Introduction: TBAP V3. Concept Pistol (Thunder Bolt Assault Pistol)

About: Im Killer~SafeCracker, I started using Instructables in 2009. I mainly post in the Knex world, but I venture out sometimes. Check out all my instructables, you wont be disappointed! I live for music and I pla…

Hey guys and girls,
I know I just posted version two of this gun, but I had some new concepts for an Oodammo pistol and I wanted to try them out.  I wanted to try to make a no-friction ram lock.  If successful, this would put no friction on the ram when it is being shot, but still successfully keep the pin in the gun when being pulled back. This was achieved by using mini knex. Yes, mini knex. They finally have played a good role in knex guns!  The small red piece that connects regular knex to micro knex is used.  The small end rides in the grove on the ram and catches the ridge on the ram. It is placed in a way so the lock adds no pressure.

The other new thing on this gun is the mag. I'm not sure if anyone will like it because we tend to be set in our ways. But the mag slides down, giving you room to fill the mag. It also uses a rod as a mag pusher and typical bullet lock to hold the mag pusher. Now you can modify it to use removable mags, but they really aren't that practical in war. One of the advantages of this mag is that it wont fire two bullets at once. The reason this typically happens is that the rod the bullets ride on is too short. That's a hard problem to fix seeing that knex only have so many connection points.  But if the mag slides up and down, you can make the gap between the rod and the barrel smaller.

These are the two new concepts.  I want to know what everybody thinks. It only takes a few seconds to comment.
Thanks,

Picture 6: Make this
Picture 7&8&9: this is the mag. I didn't want to take it apart. You can figure it out.
Picture 10: slide it onto the rods
Picture 11: get the spacers
Picture 12: add them to the rods
Picture 13: connect it to the rest of the mag.
Picture 14: add the mag to the rest of the gun.

Step 6: Bands and Loading


Picture 1: Make the ram and get these.
Picture 2: add wheels
Picture 3: insert ram

To load pull the mag pusher down until it locks. Slide the mag down and load it with oodammo.  Push it back up and release the mag pusher. 

To fire pull the ram back until the trigger blocks it and pull the trigger.
