Build This Gun It Is Epic.

well I never really intended on posting this but after so many people said they liked it I decided why not?

so here it is in all its glory the FireStorm Shot Gun

some stats:
ammo - grey rod, red rod, 2 yellow rods, 3 blue rods, 5 white rods, oodammo, (with small mod)
Action - slide
trigger - true (duh)
 
the gun I am posting differs slightly from the one in the picture below, but all I did was get rid of the hinges so people without them can build it



Now lets start building!

this is the most important part of the gun, make sure that when you are building it you put the bullet locks on properly, especially the front one if you intend on firing multiple rounds

i dont have that plate

[Andrew5909]

this is actually pretty darn good, the stock could be better, so i'll work on that, maybe post pictures when it is done...

[blacktails]

So, the handle just hangs in there fairly loosly?

thats.... interesting.... not in a bad way, thats just different....

[MegaMetal8]

Ive built it, its actually very sturdy

[Fred the Penguin]

why thank you kind sir.

[danbaha]

awesome!

[turtlekidlol]

hey man, this is by far the BEST gun i have ever, and will ever build. The only problem is: it seems like the multi-ammmo attachment doesnt work. It only makes the ammo shoot shorter, and with multiple ammo, it might only shoot out 1. i really want multi ammo but it wont work. I instead until the problem is resolved, use it as a single shot rifle. its great! i reccomend making the same gun mechanism, but making it a rifle! hope you can help :)

[MegaMetal8]

ive made it b4

IS THE ORANGE CUT IN HALF ESSENTIAL? if not what do i swap it for

[Fred the Penguin]

they are not essential, you can replace them with anything that doesn't get in the mechs way, however I would recomend them as they are a big help in clipping the barrel into place

[MegaMetal8]

ill use blue clips and i dont have enough blue spacers and oranges so for some of them i will use yellow connectors without blue spacers instead of orange cons and blue spacers

[MegaMetal8]

are the cut parts essential?

[spricer988]

do we have to make the oodammo barrel.

[Fred the Penguin]

what do you think?

 Here's mine

 I'm having problems with mine, when I load more than one shot, only the first one leaves the barrel.  The bullet locks gets the other ones stuck.  How do I fix this ?

[Fred the Penguin]

Also shorten the upper pin guide to 2 connectors instead of 3
(don't tell anyone it's a secret)

[Fred the Penguin]

More power, I use 5 62's on mine, also use will wear down the bullet lock making it easier to fire multiple rods, failing that just remove the bullet lock.

[Seleziona]

You truly did it, Logic Boy.
I finally got around to making this, and it IS epic.
Best shotgun I've ever made! 5.5*

[Fred the Penguin]

thanks, it is pretty awsome huh?

[Seleziona]

Yes, it is!!!

[mickygrules]

This is, by far, the greatest gun I've ever made. It's powerful, accurate, and a damn good design. I dunno if it's the same for everyone else, by mine is just amazing! I've had mine built for about 4 months.
Keep up the good work Logic Boy :)

[Fred the Penguin]

thanks! I wanted this gun to be more powerful, more durable and better looking than any other knex shotgun out there.

[rec0n]

what is the range?

[Fred the Penguin]

cool bas3 said he got 85 feet with it.

[cool bas3]

[The Jamalam]

You seem to have a fair amount of metallic pieces, could you have a crack at metal...ising any of my guns if you have time?

[cool bas3]

and if you post your new gun.

[IKE753Z]

When I got my best set It was all mettalic peices I was super excited.
(thanks for the Idea to build it mettalic it looks so awsome)

[cool bas3]

Metallic is just so awesome! I got a lot of Metallic pieces!

[Fred the Penguin]

Epic!

[IKE753Z]

Thanks for not using any cut peices on this one because I hate finding ways around that! 

[cool bas3]
