Yet Another K'nex Gun (YAKG)

Step 3 "Enhanced" parts

You will need to decapitate 3 gray connectors. If you've built many other K'nex guns, you should already have some. If not,

1. Clamp down the connector with the hole sticking out.
2. Using a dremel or a hacksaw, cut off the top half (or a little more) of the hole.
3. Smooth it out with the dremel or sandpaper or your fingers.
You will need 3 of these.

I believe the modified orange connector is a new part. It's very simple.

1. Clamp down the connector with one end sticking out.
2. Dremel, hacksaw, bite off, whatever, one jaw of one end.
You only need one.

Important note:
The modified orange is optional unless you are using many rubber bands. If you do not feel like modifying one right now, you may proceed building. Be warned, however, that the unmodified orange connector makes it a lot easier for the gun to accidentally go off. The effect is magnified with more rubber bands. Never use more than 3 rubber bands with an unmodified connector, as the results will be unpredictable.

Or you can just use a ball joint socket for the "decapitated" grey connector coudn't you?
