The Tick

The Tick

Okay, so by popular demand, I'm posting this gun, aptly named, The Tick. This k'nex gun is the smallest true-trigger, mag-fed k'nex gun on the site. If you can build a smaller one, well, wow. (I'm not counting taking the "handle" off of mine) So, without further interuption, I present, The Tick.

P.S - Just follow the numbered pics (even tho u could just build it from the intro pic lol)

Features:

Size: N/A
Range: ~ 15 Ft.
Accuracy: Inconsistent
Pc. Count: Extremely Low
Mag Size: 3 (w/ pre-load)

Feb 4, 2009. 4:52 AMMiles Tails Prower says:

Does not work. Even when I chopped off the yellow rod (SNIFF!!!) it didn't work.

Feb 4, 2009. 6:13 AMBig Z (author) says:

Feb 14, 2009. 1:28 PMBig Z (author) says:

Feb 20, 2009. 8:37 PMrazzlekunai says:

In size, yes. In overall function, no.

Feb 22, 2009. 2:17 PMBig Z (author) says:

Mar 8, 2009. 10:13 AMMiles Tails Prower says:
