The X685 VORTEX

This is a huge, bulky, difficult-to-use Giant ferris-wheel-turned-gatling-gun.
it does, however, fire at a massive 2000 or more rpm. Yes, 25 bullets in under a second.

This instructable is made in 3 main parts: the wheel, the frame, and the barrels.

Be warned, as this gun requires a huge amount of pieces!

Step 1: The Wheel, Part 1

A pretty easy step.
Pieces:
50 blue 3d connectors
50 purple 3d connectors
73 white rods
2 Green rods

Make 24 of pic. 2 and 1 of pic 3.

if evolution is true then tell me how sun made earth what made the sun. Jesus is real.

[Darth Trainman]

The sun did not make the earth. Earth did not make the sun. The sun is a giant ball of hot gas. The solar system was just a bunch of rocks and dust and gas. Rocks collided and eventually enough collided to make the earth. The sun was caused by the collapse of a giant hydrogen cloud. QED, Jesus is not proven.

I know this comment is over 2 years old, but I just wanted to clarify something. Evolutions biggest flaw is, without a creator nothing would be anywhere, therfore how would an explosion result, and another flaw is planets would not be spheres if evolultion was true, and by the way you were NOT on earth 65 billion years ago it has been proven that our solar system is in the neighborhood of 6,000 years old NOT 65 billion or million or whatever

waths a commando connector?

[182515]

LOL YOU SHOT THE CAMERA!

[gerrits13]

try putting 4 green rods in each barrel 100 shots

[Fred the Penguin]

glorified ferris wheel

[geodez]

you are the king of gattling guns Darth Trainman.

[legolover5]

could u make something a bit smaller plz i dont have enough knex. its 2 cool 2 not be built so could u make like a Vortex mini or something i really want 2 build it though.

[Radioactv Biohazard]

Lol in the video the dog was like "WHAT THE ****?!*

[noobererer]

that is EXACTLY wat i was thinking!!

[ColtonBlake]

i hated this instructable. :( I would not reccomend it

[kurtcobain132]

why did you not ever finish the gun.....

[PikminRed]

what set did you get the motor from???!!!

[Darth Trainman]

Terrain Trekker, I believe.

[Hiyadudez]

I Have that motor, bought it off Ebay for about £8 :) And btw trainman, i have seen some are your ball machines, and chaos, well what can i say? ITS LIKE THE TOTALLYEST MOST FANTASTIC ULTRA GRAVITY DEFYING SUPER DUPER ball machine ever, oh yeh, and 1 more thing - is the CHAOS ball machine undetectable by radar? :P

[builder968]

what os with knexers and religion?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[yerjoking]

I'm not christian, I'm an evolutionist, but all this arguing is getting on my nerves tbh, we should just let people believe what they want.

[Darth Trainman]

Most of them Are Christian and I love arguing with them

[Der Bradly]

what to argue about?

[Darth Trainman]

Um, everything. Personally, I think the Creationists' greatest flaw is the assumption that if there's any evidence against evolution, it is automatically disproved and Creationism must be the only possible truth.

[Der Bradly]

well actully that is true, but not all evidence disproves evolution, but just makes creatism seem more logical (it realy is logical)

[Darth Trainman]

God says poof and in six days everything's there. Yuh-huh, makes perfect sense.

[Der Bradly]

do you have a problem with that?

[Darth Trainman]

Yes. You're using a story to comfort people away from an actual explanation.

[DrWeird117]

Please, I REALLY don't want to start anything, but, you didn't see any little guys walking out of Hiroshima, did you?

[Darth Trainman]

No... but what does that have to do with anything?

[DrWeird117]

That's basically what evolution is; life forms stepping out of an explosion and shaking hands with the world.

[Darth Trainman]

Slight difference...
A) Evolution = 4.5 billion+ years. I don't think you understand how much you can do in 4.5 billion years. Evolution is so slow and gradual it hurts. It isn't at all just saying BOOM poof. That's Creationism.

B) The big bang was not a big bomb, as some think, it was more like a giant, expansion of matter. Nuclear bomb = nuclei fission, Big Bang = Expansion of mass.

4.5 BILLION years.

That's a lot of time. Crrsly.

[Jesus.]

think of the ball machine you could build in 4.5 billion years, wow

[DrWeird117]

LMAO

[Jesus.]

whats LMAO mean??

[DrWeird117]

I know, but still. Scientists should at least see beginnings of new cell structure. Right?

[builder968]

a nuclear bomb would just mutate or kill us, because even if we're out of the explosion range, there would still be fallout.

[DrWeird117]

Right. Just like the Ghouls in Fallout 3.

[DrWeird117]

Man, did ANYone notice that was a joke?

[DrWeird117]

I really don't know who to believe. I can't believe we just stepped out of an expansion of mass. I also can't believe everything was created in 6 days. Oh, man...this sucks.

[Darth Trainman]

We didn't step out, it took at least a billion years to just form DNA... And humankind as we know it didn't appear 'til like... 50,000 years ago or so... Which is like the last .00001%... So don't think we stepped out. As I said, EXTREMELY slow and gradual change.

[builder968]

the first actual humans were around 35,000 yrs ago.

[Darth Trainman]

Close enough, you get the point...
