The KING of K'nex RBGs: the Gnasher Shotgun

This is my favourite gun I have ever made (out of k'nex). It is a working model of Gears of War's Gnasher Shotgun (my fav video game gun).

This is a 8 shot semi automatic RBG. Different from other RBG's, you must break the lever (bring it forward) to initiate another shot. The gun is capable of taking heavy pressures, so feel free to lay on the elastic power.

I apologize in advance for some of the pics having poor picture quality. Just ask if you need clarification on any of them.

Hope you guys enjoy this as much as I do.

Dave

Ps: if you hold the lever forward and then shoot, all the elastics fly off at once.

Step 1: Build the Hand Guard (lower part of the lever)

Build exactly what you see here to construct the hand guard part of the lever (the part you put your hand in. The upper part also acts as a trigger guard.

This gun works amazingly and is a great replica. Great job. I moded it for pump action with a simple lever system and strengthened everything so it holds like 30 bands. XD

ive built it all, followed instructions, but my trigger doesnt fit in like yours does... i really dont know what to do. so its all built perfectly, but it just cant shoot. so overall AMAZING replica of the gnasher

aleceatsfood says: Dec 14, 2010. 4:12 PM

I want to build this but it looks like more parts than I have right now and 40 STEPS wow seems hard

Nice gun, steps a bit unclear but I managed to build it. It does not have semi-auto firing, You must cycle the gun.

narutokid201 in reply to wizkid7May 14, 2010. 1:09 PM

in blatent terms it is semi-auto cause you dont need to but a new bullet in every time

HK.RBG.armorer (author) in reply to narutokid201Nov 2, 2010. 9:22 PM

Correct. Any weapon that requires manual cycling of the operating mechanism and allows continuous discharge of several projectiles is known as a semi-automatic weapon.

If this were a one-shot weapon, it would not be. Further, if this gun were to discharge multiple projectiles in quick succession via one trigger pull, it would be an automatic.

But you guys know that.

I'm just glad to see so many people are still interested in this gun. I regret selling my 25 000 pieces of k'nex now, I have a jonesin to make this again.

No, Semi auto is one bullet per trigger pull, without having to re-cock the gun afterwards.

tmilligan in reply to tomm0505Mar 29, 2011. 12:29 PM

Semi automatic shotgun, unless theres buck shot, multiple projectiles are fired.

I made some upgrade my self: i made it longer the middle 2 rows whit connerctors and rods so rubberbands don't get squeezed and slow them down and the bi-pod from morretti SR-4 just for some fun Ow and i still need to add the mech upgrade. And whit the right rubberbands 6-7m almost accurate.

This is a pretty awesome mod to my original design dude (or gal).

ferrari484 in reply to ferrari484Oct 3, 2009. 5:15 AM

i got no problem at all,

kellykell says: May 22, 2010. 10:52 PM

i thought this was a rod gun

TheEvilCookie says: May 10, 2010. 8:18 PM

I've added a simple barrel so that instead of shooting rubberbands, it shoots ammo. the ammo is a red connecter + green rod + orange conecter. After each shot just simply place it in then break lever than shoot =]

HK.RBG.armorer (author) in reply to sniper crazyDec 23, 2007. 7:49 AM

I suppose you can, although when it comes time to break the lever, you might have to pull a schwarzenneger (lever it with one hand, then catch the grip) which could turn out breaking the mechanisms or the gun itself, but good luck with that lol
