Somethings wrong with me, I can't stop modding this gun!
It's really addictive!

But now my parents have confiscated it cos my brother said I threatened him with it, which I didn't =( (much)

Problem is I'll have to canabalise it to build any other K'nex guns in the future =( O well, I'll have the memories.

The Jamalam (author) in reply to roblin90Oct 27, 2009. 2:07 PM

Ah shame :/ Means you'll be happier when you get it back though.

How much did you threaten him exactly?

It doesn't matter, you've got instructions for it if you need it again!

roblin90 in reply to The JamalamOct 27, 2009. 2:19 PM

I didn't ACTUALLY threaten him, I was just waving it around un loaded and not charged, but my parents didn't like it...

Good point though I will be happy! =)

Great instructable! I thought you might like to see some mods that I made to mine, as I had some time on my hands and some more K'nex. Most of the changes are only for aesthetic appeal and aiming, but the extra elastic band I added increses the power significantly (!). I also designed a new trigger that can withstand the pull of stronger elsatic bands without snapping, I added more Grey and Buff 'guidence' pieces and made the handle stronger and longer. One disadvantage that I found was that it is now impossible to load the yellow 'bullets' in the right way, they have to be slotted in through the end :(

O yeah and I added a stand at the front for photo purposes only, 'cause it isn't very sturdy or strong.

The Jamalam (author) in reply to roblin90Oct 24, 2009. 1:17 AM

Nice gun! I think that if you wanted to you should post it!

roblin90 in reply to The JamalamOct 24, 2009. 1:42 AM

I'll do that now. Can I add a link to your page to save me building the main part of it again?

The Jamalam (author) in reply to roblin90Oct 24, 2009. 2:43 AM

Sure! =D

roblin90 in reply to The JamalamOct 24, 2009. 3:14 AM

Thanks! =)

squarepants says: Sep 16, 2009. 12:01 PM

this reminds me of the pistol i just built and am about to post. Mine has similar range and power, and is extremely reliable. only thing it lacks is innovation =p

ok i did some research on tourettes syndrom and the tick are anything from short uncontrolled jerky movements or words to long actions or phrases ( also un controllable) that may seem purposful like picking up a forl or other item and sniffing it or sayin something not meant to be said ( like oompa-loompa said)
