I have 3 Q's. Here they are. 1. What is Sears System? 2. How does it work? 3. Are there anymore K'nex trigger systems out there?
Wafflicious in reply to Soopah SteveNov 27, 2008. 8:25 AM
1)It has a lock for the firing pin behind the gun that holds it in place untill the trigger is pulled. 2) look above 3) There are about a gajillion k'nex trigger systems
DJ Radio in reply to WaffliciousMar 1, 2009. 8:45 AM
no, there are just 4. The block trigger, the true trigger, the sear system, and the hammer.
The Jamalam in reply to DJ RadioMar 9, 2009. 1:44 PM
fail. there are millions. rbg guns, and things like both of those in the 223
DJ Radio in reply to The JamalamMar 9, 2009. 2:46 PM
i was talking about ram guns.
The Jamalam in reply to DJ RadioMar 10, 2009. 11:17 AM
even so there are many types of trigger.
mythbusterma in reply to The JamalamOct 11, 2009. 9:34 PM

Another Way to get better pic quality is to use Macro-mode if your camera supports it
necropolian in reply to dragonegoAug 9, 2008. 7:07 AM
or ASR, Advanced Shake Reduction.
The Jamalam in reply to necropolianMar 9, 2009. 1:45 PM
sounds like a movie title :P
necropolian in reply to The JamalamMar 12, 2009. 11:22 PM
another cool movie name could be; "Extreme Deep Invader" which is a parody on the movie stealth, then.
necropolian in reply to The JamalamMar 11, 2009. 7:15 AM
movie spoiler: the ASR team fails in trying to kill the bad guy, who turns out to be an earthquake...the girl loves him anyway and they get a lot of children. look forward to ASR 2!
The Jamalam in reply to necropolianMar 11, 2009. 9:45 AM
lol children edition to the team! Yay! I might make some vids of that XD
necropolian in reply to The JamalamMar 12, 2009. 4:38 AM
don't forget to include a scottish engineer, an advisor with pointy ears and an android in the team!
The Jamalam in reply to necropolianMar 12, 2009. 8:57 AM

cobra in reply to knex forger Feb 7, 2008. 7:14 AM
you should post it. I'm posting a small sniper rifle that can shoot over 150 feet, but guess what....it's a block trigger, but it's totally awesome!

knexsuperbuilderfreak in reply to bballkidxJul 19, 2008. 3:20 PM
ok
MI6 says: Jun 30, 2008. 9:44 AM
I know i keep on saying this but ive modded this so much its barely recognisable .
MI6 says: May 31, 2008. 5:33 AM
Wow its only when i see it again 1 month after i built it. It looks quite different from mine ! You could probably recognise it but mine looks more like a P-90 , as it has a hopper on the barrel , also the trigger doesntbreak , the grip and butt and firing pin are improved.
MI6 says: May 10, 2008. 6:22 AM
The front handle is different, it has more power (4 rubbers) , better firing pin, sights are near back , has a better stock, different barrel which can be slotted in the top or muzzle loaded. The trigger system is still the same , and is very good. Shame that i can't show you my new mods.
MI6 in reply to MI6May 10, 2008. 6:22 AM
Oh and a hopper :)
MI6 says: May 10, 2008. 6:19 AM
Wow its weird cos ive made so many mods to this gun that this one looks really different.
MI6 says: May 4, 2008. 11:12 AM
I made it and it's very good ... with some modding , mostly due to my lack of peices , but also that (no offense) crappy butt you've got. I took it off and put on an arrangement with red connectors with blue rods on the 90degree bits , and yellow semi-cirlce connectors which then click on with blue rods. It is similar to the butt of this gun , but more square. I also improved the firing pin , but it is good , and the trigger system is good.

Just a tip on the firing pin if you take off the gray clip in the front and replace it with an orange clip youll have easier reloading
ultimatesx9 says: Nov 20, 2007. 2:24 PM
likekd the look of it, unti li didnt have some peices, but i made a new solution to this, cant wait to fire it!!
knex lover says: Sep 14, 2007. 3:47 PM
arent there supposed to be 4 blue spacers?
bballkidx (author) says: Aug 3, 2007. 8:35 PM
if by a true trigger u mean a lever that you push in with your finger to make the gun shoot, then yes
knex lover says: Aug 2, 2007. 9:20 PM
is this a true trigger?
TJS says: Jun 11, 2007. 9:39 AM
wow how did you come up with the new trigger I WANT ONE (but i dont have enough bits!)
knexlord says: May 28, 2007. 11:35 AM
nice gun but if you could somehow make it a semi auto it would make the best semi auto gun around but good for single load
knex hater hater says: Mar 25, 2007. 9:20 PM
pics are way off i cant make this anyway. tip its better to zoom in standing away from the object than it is to be right where it is like 8 inches away if you have a zoom camera
bballkidx (author) says: Mar 23, 2007. 5:30 AM
If anyoone has been wondering how to make the sear i just posted it sorry for before
Dutchj says: Mar 17, 2007. 5:30 PM
Ehm, there is no instructions on the "sear" part. And there's no clear pictures of it too some I stuck.
bballkidx (author) says: Mar 13, 2007. 6:58 PM
smidge146, you should post the clip and where it attches to the gun theat would be great
smidge147 says: Mar 11, 2007. 3:33 PM
im gona add a magazine to it which loads through the bottom
fat_strat_cat says: Mar 4, 2007. 9:14 AM
if i built this gun i would try to use less peices so it still fired but didnt have the extra stuff
KILLERK says: Feb 28, 2007. 9:46 PM
i like the trigger system a ton good thinking!
zero0928 says: Feb 24, 2007. 8:32 PM
WOW amazing trigger system amazing gun just amazing!!
Danny says: Feb 18, 2007. 1:12 PM
this doesnt show up when u press recent. good job i clicked knex
oodalumps says: Feb 18, 2007. 10:51 AM
I think this is how I made my very first trigger, where it grabs the back of the firing pin. But you did a much better job on it than I did.
Mr.Chip says: Feb 17, 2007. 5:29 PM
