K'NEX Highpower Rifle
This has a lot more power then a standard block trigger. It gets that power by having track the bullet travel's on instead of the normal way of having a lot of connector's on a rod.

The connectors on a rod bend more easily and that decreases the power ALOT!, Because if you have the barrel bending 1/100 of a degree the barrel will not line up and the bullet will hit every single little bump. This causes for a dramatic loss of power.

By utilizing track in the right way you can give a gun power because the track basically just guides the bullet and descent give it a lot of friction. Because of that the bullet is able to get alot of power and range(You have to take in to account, the mass of the projective). Also the track calls for different and cooler bullet types.

Pros:
Great Power
Good Grip
Realistic Trigger System
The Gun Itself Holds 6 Of My Deer Slugs
The Gun Looks Cool

Grammarized By I Like It

Step 1: The Barrel

The biggest and most important part of the gun, it also uses the most pieces. If you can't build the barrel don't even bother building the attachments.

It is a little changed since the original, but it is still has one basic design.


Pieces:
yellow connectors 62
red connectors 2
white connectors 4
orange connectors 18
white rods 48
green rods 113

Total: 247



Good Luck

pic 2: build all these
pic 3: connect them toghther to make this.
pic 4. make 18 of these.
pic 5: build the track.
pic 6: connect them all together.

Step 2: Barrel Part 2

These are reinforcements of the barrel. Without them the barrel would still bend from side to side. This also makes a track on the outside that the deer slug will ride on. This also creates a bottom that almost all the new features connect on.



Pieces:
orange connectors 22
yellow connectors 15
blue rods 9
red rods 2
light grey connectors 4
white rods 3
green rods 46
white connectors 10
grey connectors 20
blue spacers 2

Total: 133



Follow Pictures

pic 2: make these parts.
pic 3: connect them and make the parts under it.
pic 1: connect the parts you just made on to the white connectors.

Step 3: Bayonet

Made to look like a knife. It is the best I could do that would fit and work in the spot it was put in.



pieces:
red rods 2
green rods 2
green connectors 4

total 8



Just make from the picture not hard.

Step 4: Front Grip

Made for maximum comfort. Good grip. I kinda stole it from the scar 11.01 but I am sure that the_burrito_master wont care! ;)



Pieces:
yellow connectors 10
red connectors 8
dark grey connectors 8
red rods 2

total: 28



pic 1: make
pic 2: make
pic 3: connect pic 2 and pic 3.

Step 5: Ammo Holder

Ammo holder: One of the things on here is not seen anywere else(correct me if i am wrong, also it is different then a mag). Holds six of my deer slugs. This is not required but reccommeded.



pieces:
yellow connectors 45
black hands 22
orange connectors 18
dark grey connectors 18
light grey connectors 12
green rods 30
blue rods 12
grey rods 2
red rods 2

total: 161



pic 1: make this
pic 2: make six of these
pic 3: connect pic 1 and 2

Step 6: Mechanism

This makes the gun the way it is. Most inportant part there is. It works by having the hammer and the trigger progressively turn the cog wheel. Do not get this wrong!!!!



pieces:
white connectors 4
orange connectors 4
dark grey connectors 7
green rods 19
white rods 10
red connectors 4
yellow connectors 3
blue 3d connectors 2(is reccomended for comfort but can be substuted for white connectors)
tan locks 2
blue rods 5

total: 60



pic 2: make
pic 3: make
pic 4: combine pic 2 and 3
pic 5: make
pic 6: make
pic 7: add pic 5 and 6 on to pics 2 and 3

Step 7: Handle

The part inside of the handle is really important. Do not, I repeat do not replace the green connector with a different connector, it will make the trigger hard to pull. A white rod on the trigger rests on the green connector in the cocked position. This places the other white rod on the end of the cog wheel making the trigger easy to pull.



pieces:
yellow connectors: 6
white rods 10
green rods 6
green connector 1
red connector 1

total: 24



pic 1: make
pic 2: add on to pic 1
pic 3: add on to pic 2

Step 8: Butt

Butt: Made for max comfort. Not hard to make.

It is 3 layers thick. Make the layers and then connect them in the places shown with white rods.



pieces:
red connectors 9
green connectors 6
yellow connectors 3
yellow rods 9
blue connectors 6
white rods 7
red rods 3
green rods 4

total: 43


Step 9: Connecting the Parts!

Connect the parts using the pictures.

Step 10: Adding the Rubberbands

Add the rubberbands in the spots shown.

Step 11: How to Load

Pull rubber bands back on to cog wheel. Pull ammo off of the ammo holder. Pull back the hammer and pull trigger. I am not liable for anything you brake or harm using this gun. Have Fun. don't for get to rate!
