Blade Firing K'nex Knife

Intro: Blade Firing K'nex Knife

This instructable is on how to make a knife which can fire its blade. Useful when you are down to a knife when your opponent still has a gun, you can lull them into a false sense of security muahahaha! It can also fire small pellets.

I am not going to say 'it is my first instructable so be nice' because i hate it when people say that, so feel free to say so if it is rubbish. However, i do not want people saying bad things about k'nex in general.

Enjoy,

Give it a real blade and "BOOM" it's a completely illegal weapon that can get you arrested, potentially the first ever legitimate knex weapon. background info, any projectile weapon not classified as a gun or A.O.W. (any other weapon), both of which use gunpowder is completely illegal to own or fire.

dude the knifegun is seriously EPIC! as for the super knex rifle thatguy was talking complete BS about, he is full of BS cuz my dads an engineer and he said that it would be impossible for a knex gun to do that without being reduced to rubble. any way im going to try and improve on this knife cuz i have too much time and nothin to do.
