semi automatic knex pistol

semi automatic knex pistol
this is it! the first ever true trigger semi automatic bottom loading magazine pistol.i was playing around with different mechanisims of how to make a semi auto like having the trigger pull back the ram but this did not work so i moved on to a multiple rubberband system and how a rbg could be adapted and this is what i found...

Copy and paste the picture into some picture editting program to see it.

I built it, it was kind of inaccurate, slow reload, but the handle (when changed around a tiny bit) was SO FREAKING COMFY :D I'm going to have to change it around to just be an rbg and use it for the kick-butt handle. Overall...4* :)

it takes way to long to reload you need to make that better

I modded this a bit, so its like a table-top cannon. When you press down on the top, it fires and then it springs back up again. Semi auto of course. If I post it, I'll give you 77% credit.

It is up, but only as a slideshow as my brother dis-mantled it.

why did he take it apart?

He was probably a jerk.

WTF if u post a knex gun people expect it to shoot knexs
Aug 24, 2009. 12:34 PMPieMaster777 says:
srry thought it was rbg cant see why though...used to be a noob...
Feb 11, 2008. 8:18 AMdsman195276 says:
he probely is a NOOB that did not look through the instructable and just thought it was a RBG.

i've experimented with having a full auto knex using the rbg style mechanism but the rubber bands all shoot before the bullets can be reloaded by the magazine. How do i slow the mechanism down that releases the rubberbands?

I made something similar...

BUT!!!! before you say it is better, this one is made first so it is better. Very good work. 4.5 stars!!!
Apr 6, 2009. 6:18 PMthe_builder says:
You have to post that gun. It is amazing!
Apr 7, 2009. 7:21 AMMiles Tails Prower says:
Thank you!!! But I'm VERY lazy, I mostly don't post instructions...
Apr 8, 2009. 8:11 AMthe_builder says:
Wait, I did notice that you do post videos of instructions, so would you be willing to do that? I you just do want to, thats fine. It doesn't make a difference to me!
Apr 8, 2009. 9:06 AMMiles Tails Prower says:
Yup, I'll try my best for you.
Apr 7, 2009. 8:14 PMthe_builder says:
Awwwwwww... Darn! =)

Jan 17, 2009. 7:58 AMWafflicious says:
Most likely too powerful on the mag.
Jan 9, 2009. 1:20 PMGIVECASH says:

Jan 8, 2009. 2:03 PMGIVECASH says:
I have the gun built, but I don't understand where to put the green bullets.
Jan 3, 2009. 5:38 AMknexsuperbuilderfreak says:
