K'nex Double Barrel Shotgun: M-37 Falcon

I've been playing a fair bit of Mass Effect and the M-37 Falcon... lots of fun.  So, naturally, I made one.  I made it a shotgun rather than a grenade launcher because, let's face it, K'nex grenades are utterly useless.  It's still fun as hell to shoot.  As you can probably tell from the picture, I made a generic but very effective turret design, and threw pieces at it until it looked sort of like a Falcon.  No, it's not perfect, but it's a good middle ground between aesthetics and function.  It's nearly a metre long and weighs 3.5kg ( about 8 lbs).

Hey, I've bought the parts for this gun just by looking at your photos and would like the instructions. If you could be so kind as to take more photos of the inside of the gun and the trigger mechanism? I want to build the gun for myself.

dont listen to the haters this is the best looking gun ive ever seen. I dont know about performance because I havent seen it yet but it doesnt look too shabby performance wise

[Baxblitrix]

One of the best looking guns

another thing i have to ask, i've seen this turret for knex guns everywhere, where does this blpody thing come from? i've always wanted to build it into my own guns but could never find it

[knexguy]

Not sure, try searching for the TR18?

[Ben_the_Builder]

this.. is incredible <3 what game/movie does this gun come from?

[Ben_the_Builder]

Do I dare to say post?
Yes, I dare. POST
Or post some internal pictures.

holy crap... amazing

[Johnhall44]

Errrrrr........ Epic

[dr. richtofen]

I was wondering, does the size of the turret barrel decrease the range? As the the red rod must move completely through a full row of grey connectors, and a bullet lock. Does that create enough friction to have a noticable effect on the range/speed of the bullet?
Anyways, it looks epic, and very intimidating!

[The Red Book of Westmarch]

That is flipping epic!

[PotatoCoffee]

Does this gun make anyone else sad?

[Knex.X]

Waddledaddledoo! Now I'm flabbergasted. You sir, have too much K'nex, time and creativity.
Maybe you can add some more details such as the range, ammo and pros and cons.

Apart from that, OUTSTANDING

[knexguy]

None of that detail is particularly definite, but I guess I'll indulge you.

Range: Maybe 60 Feet. It's basically a SwagBoss mechanism that you can't use
fins with.

Ammo: Anything the same size or shorter than a red rod, as can clearly be seen.

Pros: It's big, fires twice per cock, decent range and power, and makes a
damn good melee weapon if you get bored of shooting.

Cons: Some people would call it cumbersome and impractical, but those
people tend to be boring and lifeless. It is what it is designed to be;
huge.

[PotatoCoffee]

Come on, this is fake!

[knexguy]

How so? It'd probably be more effort to fake it than to just make the damn thing in the first place.
