The Knex Snapper

This small yet powerful gun for its size is small enough to fit into your pocket! It uses minimal pieces and provides a nice *snap* sound when fired. This is my first instructable ever so please try to keep the comments on the nice side. This gun shoots about 30ft. Feel free to mod it and add things but please give me credit if you make an instructable!

I have an aunt who is younger than me.

[mettaurlover]

technically i'm my own uncle.

[DrWeird117]

?

[mettaurlover]

my grandparents adopted me and my sister from my dad, making my dad my brother. make sense now?

[Smasher555]

I don't know what your talking about, so here is a bunny with a pancake on its head:

[mettaurlover]

Are you just hunting down my comments to annoy me? Because you're doing a good job of it. Especially on a comment OVER A YEAR OLD. Flagged as spam.

[Smasher555]

SORRY, it wasn't supposed to be offensive or anything in that nature, I just thought it would be funny. A bunny with a pancake on it's head? rofl

[mettaurlover]

You are apparently searching through my comments as evidenced by the fact that you replied to a comment not directly visible on my front page.

[Smasher555]

I was viewing the instructable and I always look through the comments to see what people are saying to see if it's worth building. And I'm NOT a spammer.I was looking on YouTube one day and found the slide action pistol and the video said to go to www.instructables.com to view the rest of the instructions, found that this was an interesting website so I signed up in May. God damn I'm just a normal person!

[mettaurlover]

Makes sense. Still, if you've been here since then, you'd know that three months is about the acceptable time limit for replying to comments if you weren't originally involved.

[ol987986]

lol!

[DrWeird117]

Oh. Okay, then. You're your own uncle.

[mettaurlover]

it's also confusing because technically your sibling's parents are your parents and since my father is my father and my brother at the same time he's his own father.

[DrWeird117]

What are holidays like with you guys? :D

[mettaurlover]

pretty normal, actually. we just use that little piece of info to amuse people. by the same logic, i'm my own father.

[ol987986]

omfg ur right

[mettaurlover]

It's fun.

[DrWeird117]

Oh, my God. You are! That is really pretty cool!

[mettaurlover]

yep. hey, what time sone are you in? if it's the time zone chicago's in, then you have an equally screwed up sleep schedule or you don't have to wake up early...

[DrWeird117]

EST.

[smilee]

RANDOMNESS!!!!! (HIGH FIVE)

[DrWeird117]

LOL, randomness!

[Smasher555]

It's not even a bullet lock, its just basically a piece holding the bulet in

[dsman195276]

:-( :-( ok, for starters: 1. this gun is not powerful unless you put over 15 rubberbands on the firing pin. 2. this gun is really simple 3. it is a basic block trigger 4. it stinks.

[NYPA]

Well That's your opinion isn't it?

[Stavroz]

That's cruel.

[I_am_Canadian]

"it stinks" Ouch!

[dsman195276]

sorry, was that to mean?

[I_am_Canadian]

Nope, just right!

[rawknexstuff]

I think it was too mean.

[I_am_Canadian]

Perhaps a tad :-p

[bannana inventor]

We must think alike or something I just said stuff like that in my comment. =:D=

[dsman195276]

i guess.

[DrWeird117]

I am truly sick of block trigger complaints.

[ilpug]

be nice people. this is a basic gun. its well made, and its a good ible. just because it cant kill small animals or break bottles doesnt mean its a valid gun.

[mettaurlover]

i once made something like this. the difference was that it was true trigger and had an awesome ammo-storing handle.

[Shredder543]

I like this little thing... Very high power compared to it's size I built two and I love em =) 5/5

[Jackp5]

i made a model like this before but this one is better Great Model

[talons95]

do you need the tape

[fortheheckofit]

this is a pretty good design for a basic block, but it's still a basic block trigger...so i'll give it 3*.
