Poles is actually Rods.
Put your finger on this bit and fire is actually a trigger

Drive pole is actually a ram rod.

How far does this shoot?
I have a feeling this will shatter my K'nex rods-
Fast-moving, plastic K'nex rod + dense, solid glass (?) marble = shattered rod?

Cool idea though. Could you post a video?

[geodez]

only if the glass is stuck in position, or the firing-pin has so many rubber-bands on it the whole gun would buckle, trust me this works.

[Bartboy]

not at all!

[knexman]

no can't post video no cammera and have not broke a rod yet after 500+ shoots and i live in australia and we measure in meaters not feet so i have no idear on how har it shoots and all my good rubber bands have gone missing and have not gone and got more yet

[grevious]

go australia :D

[Bartboy]

Generally, aussies can measure in both, and its not that hard.

[geodez]

aussies?

[Bartboy]

Aussies= Australians.

1 metre = 3 feet

And it's spelled metre, not meter ( in Canada)

[MarsCrystalMan]

 3 feet=1 yard

1 meter is three inches longer than a yard

[geodez]

i know about the metre, i also knew about the aussies, i just know people who think calling australians "aussies" is impolite.

[Bartboy]

That's odd, two of my friends moved from Australia two years ago, and they call themselves aussies....

[grevious]

generally i can measure in both metres and feet.

[Whaleman]

well metric or non metric doesnt matter, google can transfer feet to meters or vice versa, it can even do hogs heads(actual unit of measure, weird, eh?) to cups!

[will-am-i]

a good gun dosent shoot far tho 3 1/2 stars. tip: use two rubber bands

[knexman]

[darkfiredevil]

Hi i'm new and my English is not so good so. My question is what is marble?

[Danny]

a marble is a hard stone that they form into a ball and it is shiny and very smooth

[Bartboy]

Maybe if you are non english like him and me... OMG how could you not have thought about that. This is the internet it is open for every one that has access to it, and he can atleast type normally.

[Bartboy]

looks like room for my marble gun hopper, then its auto load

[pls]

i like the idea. and looks like room for a true trigger?

[The Jamalam]

it is a true trigger if you look at it, put 2 oranges on the yellow rod and make a handle, and there is a true trigger

[The Jamalam]

clever trigger

[knexman]

yay just finished making my next instrutable it is a semi auto that holds about 40 blue poles now for the bad news it has a block trigger i have started work on the next version of the gun and i am 99% sure i can put the same trigger that is on this gun on it key words for it are knex gun. if you have any questions just ask

[go123]

[Mr Tenacious]

u must be jokin, more like 40 ft, 4000 ft is like................................. Impossible

[mrbox]

u must be jokin, more like 40 ft, 4000 ft is like................................. Impossible He didnt specify if it was a knex gun or a gun... if it is a knex gun then it probably shoots like a bb 400 ft but if its a real gun it would probably be a gun that uses an air compresser to launch a bb 4000ft

[seszarahia]

no like 0.4 ft

[cstrike pwner]

No, probably 4.0 ft. LOL

[Metal4God]
