trigger, so the stock is no longer adjustable. The grip is REALLY comfortable. Everything else is on there. However I am changing my gun from the semi-auto method to a cock and re-cock method, for the semi auto only launched the bullet enough for it to get stuck in the rest of the gun.

[extreme builder]

can't wait!!

[thebboy]

cool

[DrWeird117]

WTF? how did you get the black lil rods on the female joint connectors?

[mikezaq123]

well those little ones are black or green second if u press the 2 felales together and press the green to it it would be very easy {push the green in really hard}

[DrWeird117]

ok, 'preciate it. ☺

[dinky]

cool 5 stars

[The Jamalam]

works good, looks bad, fires even worse. it is good, but not very good. this mech has been done before as i saw on a website somewhere, but i will rate 3 stars.

[wingchangwow]

i don't understand how the ammo doesn't fall out

[zimster42]

screw this, i wanted a good firing range...i can't go more than 3 foot without breaking either the gun (yes, i followed the instructions perfectly) or the bands...i have abandoned this gun in favor of a more powerful, although single-shot, rifle that has a stronger structure if you can find a way to improve the range, i may reconsider this gun...i really want a semi-auto, but not at a price of reduced range

[JonnysGuns08]

how do the blue "bullets" stay in the mag??

[knexcthulu]

do u need to break the gray things on the yellow rod in picture six?

[ROBOT CHICKEN]

you dont need to but it works better with them decapitated, but i recommed only 3 as they lod it in place well and other knex guns use only 3 chopped greys

[DrWeird117]

i don't think so...

[zimster42]

yes, you do, but you can also simply replace them with 3 tan lock connectors

[zimster42]

i don't fully understand how to put the rubber bands on, my firing pin hardly moves...and doesnt it make more sense to have the magazine above the barrel instead of below it?

[zimster42]

i can hardly interpret picture 2, a little more clarity would be nice

[zimster42]

this should have been split onto two pages, the thumbnails run clear off the screen

[ROBOT CHICKEN]

p.s use a rubber band to pull the trigger back in place :)

[ROBOT CHICKEN]

you are one smart guy, you have created what many people have attempted since knex guns began. i think that many people should build this and take knex guns to a whole new level, and im going to try and make this system work in a g36c. well done mate.

[zyilo]

i love the gun but i dont have enough pieces...:'(

[extreme builder]

thanks please rate my guns i will appreciate it =]

[zyilo]

i will but im not sure how to rate stuff o.O

[extreme builder]

just go to the right side of the page until u hit the rating thing it will be stars and just give it however many stars u think its out of 5

[zyilo]

meh..thanks ill give you a 5/5 :D because of the trigger mechanism and how the no cocking required

[chasm]

I like this gun. It works, and no pesky reloading or cocking is required.

[I_am_Canadian]

Reloading, yes, cocking, no.

[SNIPERDUDE]

Another few notes: Really like the true trigger design you have there, especially the part on how it reloads... But I think you should add a rubber band on the inside so the the trigger resets itself.

[SNIPERDUDE]

That would mean you would need to make the trigger unit and the cocking unit separate.

[SNIPERDUDE]

IF YOU WANT TO ADD MORE POWER:

Try moding the design to use Perfect Duck's
frictionless spring recoil design so the firing rod
doesn't have to move much and still provide power.

The design can be seen here:
http://www.instructables.com/id/Red-Impact---Perfect-Duck_s-K_nex-gun./

[knexcthulu]

do u have to have this cause im running low on bits?

[Knextructables]

if you mod it then no, you don't. but it will be quite hard to mod it to look cool and fit.

[Oompa-Loompa]

If you put a small rubber band pulling the trigger forward you won't have to push the trigger back up after firing.

[X3R0X77]

cool 4.5

[knexmaster60]

this is a prety cool gun i made it and it doesent shoot far put is jenus how the triger and gears work to make it semi auto. knexmaster60 TM

[killa696]

OMG, i just finished building this gun and the bullet either falls out or stays in the magazine...

[knexsuperbuilderfreak]

yay i won a knex war with this and 100 blue rods and one knex war bomb

[j-chode!]

just camp behind a big object and snipe them. ill post my new sniper in a bit. my camera died.

[extreme builder]

cool

[killa696]

After about 30 min of frustration, i finally finished and figured out how to fire + load it. good, but u or sum1 else should post a mod on how to make the trigger automatically reset, even if it only takes like half a second. that time can be crucial in a Knex war. Nice Gun!

[extreme builder]

just put more rubber bands on it

[oodalumps]

I wonder what would happen if I posted my semi-auto pistol again. People would probably think it's new and innovative, even when it's one of the oldest Knex guns on this site.

[Mad Cat]

You mean exactly the same as your old one? I don't know, it's pretty famous already.

[killa696]

lol True

Go for it!

[extreme builder]

i don't get how it works

[Mad Cat]

Really, it's as simple as it gets. the trigger is directly connected to the firing pin.

[kylem35]

another way you can keep the stock from bending upward is by attaching the stock to the handle

[Shadow64]

I thought u only need to pull the trigger to make a semi auto shoot but with this this one u have re-postion the trigger afterwards so that dosent make it a semi auto does it?

[extreme builder]

yes it does it takes like .02 seconds just to push it back

[dsman195276]

but that still means you can not keep your finger on the trigger at all times, so this is not really a true semi-auto though people wont care.

[extreme builder]

ok yes because if u don't want to pull it back just put more rubber bands on it so it will pull it back

[Shadow64]

.02 seconds to push back!? woah quick reflexes!! lol

[extreme builder]

u know what i mean lol

[chasm]

I was just curious, What does this thing shoot?

[extreme builder]

blue rods

[mettaurlover]

you're crazy. in a cool way.

[extreme builder]

thanks i guess lol but why

[The Jamalam]

This is actually fully auto: Semi auto is where you have to cock the gun, but it reloads automatically, in order to shoot it. Full auto is where the gun is automatically cocked and loaded after the trigger is pulled. Single shot is where you have to reload and cock before each shot.

[Sypran]

Full auto = as long as you have bullets, and hold down the trigger it will fire
Semi auto = every time you pull the trigger it fires untill out of bullets (exeption things with real hammers like revolvers this is called "Double action")
Bolt action = pull a bolt back, then may have magazine that auto loads or be a 1 shot. (most knex guns are this)
Pump+leaver = same as bolt but diffrent motions

"Mind auto" = experimental (at the momemt) that you have a gun and when you point and think to fire, it fires (like how you controll your arms), - this system has been failing though, untill they make a smart gun, because it has caused "reflex shots" on allies and thats never good i would think.

[extreme builder]

thanks i was trying to explain that to him

[The Jamalam]

look it up on wikipedia

[Sypran]

ok heres quotes from wiki it self - An automatic firearm is a firearm that automatically extracts and ejects the fired cartridge case, and loads a new case, usually through the energy of the fired round. The term can be used to refer to semi-automatic firearms, which fire one shot per pull of the trigger, or fully automatic firearms, which will continue to load and fire ammunition as long as the trigger (or other activating device) is pressed or until the ammunition is exhausted. "Automatic pistol" or "automatic shotgun" generally refers to a semi-automatic design, while "automatic rifle" more often means a fully automatic or selective fire designA semi-automatic firearm, a firearm which automatically reloads, but will only fire one round per trigger pull semi auto -

[The Jamalam]

A semi-automatic, or self-loading firearm is a gun that requires only a trigger pull for each round that is fired, unlike a single-action revolver, a pump-action firearm, a bolt-action firearm, or a lever-action firearm, which require the shooter to manually chamber each successive round. For example, to fire ten rounds in a semi-automatic firearm, the trigger would need to be pulled ten times (once for each round fired), in contrast to a fully automatic firearm, which can continue to fire as long as the trigger is held or until it runs out of ammunition

[The Jamalam]

That's also from wiki, so basically, both terms can be accepted

[dsman195276]

no, in knex semi-auto is were 1 trigger pull= 1 shot.<br/><br/>

[The Jamalam]

yes but if it's in the real world, then why not knex?

[dsman195276]

that is what it is in the real world. just in the real world they add in extra stuff(like shell ejecting and what not that knex does not have).

[The Jamalam]

look at my wiki quote above, from fully automatic firearm!

[apples!!!!!]

full auto- you hold trigger, it shoots for as long as you hold it. semi auto- it shoots one shot every time you pull the trigger, but nothing happens if you hold it.

[extreme builder]

no people just say semi auto knex guns when it reloads itself but really semi auto means for everytime u pull the trigger it shoots once and full suto is when when u pull the trigger once it keeps on shooting shot after another. people that have been saying their guns are semi auto when all it does it reload have been lying

[The Jamalam]

just look it up on wikipedia or something, It's just what I've learned, I may be wrong.

[23GUITAR05]

So the mag is really a hopper?

[mark1832]

I think you need to redo this step in some parts, pics 16 and 22 clash. one shows the black snowflake at the bottom has the two white poles but the other shows something else. Also where it shows you the position of the rubber band, its a bit unclear

[Jasp3r]

It sounds a bit stupid, but can someone explain me how the magazine works?

[xanxor]

[ojochris]

Cna you post pics or an instructable plz?

[xanxor]

I guess...

[extreme builder]

wow good job i really like it. its so weird to see people making my gun idk why but its cool

[apples!!!!!]

you pet that thing like my grandma pets her cat

[whytej01]

has any one made a ballista

THAT WORK FOR YOU?

[dsman195276]

lol, the comment got cut off.

[ojochris]

Huh?

[dsman195276]

the one comment were you put *cough* a lot got cut off.

[I_am_Canadian]

I made it. Very clever design.

[whytej01]

plz message me if you know

[Wareagle]

WOW! this gun is awesome!!!!!!!! +1

[I_am_Canadian]

oh and how do the blues fed into the mag. to you just make a pusher inner?

[I_am_Canadian]

whats a tan rod connector.

[xanxor]

there you go homeys, I'll send you pics if you want them.

[xanxor]

I'll post a vid and send you pics to add later today. may 7

[extreme builder]

ok

[xanxor]

Would anybody like me to post my mods?

[extreme builder]

yes please

[xanxor]

Mine doesn't use the spinny cog in the middle just the red connecter which I tied with string instead then calibrated it to have the biggest pull back and BAM huge increase in power only need rubber-bands on the firing pin too nothing on anything but thy firing pin.

[xanxor]

to make it auto just put a motor on it wit a little bit that pulls the trigger back just enough to to shoot and a rubber band on the trigger so it springs back into place. Nice gun. I like it.

[abalone4]

thats sweet. but what would happen if u used white rounds and slid them all the way back but then u wuld have to find a new clip

[FrozenFire 99]

hey man the idea is pretty cool you really gotta work that out. you dont need to pull back the firing pin to fire and it has a mag so that makes it auto instead of semi-auto

[ash1494]

no, full auuto is when u just pull bacl the tirgger once and hold it for bullets to shoot out

[emoman]

most of them use motors P.S. +1 great gun

[s0lekill3r]

No it's semi-auto. Auto means that bullets are automatically and shot one after the other when the trigger is pressed. This gun shoots one bullet every time you pull the trigger. BTW: Nice mechanism extreme builder.

[FrozenFire 99]

when the bullets are shot directly after the other when the trigger is pulled it's full-auto. when you have to pull back the trigger for every shot, but you dont need pull back a firing pin it's auto.

[s0lekill3r]

A semi-automatic is a gun that requires only a trigger pull for each round that is fired, unlike a single-action revolver, a pump-action firearm, a bolt-action firearm, or a lever-action firearm, which require the shooter to manually chamber each successive round. An automatic firearm will continue to load and fire ammunition as long as the trigger (or other activating device) is pressed or until the ammunition is exhausted.

[FrozenFire 99]

man this is getting really confusing. assuming everything you said is true, then about 99% of all "semi-auto" knex guns around here are not actually semi-auto but bolt-action?

[s0lekill3r]

Yes. Many guns claim to be semi-auto even if they are not. Just because a gun auto loads a round doesn't mean it's semi-auto, the gun has to automatically load the round and shoot it with each trigger pull without the user needing to recock the gun every shot. (I know, it's very confusing)

[FrozenFire 99]

ok thanks, but then what is the difference between auto and full-auto?

[s0lekill3r]

As much as I know, I think it's the same. I'm guessing people use those two different terms to describe the same thing. Either full-auto or auto can be used to describe a fully automatic firearm.

[FrozenFire 99]

+1 for you

[extreme builder]

thanks

[chombo]

dude this system is awesome, the only thing: mine dont fire rods if i put some in :(

[zap89]

you sound like killerk

[extreme builder]

is that a good thing?

[StyleCore]

No

[zap89]

lol yeah

[knexguru]

Neat design

[extreme builder]

thanks

[TJS]

use knex instead of ruberbands between the ram and trigger

[extreme builder]

does that help?

[Knex_Gun_Builder]

post the KRYLOV FA-37 AR

[Gadget Master]

this isn't semi its double action. semi is when all you do is pull the trigger and it fires. when your dealing with real guns and the trigger gets pushed back into place to reset the pin it is called double-action. which is just as good as semi but not semi. okay.

[hellpilot]

Your mag dont work, it jams. Work faster on a way to make the gun WORK and not FAIL

[hellpilot]

Let me get this straight. Semi-automatic you have to keep pulling the trigger to shoot. Burst is where it fires 2 or 3 or 4 shots at the same time. Automatic is where you hold down the trigger and bullets come out without pulling the trigger again. in this case Semi-automatic knex gun is call semi-automatic because you have to pull the trigger again and again and again. :)

[extreme builder]

yes exactly

[kingghaffari]

LOL look at my gun (my name). Combatknex says that the gun stinks and that he hates extremebuilder because he pisses him off. Yet he +1ed this gun.....

[combatknex]

ok your confused ALOT i dont mind xtreme builder just he always says i really like you tell me what you think of mine (LINK) and its gets anoying and i never said i hate extreme builder because he pisses me off you made that up i may have +1edthe gun because i dont sabotage peoples guns just because i dont like them but i LIKE your gun i was saying extreme builders gun stink on your comment place GET IT?????????

[kingghaffari]

errrrrrrrrr

[combatknex]

do you meen errrrr as in ummmmmmm or errrrrr as in growl?? because i dont hate you or extreme builder ok you and you extreme builder and i like both of your guns

[kingghaffari]

i meant it as ummmmm

[combatknex]

ok so u hate me or not??

[kingghaffari]

course not. y would i hate you? in fact, i love your avatar. XD it is prettey funny.....

[extreme builder]

thanks its just hard because everyone is giving me crap for it not shooting far but i thought they would thank me because of the new shooting design but what ever

[combatknex]

dude both of ur guns rock a look awsome this one the most and i did +1 both of ur guns btw how far does ur fully automatic airsoft knex gun shoot? because i might build it.

[extreme builder]

thank you i appreciate it im not going to lie to u it shoots 10 feet but its still really cool so go right ahead and maybe you'll find a way to mod it!!

[combatknex]

i +1ed this gun no i didnt i didnt even make it go down

[extreme builder]

what?

[extreme builder]

yea i don't get that so are u working on any new guns?

[kingghaffari]

im not realy workin on any. i put a grenade launcher on my srv1, but that was before i built this. put the magazine at the top instead of bottom.

[extreme builder]

i no but than it looks bad

[kingghaffari]

To be honest, i know its a prettey crappy gun.(just cuz it doesnt shoot far. It needs a better trigger. (mine keeps breaking) And a totaly new gun. i bet any amount of money that this gun is gonna boom all over the internet soon. JUST HURRY UP AND MOD IT PEOPLE! lol

[I_am_Canadian]

I really like the way you are thinking of new mechanisms and ideas, we really need more people like you! you just need them to perform better, because (no offence ) its really quite useless as it is.

[extreme builder]

yup i no but still i posted it so people could look at it and mod it but thanks

[struckbyanarrow]

one idea put a rubber band stretching towards the end of the gun to the trigger it will spring forward everytime you shoot

[the dawg]

mechanism is simlar to the one on the edanaters(bad spelling) gun on youtube.

[extreme builder]

oh ahaha thats because he said that he was going to use my gun to make one read the youtube comment knemovies.com (thats me!!) but i don't like how he said its 100% his design and mechanism when clearly its not

[the dawg]

ahh ok i was just wondering .

[extreme builder]

really ill have to check that out thanks

[thekingisntme]

btw your parts list says 2 red connectors and i just looked at the first picture and i see 5 so it may be off a ways.

[extreme builder]

tthanks ill change but i think other than that its right

[jabbathegut1]

LOL - it doesnt shoot far....at all...

[kingghaffari]

Srry bro. But no. Its a good idea though, just need people to mod it.

[extreme builder]

i told u

[JOE1903]

The handle and stock look very *ahem* similar too killerk's Sr-V1

[extreme builder]

i no but i changed it alittle

[the dawg]

i dont really care if its 2feet but how far does it shoot?

[extreme builder]

i got 10 feet

[the dawg]

nt to bad what will your new design get up to do you think.

[extreme builder]

um im hoping 30 but probably 20-25 but we'll see im almost done with the mechanism to pull it pack and its looking good it uses gears!!

[the dawg]

cool. can you make a P90 body around it please : )(puppy eyes) ?

[extreme builder]

idk ill do my best

[the dawg]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH IF U CAN. and your a good knex builder by the way.

[extreme builder]

thank u bro

[the dawg]

well i look forward to seeing this new gun.

[maxxxem]

Its almost finished. in the next day or 2 it will have 2 firing functions, semiauto and normal.

[huseyin0101]

simply amazing, it works like a charm, good work, but a slight problem, i use a pusher for the mag but the blue rod only comes half way out of the barrel, any solutions? +1

[huseyin0101]

yeh, but when i dont use the mag, the rod fires out perfectly.... but i took it apart, im waiting for someone to post a smalled more compact version, if someone is smart enough to post one...... lol

[Mepain]

Most likely because it doesn't have enough power.

[extreme builder]

thats another problem im trying to work out i don't know why it does that if u fix it please tell

[Perfect Duck]

K'nex rods are widest on the ends, so my guess is that 'end collision' or 'tip jamming' is what's causing that drastic loss of power. That very problem is the reason my Red Impact lifts the rods out of the way so the one being fired is a clean shot. You can find a big long conversation about it if you dig down into its comments deep enough. Anyways, my suggestion is to tune the strengh of the mag pusher so that it does not press the rods up too tightly (and thus not force the ends of K'nex rods to lock into each other). Should fire more cleanly.

[extreme builder]

yup i no exactly what ur talking about

[Kerwination]

bro add a rubber band on the trigger so the trigger is pulled back into place... duh i did it and it worked! nice gun!!

[extreme builder]

yup

[stronger_one]

(removed by author or community request)

[extreme builder]

thanks and idk how i think of it lol but im already working on a bigger and better knex gun like this one but will shoot ALOT FARTHER i can't wait to finish it!!

[the dawg]

post

[maxxxem]

Im working on 1 too this is from 4 days ago

[the dawg]

cool

[maxxxem]

crap i forgot the picture

[extreme builder]

im working on it as we speak

[the dawg]

dont you mean type? : ) lol please do u think you can use this mechanism and make a P90 body around it because after playing cod4 solidly i wanted to make a semi auto sort of powerful p90 out of knex.

[extreme builder]

idk ill try but i don't work on the body i make the insides first and then work around that so i never no what my gun is going to look like until its done

[the dawg]

cool ill remeber that when i try and make my guns.

[knexpert#10829476]

Is that a black rod?

[DonSanderino]

I like your gun men I made it and I modded it and its very powerful now its shoots like 35 feet

no way POST

Interesting...I wonder if we could do something like this where you use gears...we might be able to get a little more power out of it but i'm not sure how much. Like if you combine your two guns. I might try something like this after my sniper. Good work!

[extreme builder]

im working on something with gears

[Sypran]

woah... 2 very difrent working (and great lookin by the way ;) ) guns in a row! i do see what perfect duck was saying its on the border of semi to leaver action, but i think its more on the border with double action and semi auto (if not double action) cause a double action gun pulls back a hammer (and this gun dose look like it has a hammer) and then fires the gun, wile semi the pin goes back through the expanding gas this gun is very very interesting, it may be posable to make the trigger go back to normal on its own (like any form of recoil) also to add on to another perfect duck comment (he realy knows his stuff i gota say!) there is no "perfect mag" (meaning the bullets wont "jump" no if not very little friction never jams, and iff you look at the simple mags the little brownish conector piece is not big enough to have a bullet sit on it and go though the barrel with out going upwards a very small amount of space. im my last set of words (and qoute me anyone if you like) "This gun brings us 2 steps foward, but the mags take us 1 step back..."

Y'know, in the aviation industry, they'd call complete models such as this a "technology bed". Though not mass-produced, they do make headway into uncharted possibilities, and are among the most interesting. As such, this K'nex gun is demonstrating a nice method of turning the tedious task of pulling back a firing pin into something much simpler. Calling it a true semi-automatic is a bit iffy, since it is leaning dangerously close to being a Lever-Action type weapon. However, since all of the action is centered solely on the trigger and there are no other moving levers to move, I'll go ahead and call it semi-automatic.

I love how you're completely unafraid to use rubber bands wherever necessary. You've got them balanced just right to make the operation of this gun simple and effective. So, with a 10/10 for operation, its actual performance leaves much to be desired. Only 6-7 round capacity and weak power ... that's fine, though. The fact it works is good enough for a technology bed after all.

It's hard to say how much potential this has, as far as the kinds of improvements on it that you're hoping for. There's only so far of distance that the lever can actually pull the firing pin, so getting it to accelerate to competitive speeds will be difficult. Giving it another hopper with a larger ammo capacity would be simple enough, though.

In closing, I found it very interesting and hope to see more guns that are as simple to operate as this one.

to be fair it is hard to make semi auto and full auto out of knex but your right it is a technology foundation for other knex semi auto guns.

[extreme builder]

thank you i appreciate it

[jakesllama]

happy easter knex experts!

[extreme builder]

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!

[kingghaffari]

happy easter bro.

[extreme builder]

thanks

[acker123]

well done probably the first real semi auto no offense to oodalumps but the trigger on his semi auto is unrealistic

[oodalumps]

I think maybe 5 other people have made a semi-auto mechanism. Me and Mepain have each made two or more. Also my semi-auto pistol, which was the 6th Knex gun ever posted, has a realistic trigger (and my minimized version of it is even better). Anyways back on topic. I like what you've been doing, extreme builder. You have the same mindset I had when I started out.

[extreme builder]

i no but this is a new way that doesn't need a motor or a crank just a trigger i like what u have done with ur guns to what im trying to do is make new ways to make knex guns and improve off of that rather than just making powerful guns (even though almost everyone only cares about power these days)

[Whaleman]

I made one and posted a comment with the idea of using an RBG to shoot rods.

[Mepain]

That is what we call a pseudo-semi-automatic.

[extreme builder]

wtf is a pseudo

[dsman195276]

^{pseudo means fake}

[Mepain]

Hey!

[Whaleman]

Hey!

[ironman69]

O_O A 9 rateing withonly 180 vews this gun is very good ( click on my name to see my new Dillon Minigun)

[PineapplebobTheGreat]

Dude, FINALLY! I have so been waiting for a semi auto gun. Can't wait to build. Also, Iron man is making a semi auto lancer, which will be coming soon. +1!!! I give it three thumbs up... oh wait, I only have two...

[extreme builder]

THANKS

[thebboy]

sorry to burst your bubble, but that mag isn't new, it's on the knex plasma rifle you just replace the spacers with Y connectors. you should put it in your instructable that it's not new. ya, but still +1

[extreme builder]

oh that is still so different you really can't even tell

[thebboy]

ya

[thebboy]

cool, a real semi auto! will definetly make. +1

[ironman69]

good jod with the new semi-auto mech

[ironman69]

looks awesome

[kingghaffari]

wow +3 already! HOW COME NO ONE RATES MY GUN? lol

[extreme builder]

i no its crazy

[kingghaffari]

ok i made it, and its great. Could use some better pics, but other than that, im gonna start modding it for power. thenx extreme builder. +1

[extreme builder]

you made it already nice and good luck with the power i really hope you can do it

[kingghaffari]

yep but i had to break me sr-v2(yes 2) and my killer k pistol w/ magazine (just click on my name) it was worth it though

[maxxxem]

I would build it but I don't got the pieces to do so. one thing , wouldn't the rubberbands on the top of the stock( the part that makes the trigger easer), just cancel the power of the other rubberbands on the ram? +1.5

[extreme builder]

no i don't think so because than you can add more rubber bands to the firing pin side and take it off and find out

[the_burrito_master]

c-o-o-l nice job thats the first semi auto built in to a rifle.
