Introduction: Lego A2 Powerful Mini Crossbow
This is the sequel to my smaller A1 crossbow. This crossbow is ALOT more powerful, because it can shoot 30+ feet (depending on rbs), can dent cardboard (keep in mind, this is lego, not sharpened knex), and is very accurate. The only downside is that this crossbow is larger than the A1, but it is still fairly small. It also has a new type of sight on it, which is kind of like the Ak47 type of sight. It makes it alot more accurate. The crossbow also has a new type of trigger, a system which uses 2 gears to fire. The crossbow fires 2x2 bricks, with a flat piece on top.

Just pointing this out but... None of these are really crossbows. =\. The definition of a crossbow is: A weapon consisting of a bow fixed crosswise on a wooden stock, with grooves on the stock to direct the projectile. These look like crossbows, but you don't really have a bow on there. Bow - a weapon for shooting arrows, composed of a curved piece of resilient wood with a taut cord to propel the arrow. So my point is... These are crossbow shaped slingshots. Not crossbows. Just sayin'.

When you install the gears you are pushing one gear into another forward causing the top gear to go back. What did I do wrong

why not adapt this to shoot pencils instead of lego blocks?
Just a little carving with the pencil eraser and you got an arrow.

this gun is awesome but the gear where you put the rubberband is to small so i modified it by adding a bigger gear and moving stuff because i use 4 rubber bands and it goes like 5 feet!
Reply 14 years ago on Introduction
i used that gear because it is the largest I have, maybe use thicker rubber bands, cause it went like 30 feet with mine.
Reply 14 years ago on Introduction
oh wait, its not the largest I have, im not actually sure why I used that size gear...
