knex u.s. military xm8 rifle

this is my first knex gun that ive added to instructables. it is fairly simple to make and if you want insructions plz comment. it has a mag that holds 15 blue rods, its bolt action and it has a well built structure, the handle and the stock are pretty durable( i pistol whip my bro with it pretty hard and it doesnt break), the top part i just added to make it stronger and look better, it does have the sighting and if you wanted to you could add a scope instead of the sight. overal it is a very strong and accurate gun.

good for a first. here are a few tips. Try to make your next gun more compact and not see through. also print out a picture of the real gun so you can copy the body accurately.

What the heck is this? The stock is terrible and the entire design in general is poor. The only good part (the mag system) was copied. This doesn't look like an XM8.
