it is called a crankshaft, not a drive shaft.

Never thought of using a drill to power stuff before... could work for weaponry. Great build, I reckon you might just win this thing. You will probably get the top score in this round too...

one person made a fully auto airsoft bb shooter that worked off a crank a drill would make that gun go crazy

viper2788 says: Jan 21, 2009. 8:28 PM

it would work very well for weaponry in fact. its exactly what you need for a powerful, fully automatic gun with a high rate of fire. i'd actually love to see one properly built ;)

knexguy says: Jan 21, 2009. 11:32 PM

I might give it a go, I'm bored at the moment.

viper2788 says: Jan 23, 2009. 12:19 AM

so... how did it go?

knexguy says: Jan 23, 2009. 8:59 AM

I'm still working on converting my PDW/CQB weapon into an assault rifle. Here's the base design:

I see Knexsayer handle.

knexguy says: Jan 28, 2009. 10:48 AM

I know, but it's so COMFY!

razzlekunai says: Jan 28, 2009. 2:19 PM

Indeed, it is comfy. Have you built the Knexsayer?

knexguy says: Jan 29, 2009. 8:21 AM

Yep, don't have it anymore though, destroyed it for a shell-ejecting sniper. Still in progress.

razzlekunai says: Jan 29, 2009. 3:38 PM

Nice. Is it your own design, or is it the one Bakenbitz has on KI?

knexguy says: Jan 30, 2009. 8:42 AM

My own take on the theme. No copying.

razzlekunai says: Feb 2, 2009. 4:43 PM

Ah, I see. Tell me how it goes, it seems really interesting :P

knexguy says: Feb 3, 2009. 1:10 AM

My idea was for a bolt which pulled back the pin and the chamber cover, releasing the previous shell and allowing a new one to load, then pushing the bolt forward would re-cover the ejection port. It's very buggy, I will have to work hard on this one :/

razzlekunai says: Feb 3, 2009. 5:21 AM

That's a pretty cool idea. The way the system goes, it will be single shot, yes?

Yeah I've thought about using a drill for weaponry but it would be impractical because of how big a normal drill is and you would need to have it be a cordless drill to move around, making recharging batteries necessary too. I hope I win it, but like I said I have some tough competition.

Rasushi says: Jan 15, 2009. 8:30 AM

vernors says: Jan 3, 2009. 8:38 AM

cool. try putting the valves (gas intake and exahst from an to the cylenders) and maybe even a carborator (assuming it doesnt have gas injection).

killjoy says: Jan 2, 2009. 1:07 PM

I think Knex are cool. And this is cool but I agree with lebowski I would like to see how to make this.

I_am_Canadian says: Dec 30, 2008. 3:11 PM

Thats class man! Seriously good building going on here... No doubt a great entry. Good luck! Posting...?

s0lekill3r (author) says: Dec 30, 2008. 7:01 PM

Thanks, good luck to you too. I might be posting, I'll have to see if I have enough pieces left after I'm done making the master chief replica suit. (go ahead, laugh lol)

Skreetsha says: Dec 31, 2008. 1:42 AM

Skreetsha says: Dec 31, 2008. 11:11 AM

You're welcome! Who builds cool things, gets good compliments! :D

killjoy says: Dec 31, 2008. 8:52 AM

Wow that is amazing good luck I hope the best for you to win. P.S. have you had pieces melt i built a similar engine and due to friction my engine started to melt that was probably because i used a super motor and was at 4200 RPM :)
