Hi Guys,
This Is My Knex Gun. It Uses The Rubber Band Mechanism BUT It DOES Fire AMMO! A Gun Using The Rubber Band Mechanism Only Fires Rubber Bands. Here Is Some Information:
A Short Video:

PRO'S:
- The Mech Itself. You Can Shoot Many Bullets Without Reloading, 'Cause You "Pre-Load" The Gun. You Load Each Rubberband And Afterwards You Can Shoot Them Without Reloading After Each Shot.
- The Magazine Is Easily Removable.
- You Can Actually Fire As Many Times As You Want, Still I Recommend Loading Only 12 Rubber Bands.
- You Can Fire Really Fast.
CONS:
WITHOUT UPDATE (=LAST STEP) :- Sometimes Something Jams.Usually It's A Rubber
Band.
WITH UPDATE (=LAST STEP): -Doesn't Jam Any More/At All. So No More Cons.
