Powerful K'nex Gun

Intro: Powerful K'nex Gun

This is a powerful gun made of K'nex that shoots wire ammunition with a rubber band.

STEP 1: Materials

You will need K'nex pieces, duct tape, a rubber band, a flat piece of plastic, and a clothes pin or clip.

STEP 2: Frame

Build both these pieces. You will need 24 yellow, 16 silver, and 20 black.

STEP 3: Connection

To connect the two frames you will need 3 purples, 1 red, 8 silver rings, 8 light blue rings, and 2 blue clip pieces.

STEP 4: Handle

To build this you will need 4 yellows, 2 blacks, and 1 silver. Then wrap the handle with duct tape.

STEP 5: Support

This will add support to your handle. You will need 1 yellow, 1 grey, 1 white, and 1 purple. Then wrap with duct tape.

STEP 6: Track

This will let the wire ammunition glide easily as it is being fired. Any flat piece of plastic will work, but I used an old hot wheels track. Simply tape this on top of the gun.

STEP 7: Clip

This acts as a trigger for the gun. Simply tape this to the top of the gun.

STEP 8: Rubber Bands

Tape to each end of the red K'nex piece.

STEP 9: Ammunition

Bend wire into this shape with needle-nose pliers.

STEP 10: Shoot

To shoot simply hook wire onto rubber band, pull it back and clip it in the clip, then aim and shoot. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT YOU DO WITH THIS GUN.

Comments

[The Red Book of Westmarch]

I would suggest that you use a lot more K'NEX, and a lot less tape.

[Joe Mamaa]

Truly a step forward in the advancement of K'nex innovation

[altair ibn la ahad]

Ha

[sandroknexmaster]

This uses pretty much tape, try to make it stronger with knex parts.

[hunter999]

Nice, although you should try and make a knex gun from just knex, with the exception of a rubber band

[Carrot187]

Isn't this just a big sling shot?
