This Is My Knex Shell Ejection Gun.
It Uses The "TheDunkis" Mechanism For The Shell Ejection. Its A Pretty Simple Gun, However It Has A Basic Trigger. I Posted These Instructions 'Cause I Couldn't Find Any Clear Instructions And Because Of That I Took Me Some Time To Get The Mechanism Figured Out. It's Very Accurate ('Cause It Uses Those Shells).
Unfortunately You Have To Cut Two Pieces, I Don't Like That. But You Really Have To. Those Black Ball Sockets Look Similar To The Grey Connectors You Have To Cut, But They Won't Work.

RODS:
Green Rods: 25
White Rods: 9
Blue Rods: 7
Yellow Rods: 3
Red Rods: 1

I've already made another shell ejection gun (same mechanism) but a bigger one. But i'm not gonna post any instructions 'cause its a large gun. I'll post a slideshow and video soon (up to 2 weeks).
Greets!

Actually I was just talking about ordinary knex guns.

BTW: what did you use to cut the gray connector?
Reply 12 years ago on Introduction
'Cause you can't use "Black Ball Sockets" (there's a little difference between them): http://knex.com/product_image.php?imageid=70 These are little curved to hold the "Black Ball Joint" (http://knex.com/product_image.php?imageid=69) , the cut gray connectors aren't curved. Unfortunately there's no other way to get this working.
These cut gray connectors avoid the blue rods, when they are still in the shell, to eject. When you fire, the rod is off and the shell will eject 'cause the mag pusher pushes them up.
I hope this helped!

What are the brown tubes on the bullets?
Reply 12 years ago on Step 6
Those are the shells: 3 gray spacers connected with tape.
Have a look at step 6
