Hello every one, this is my M-16 A1 carbine knex assault rifle. Please bear with me, this is my first Instructable and I will try to be thorough. I ran out of the cool metalic pieces so I will make the Instructable with the classic colors, now lets talk about the gun. I was very impressed with the cocking time of this gun, it is remarkably smooth, fast, and reliable. The gun is rather comfortable and is quite duable. The magazine has a capacity of 6 rounds and 7 rounds max but they fall out that way. It rarily jams and (again I say) is quite reliable, it isn't the best gun but is cool and has a range of 40 feet and is decent power. The sight is easy to use and over all very accuate. It also includes a fake todaly useless grenade launcher. It shoots the red (metalic green) rods and has a true trigger!!! Please paste any comments or questions. Check out my user picture, scary, isn't he.
