XKR Knex Assault Rifle - big mod of Jager's

XKR Knex Assault Rifle - big mod of Jager\

This is my Assault rifle. It is a very extensive mod of Jager's assault rifle - all I kept was his very clever trigger system and the barrel shape. It has a better way of dropping the ammo in, and I think I have made the whole gun slightly stiffer. I have tried to make the pictures as meaningful as possible, please PM me if u can't understand them.
Credit to Gorkem for the butt shape, Jager for the trigger and the end of the barrel, and the inventor of the OSNJCKMA2 for the adapted magazine of his that I extensively adapted for my gun.
XKR stands for two things - Xtra-good Knex Rifle, or eX Kevin Rudd, our new jerk of a Prime Minister.
I am not going to state a range, because it is impossible to measure a range, because people have different elastics, and build it differently. What I will say it that it is quite powerful, and with one elastic on each side of the ram it fired as far the Gorkem's sniper I built. Maybe I did a crap job with Gorkem's, or maybe this is really good. I dunno.

Parts List (all counts are approximate, but they are pretty accurate)

Rods

9 Grey rods
1 black rod (or grey if you don't have)
6 purple/green bendy rods (just decorations)
6 red rods
1 tan rod (or red, if you don't have)
13 Yellow rods
39 Blue rods (or so - they're hard to count)
Lots and Lots of white and green rods

Connectors

Lots of light and dark grey connectors, most of them are intercahngeable
30 reds (plus six on front handle, or something else)
42 yellow connectors
49 full circle connectors - all but 4 can be swapped for 7 slot ones.
36 straight connectors
42 green connectors

P.S whenever I say "magazine", what I mean is hopper, but my ego gets that much bigger when I say that I build a magazine, rather than I built a hopper.

This is the butt of the gun. Everything in this gun is symmetrical, by the way. Follow the instructions.

1. How it will look when it is finished.
2. Build this. It actually faces the other way round in the gun.
3. This is the ram.
4. Attach them together like this. Don't forget to add the brown connector.
5. Now add two rods on top, and a yellow connector below them.
6. Add another grey rod through the red rod, and attach the two green connectors.
7. -
8. Attach this. The only point of connection with the rest is the horizontal blue rod.
9. When building this, attach grey rods to red connectors and then attach it to the blue circle.
10. -
11. I only had one bendy yellow rod left. If you don't have them, a pair of normal ones will be fine.
12. This is slightly more difficult, but just follow the picture and you can build this butt. This is copied almost exactly off gorkem's sniper, so credit to him for the shape.

Lol this is the 3rd highest rated knex gun?
Sep 23, 2010. 1:15 PMTheFoofinator says:
yes, it is? I think someone has been hacking, Seleziona's striker is exactly 5*, with only 25 ratings, considering it takes an average, and some people have been rating it 4.5, that isn't possible
Sep 23, 2010. 1:37 PMTheFoofinator says:
woops! new rating system!!

 yay you used my favorite magazine!
Sep 15, 2009. 6:30 PMILIKEPIE333 says:
This weapon is extremely flimsy, there is no getting around that, but the range is average with a couple rbs on the ram, and the mech is actually stronger than it looks, so overall 3.75-4*s

nice work Gareth I c you have tried to make a better version of hummies gun. Although I still think the original is better. But try to make a gun that is your own because some of this is my design like the handle section but it is still a good improvement from your remake of the pump action shot gun rifle lol. Remember the one you brought to school that snapped in half. ummmm... no offence but by the way it looks and from the comments your gun doesn't seem very strong. hmmmmmmmm..... lets c try making gorkems again but don't stuff it up, or try to make killerks sniper (but is requires a heek load of pieces and is hard to build as it hurts your fingers a lot). I've also stopped making knex and I think I might sell mine since I have about 5 to 10k of it. maby you can buy or I might sell on ebay.... anyway keep up the good work see you soon man.................. lol long comment longest on your page I hope. And hows it gowing on runescape r u past level 50 yet, im level 90 now and i got 1.8 mill woot woot woot............. my names beau97 is anyone wants to add me.... cya guys and happy knexing :)
Mar 14, 2009. 2:46 PMThe Jamalam says:
i think this is actually much better. it is way more reliable from what i can see.
