Introduction: Epidemic 5.56 Instructions

About: I used to build with K'nex. I have many really good memories of what the K'nex building community on here used to be. Now I don't build and my dog is dead. Killerk's original K'nex gun is the best ever made, …

Pull pin back. Pull trigger. Let go of handle. Pull back the pin. Pull trigger. Repeat until magazine is empty. Gets old pretty fast, huh? With my clever little charging handle, you can hold the handle with one hand and pump the handle back with great speed and fire. ROF is insane compared to most simple pin guns. Nothing like blasting though a entire magazine in a few seconds. With this the removable magazine, this is a great close quarter combat weapon. It is more accurate then a rod shooter, but that does come at the cost of the lower availability of rod ammo. So, lets get to the pros and cons. PLEASE COMMENT AND SUBSCRIBE.

Just a FYI, this is NOT a bolt action.

Pros:

Looks sick, as some would say.

60 foot range.

Great ROF.

Charging handle. (A lot like Zaks, so credit to him, I guess.)

Reliable.

Accurate.

Fun to shoot.

Good mag capacity.

Removable mag that locks into the gun.

Nice handle. (Thanks Dunkis!)

Sturdy. (Sorta)

Not many blue rods sticking out.

Smooth trigger.

Slick action.

Interesting sights.

Cons:

Small possibility of the rounds not feeding if the mag pusher is banded.

Nothing really new.

Handle may be a bit small for some folks.

Dry fire with more then one band is not a good idea.
