this took me a long time to make from the few pictures of it.

I have to say, coming back some years later (I made this instructable in... Middle school I believe and I'm in college now) I can't help but laugh. It somewhat amazes me that I look at it now and I can see how bad it is, but when I was in Middle School I looked this thing over at least 5 times to make sure it was perfect.

can you put 1 motor on it? i have just one!

dsman195276 (author) in reply to thegreyhunterDec 3, 2012. 3:45 PM

Um, sorry to say I don't actually know, I haven't had this built for some years now. But, what I do know is if you do build it and find that one motor doesn't work for whatever reason, you could always mess around with some gears a little bit on it. I don't know how long you've been building with K'Nex, but if you were to say attach a small gear to the motor and then use that small gear to turn a bigger gear on the barrels, that could give you more power (though it'd turn slower)

And honestly, when I first made this I didn't even have motors on it, just a crank on the end which is easy enough to make and just as much fun ;)

that is awesome!

u really need to post how many of each piece is needed to make this, like a parts list so that way when we build it we can go out and buy all the parts to build it beforehand it would make it much more convenient.

dsman195276 (author) in reply to jacobvan97Jul 25, 2012. 9:43 PM

Sorry, in hind site I probably should have added one, but It's been years now (5 in fact judging by the dates in the pictures) and I don't have the gun anymore to count the pieces.

Sorry. But while I can't give you an exact number, if you just count how many connectors you need for one barrel, multiply it by 16, that should give you a rough estimate of the pieces needed. You probably have enough parts already to build the entire base assuming you have the two motors needed. I'm fairly certain I would work with just one, but if you have two then you can be certain you'd be able to get it working.

I just finished a auto-machine gun with 1 rubberband and 1 motor, but the range is quiet silly ( 4 - 6 feet ) and there is just enough space for 4 bullets

builder968 says: Nov 29, 2008. 3:28 PM

you should stuff the barrels with as many green rods as you can, giving you... THE SHOTGUN GATLING GUN!!!

KnexFreek in reply to minerugDec 15, 2009. 7:31 PM

thats insane!!!!

how many gray rods long is/was it?

minerug in reply to KnexFreekDec 18, 2009. 2:45 AM

At least about three or four. Once again, I must say the whole gun bit didn't rotate very well

LOL ! Thats Awesome

geodez in reply to minerugJun 23, 2009. 11:47 PM

halfroboy in reply to minerugJun 8, 2009. 7:50 PM

lol u own WAY too many pieces... (almost as much as me)

RMConstruction in reply to minerugMay 31, 2009. 2:32 AM

Looks cool, i know its didmanteled, but did the gatling gun rotate?

minerug in reply to RMConstructionMay 31, 2009. 4:14 AM

I had another motor inside the back hooked up to it. Admittedly it didn't work too well.

RMConstruction in reply to minerugMay 31, 2009. 4:56 AM

dsman195276 (author) in reply to minerugOct 12, 2008. 8:56 AM

that is sweet....

minerug in reply to dsman195276Oct 12, 2008. 5:01 PM

Yeah, but it can't go forwards faster than a snail, because the weight of the gun flexes the axels. I'm still working on it.. (the turret works)

vuurwerkbar says: Jun 18, 2010. 3:54 AM

nice

husbag3 says: Oct 29, 2009. 1:47 AM

i dont have enough pieces even with changing the yellow connectors for green ones. how du get so many?

narutokid201 says: Sep 25, 2009. 10:02 AM

how many knex did you use to make this

ausi_mill says: Sep 12, 2009. 9:50 AM

how much can i buy it for

dsman195276 (author) in reply to ausi_millSep 12, 2009. 10:48 AM

1. i don't have it any more 2. i would never think of selling my k'nex

crazyhorse7 says: Sep 10, 2009. 5:42 PM

that is insane!!! i like it

natethegreat88 says: Aug 20, 2009. 8:03 AM

Wow, that thing is massive. I'm suprised that it only weighs 5lbs. Bonus points for adding a crank attatchment. I'll try to make it IF i ever get all of the peices.

natethegreat88 in reply to natethegreat88Aug 20, 2009. 10:51 AM

And may i ask how far this shoots and like how many peices this took?
