THE IDEA FOR THIS GUN WAS INSPIRED BY THE AWESOME OBLIVITUS

Step 1Warning

This gun is not perfect and has its flaws. Do not build this gun if you don't know knex very well.

Build this gun only if you are a true knexer, and you know you are. If you don't then this gun is not for you.

This is not a beginner or even intermediate gun. If you want an easy, but powerful, knex gun, take a look at the TBAP or TBOS instructable. I highly recommend both guns.

Apr 8, 2011. 8:21 PMBennyhinn says:

I made it - its not 'advanced' and i broke it after like 3 days

KnexFreek (author) says:

advanced compared to all ramrod-mag guns which are too easy to make and all block trigger guns which total 80% of the guns on here. The other 19% are slingshot guns.

And the remaining 1% are truely innovative like this one.
Its slingshot- mag fed- and pump action.....

Impressive though, its not war ready size or power..

SO i built the bigger version of this called the Tank Bow.
Check it out

They're carbon fibre. About 5 times as strong.

KnexFreek (author) says:

Aug 5, 2010. 4:38 PMknexjay says:

this is pretty sick man. There are some great innovators out there (like you). My only problem is that the body is a little bit unappealing. Other than that, it's a sweet gun. Great work, 5 stars for making an awesome gun and being innovative!

Maybe you could turn that extra bit of gray rod sticking out in the back into a stock or something?
