Introduction: K'nex Imperial Mortar/heavy Blaster

a powerful single shot knex shotgun/rifle. can shoot 20 metres at best. i got the idea from ownedintheface's imperial shotgun but thought its trigger was a bit weak. it also has an ammo holder in the stock.

piece count(unfinished):
yellow connecters-39
blue snowflakes-37ish(variable)
white snowflakes-12
orange connecters-9
grey single connecters-5
wheels(no tyres)-2
red 1/4 connecters-16
biege connecters-10

and could someone please help me with explosive ammo i'm having real trouble with it

Step 5: The Forgotten Art of Loading & the Ancient Art of Firing

pull the rubber bans over the wheel in front of the white rod then insert ammo into barrel as far back as possible. aim and pull the trigger. YAYFUL. if you placed the rubber bands righ the wheel should spin back up, ready to be loaded again.
