Introduction: How to Make a Knex HC-12(Hand Cannon)

This is my first Knex gun that I posted and it is a hand cannon. The name came from how many times I re modified it. It’s a single shot pistol that shoots what I call heavy ammo. But it’s basically a red rod with a purple connector on the end. I recently modified it to shoot white rods. You essentially could add a magazine but I never really under stand the physics and structure behind it. But if you do it instead just shoots white rods. Also the pieces I use are a different color so I am saying the color of the pieces I have.
