Read the review!
That's right, a pistol that is truely rifled. It's a single shot, because single shots are the most powerful type of gun, second only to slingshots.
What is a rifle?
A rifle is a gun, traditionally a large weapon, like a sniper rifle. The barrel is constructed so the bullet will spin as it leaves, greatly improving accuracy and range.
How the heck does the Tempest work then?
Well, at the moment it is only a single shot, but it's really a case of one shot = one kill! A bendy rod is clipped onto the nozzle of the pistol, which causes the ammo to spin as it leaves. It is technically part of the barrel, as the firing pin runs alongside it.
But what if I don't have a bendy rod?
Don't worry, this pistol functions excellently as a regular gun, and it even has a seperate bullet lock for the benefit of those who don't have flexi rods. The flexi rod required is the length of a grey rod.

First the internals, then the plates. Simple.
In picture 1, you should see a part made of 3 orange connectors with tape round the top one. It should only be wrapped round twice, maybe three times. It's a low friction bullet lock.
Also in picture one, the handle has two whites not connected to anything, two greens not connected to anything and another two whites not connected to anything. There should be three in each row, not two, I never realised until after I took the photo of the error!
Last picture it shows the grips on the handle (which you made in picture 1). Ignore the pin, I'll explain that in the next step.

the way the rifle is is the reason it pulls if you made a rifle with 2 straight and 2 bendys then it might work better sorry for the horrible 1 min drawing from paint.
what i think it will do is cause it to go straighter and spin more.
It's a single shot pistol, with totally nothing special.
'there was so much kinetic enerrgy...'
bullshit.
I detect a hint of arrogance in you, by posting your 5 instructables (which bring absolutely nothing new to this already saturated website) you feel you now have the "experience and knowledge" to go around judging what other people have made, when really you have nothing to show for this supposed wisdom.
Instructables is supposed to be a supportive and inclusive community. The comment section was designed so people could offer their intelligent opinion and perhaps offer some advice, not shrieking "Bullshit" and mocking intelligent jargon such as the word "kinetic" (and I never really understood how using those words can be used against you).
Do you honestly think I care one bit if you think my stuff is "Bullshit"? Or the fact that you can't spell the word "energy"? Of course I don't, 159 subscribers shows that lots of people do like the stuff I make, coupled with the near 46,000 views I have also shows that my things can be quite popular. One little immature comment by some kid who wants to look 'cool' or 'rebellious' or simply making a desperate move to boost popularity won't knock me one bit, which makes me wonder why you even make silly little comments like that in the first place. Jealousy perhaps? Or just boredom? Or just plain immaturity? I assume it's the latter.
In a nutshell, get off this website right now if that's is your attitude :)
Haha I'm sorry, the next do I mean:
I've said my comment in the wron way, you're totally right about what you said. But you've to remember I'm a person and you don't have to judge over me, like you did. So did I, so i was wrong, not you, and I don't want to say that at all.
About my instructables etcetera, I don't agreed with that. Maybe ''smart' people like you want to have only new innovations, and I do agree with that, but hey, this is a free site and you don't have a say about what I'm posting.
And I'm really sorry about my English, I suck balls an it's not a way to end our discussion, and I love the way you're killing me with words, but you've judged too early.
Btw I'm way too nice for him, like my replie :S he thinks; Wow I'm 15 and I'msmart:S anyway, so he is acting.. So I don't understand why you like him
But never mind that, I have better things to do rather than argue with some dude over the internet.
Post Script: Does the name "Oodammo" refer to Oodalumps's discovery of red connecters + white rods as being best full knex ammo?
or is it pure coincidence one of your modles is called synegy?
sorry if name is wrong i cant see it in sidebar.
my max range is 30 feet :(
bud because you are my friend 5*
