Step 14Option #3: Recoil Dampening
You may notice this gun tends to kick forward a little when the firing pin hits the barrel. This can throw off your laser and/or your aim. Here is how to minimize that recoil.
Go to your hardware store. Bring a small K'nex rod with you. Find a nice strong compression spring that fits closely around the K'nex rod. Clamp down your spring, and cut it to about 3/4" with your dremel or hacksaw. If you use a dremel, it makes cool fireworks-like sparks.
1: This is about what your spring should look like.
3: Remove the rubber bands and take out the firing pin.
4: Place your spring onto the black rod, with a blue donut on either side.
5: Stick the firing pin back in, and replace the rubber bands.
