Introduction: Desktop Artillery Unit
This is my first original unit in my desktop artillery collection. It fires a white or green projectile about a metre and a half. its good for desktop battles. It uses minimal peices and it very easy to build.
This is my first instructable so yeah...there are bigger and better things coming. more artillery.
Step 1: Parts
these are the parts you will need, or they are the parts i used anyway.
3 light grey connectors
5 grey connectors ( i used 1 black one)
2 orange connectors
1 snowflake interlocking
1 semi circle interlocking
3 blue bars
2 grey/yellow
1 metallic green/red
1 white/grey
1 cog (optional)
rubber band
Step 2: Step 1
connect your interlocking parts.
Step 3: Step 2
add two blue connectors with light grey connectors on the ends, make this into a triangle by adding the grey/yellow bars
put red/green bar at diagonal for barrel.
Step 4: Step 3
create firing mechanism as shown.
Step 5: Step 4
make firing hammer by connecting a grey connecter to blue bar. then loop rubber band through the hole.
Step 6: Step 5
connect rubber band to orange connector, therefore attaching firing hammer.
Step 7: Optional Extras
well done, you have a new artillery unit.
some extras you can add with the peices are a brace for the barrel or a counter-weight at the back
also feel free to suggest any mods you may have.

good, but it needs longer range to be called artillery
