Its all cool, do you know how to increase the strength of the shot?

No, I couldn't build this because of the bad images, but i did a mod on 2 other guns that makes them shoot faster and further. One of them is rapid fire, the other is single fire.

Original Single Fire: http://www.instructables.com/id/k_nex-rubberband-repeat-gun/?

My Rapid Fire Mod:

Please make at least one of them (I suggest the rapid fire one) because you gave me the idea to make instructables for them. Post your pics if you can when you finish one. Thanks.

P.S. The pics are good because I have a 5.0 megapixel camera and not some low-res webcam or a $10 mini digital camera.

I made this and its really awesome although its kind of confusing how to load and fire it. On a scale from 1 - 10, 10 being the best, I'd rate it a 9.5!

Great Gun. I would suggest adding support to the long grey rods. Overall +1.
Dec 3, 2007. 3:23 PMknex hater hater says:
looks like a rubber deagle to me,u should re-name it,and then replace the grey rods with more yellow pieces,and make a better handle,it would looke like one.
