This is the instructable for my grenade/ rocket projectile launcher. The gun shoots my own kind of big projectile (a rocket), but also shoots a knex fragmentation grenade by http://www.instructables.com/id/Project-X4-XPLODER-Mini-Knex-Hand-Grenade/

Some pros of this launcher are:
-very strong
-can shoot many different projectiles, of different sizes
-accurate(for a grenade launcher)
-range of 25+ feet (depending on what RBs you use)
-the rocket has lots of stopping power
-looks cool

Cons
-long reload time (about a minute)
-no magazine (single fire)
-the top moving panel is annoying
-fairly heavy

The launcher uses a lot of rubber bands (about 10, but depending on the rubber bands, you could have less). The instructions for the rocket is also included.

I love it personally. I made it and found that the rocket actually flies better if you remove the top and the band that holds the top down but you lose the great noise when you fire. 10/10
