Thats an understatement, when I was 5, I could make something better than this.

what is the difference between a hopper and a mag
Apr 10, 2011. 7:46 AMCristiano Ronaldo says:
A hopper is like a funnel that narrows bullets into the receiver holds up to about 30-50.
A mag is a guided path with a mag push, the mag push "pushes the bullets up in the receiver.

weird trigger
Dec 28, 2010. 11:53 AMknexman2001 says:
i agree
Apr 3, 2011. 5:37 AMlhinkle says:
i think the trigger is for decoration
Nov 19, 2010. 7:35 PMskyfaller says:
The ''blue'' thing is supposed to be a yellow/grey half moon connector. In this case, its yellow, grey AND blue.
Jan 29, 2011. 11:34 AMlhinkle says:
wait..........i think its a green peice
Feb 13, 2011. 10:32 AMskyfaller says:
Yea, i don't know. I just didn't add it, the gun worked fine. I scrapped it though, i don't even know why.
Feb 10, 2011. 2:36 PMKalinduW77 says:
If you are going to make instructions explain everything in detail please
Jul 19, 2009. 8:04 AMLaxMonkey says:
In your first pic, what kind of piece is in between the white connecters furthest right? it looks blue but i have no idea what piece it is.
Jan 29, 2011. 10:19 AMlhinkle says:
yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nov 30, 2010. 7:16 AMthehoyboy says:

Nov 30, 2010. 6:52 AMthehoyboy says:
i know
Nov 18, 2010. 8:14 PMskyfaller says:
IF you guys have extra green and white rods, make the hopper bigger.

Its alot better for a war.
Jul 4, 2010. 11:21 AMNeoventilator22 says:
yes please make em easier to understand as im currently losing my rag with it as the bolt keeps flinging out *nearly breaks gun*
Nov 18, 2010. 6:43 PMskyfaller says:
Tape the orange connector to the red rod.
May 29, 2009. 4:10 AMdisney010 says:
what piece do you use to keep the white rods from not falling out
Sep 5, 2010. 9:54 AMbaseball503 says:
orange connecters
Aug 22, 2010. 4:11 PMDallasDeckard says:
The fourth picture isn't of the barrel, what is it?
Sep 4, 2010. 3:55 PMMrSillyGuns says:
the handle
Aug 20, 2010. 1:30 PMKnexfreak9123 says:
I modded it to be for a lefty... all u have 2 do is reverse the pump & trigger.
Aug 5, 2010. 10:00 PMknexinventer says:
i love the gun it is perfect after i modded some stuff like the mag i made it less flimsy and bigger
Jul 22, 2010. 6:41 AMkakarot1234 says:
difficult to understand but you can pretty much figure it out in a while
Jul 1, 2010. 7:56 PMkmanv3 says:
um is there a way that i can make it go in my left hand?
Jun 26, 2010. 11:14 AMnuttyboy812 says:
they all bw white i can tell by the space but they have blue ones for some crazy reason
Apr 6, 2010. 10:27 PMrec0n says:
is this true bolt action?
Jun 8, 2010. 5:52 PMpie25x says:
Almost. A true bolt action loads a bullet and cocks (lol) the firing pin at the same time.
Jun 9, 2010. 9:24 PMrec0n says:
are there 2 firing chambers?
Jun 22, 2010. 4:02 PMTheChemiker says:
There can be only one firing chamber, unless it is a shotgun. This gun does seperate the round from the mag, though.
Jun 18, 2010. 9:58 AMpie25x says:
What?
Jun 18, 2010. 10:08 AMrec0n says:
look at Zak's BA or DJ's BA .
Jun 25, 2010. 2:52 PMpie25x says:
BA or P.U.?
May 29, 2010. 5:33 PMCODKING says:

Ok once i finished wich only took a few mins. It was working well untill about 5 shots. then the firing pin would get to the bullet and just move up words so it wouldnt shoot any more but a great gun

 

Apr 23, 2010. 4:36 PMsmegz says:
its awesome!!! but i added a rod going through the 2 snowflake connectors where the ram rod is so that it stays put much easier,,,i enjoyed this gun very much,,,good loading speed and speed between sots is less than a second or two if trying to shoot quickly rather than accurately,,,:)lol
