The Weekly Play Challenge: K'nex Guns!

______

Follow Me to hear about all of the Weekly Play Challenges.

This Week's Challenge: K'nex Guns! _{- click here for the K'nex Projects Challenge.}
Share your K'nex pistols, rifles, crossbows and cannons. Here's some epic examples of amazing K'nex guns:

K'nex guns sure are awesome, and you guys did not disappoint!
Choosing just one winner was difficult as there are some deep divisions between K'nex Gunners on the best triggers, ammo, elastics and construction methods. The winner was chosen based on clarity (pictures and construction) and appeal to viewers not already familiar with K'nex gun construction.

Anyone ever try making a gun using bungee cords? I have. 1 4 foot bungee cord and you can send a sharpened ruler through a piece of 1/4 inch plywood. Just make sure it's strong enough to withstand the loading pressure...

I am the author. I can't post comments with my other account. I sent you a pm about this before on the account.

Sep 24, 2011. 12:38 AM

~KGB~ says:

You cant enter someone elses ible. lol, i know its your other profile, but the "author" has to agree with putting it into the contest XD

Sep 22, 2011. 1:39 PM

~KGB~ says:

I dont think bakenbitz should be allowed enter the competition because his gun was posted way back like 2 years ago. since he got his account back, he then re-posted it. i dont really think this is fair because he didnt even actually make it for the contest. this technically means that any of the other entries users could purposley ban their account and the re-post any/all their guns and therfore, adding them into this challenge. all im saying is i dont really think it fair, and im sure the other entrants agree.

DJ Radio says:

Selziona's too, since he posted his entry twice.

Seleziona says:

I posted an instructable of it, the previous thing was only a slideshow. I was planning on making an instructable even before I knew about this contest.

Sep 23, 2011. 2:35 AM

~KGB~ says:

What do you mean? both of his guns were made after the contest started?

Sep 22, 2011. 6:13 PMrec0n says:

ehh honestly I don't care. It doesn't seem like much competition.
