it need more info and picture
I've made a 16 barrel Gatling gun it fire's 4 green rode each time it fire

[Knex Gataling]

Only 8 Barrels? Thats Noobish........(but so is my spelling) A good Gataling or Chain gun needs at least 16 rounds! I am soon going to submit a 24 round gataling gun!!!

cool this is one of my older gatling guns I am going to build another one better.

[D.A.V.E The Robot]

i built thiss and i found that you should use green rods as ammo instead of yellow rods

[chevy62]

where did you get the cyber knex

[coolpizzadude]

My parents got them from target seven or eight years ago for my birthday. I don't know if the cyber knex set is still in production. You can use one of the other knex motors though as long as it has a lot of power.

[chevy62]

i wanted them to make an rc car

[coolpizzadude]

Cool try looking on ebay something might turn up.

[PINKmonster325]

This isn't much of an instructable, It doesn't really "instruct" you how to do anything. Just shows pictures. Doesn't even tell you all the stuff you'll need. Try to add some instruction for the.......lesser......more incapable people. Believe me I know a few.

[monkeyscpie]

I know this may sound stupid but how do I shoot it exactly?

[ultrakill]

by the looks of it you make it rotate then make the trigger bit (highlighted in a previous step) rotate down slightly to hit the silver bits sticking out. u need to pull the red rods (with the elastic bands on them) back and push the silver bit around to stop them from pushing back, then when the trigger hits them, they get pushed out of the way and the rods fire :) can u tell I'm a knex gun enthusiast?

[Miles Tails Prower]

I have made a gatling gun with 16 rounds, true trigger and 2 speeds (All Terrain Trekker motor).

[coolpizzadude]

cool

[Stavroz]

Well... There are a few things that i should say. -Looks good, nice design. -Does't use hack of a lot of pieces. -Works well so in one word, Awesome.

[coolpizzadude]

thanks

[coolpizzadude]

thanks

[redneckobsessed]

u know it is quite simple to make this gun into a 16 shot! all you have to do is put to "barrels" onto a yellow connector, and u do this 8 times, attatch the dbl barrels onto the white with wht rods and ..... TA DA!

[coolpizzadude]

Thanks.

[I_am_Canadian]

The gun itself is not great but i love da stand.

[coolpizzadude]

you are right but that is not the strongest motor out there I would say that is the weakest motor out there but it is the fastest

[coolpizzadude]

you can use any motor except the gray motors they don't have any power

[dsman195276]

um, you have to specify what grey motor. I am guessing that you mean the classic motor correct? the big grey motor that uses 4 AA batteries is the strongest motor out there. lol. :-)

[coolpizzadude]

you can get cyber knex on ebay in fact thats where I get all my knex from.

[coolpizzadude]

It can empty in about a second but it can vary on how many rubber bands you have on each gun

[Whaleman]

Looks like a simple Gatling, but with an extra motor to switch the "trigger" from fire to safe.

[CelloMan]

i don't have those motors, can i use just any motor instead?

[flames10391]

what set did you get those motors and controller from? name it if possible...lol i need to get some more motors

[the_burrito_master]

Cyber knex ultra or any of the Cyber knex. ebay

[coolpizzadude]

I got it from the cyber knex ultra set
