Not a rectangle review+mods
This is a review of oodalumps's "not a rectangle" with bakenbitz's stock. One hasn't been done yet so I will do one now.
Body:
Stock: 9/10 Bakenbitz's stock is strong, but the individual walls are still somewhat flimsy. Nothing blue rods can't remedy though.
Handle: 8/10 Comfortable and sturdy but the trigger guard kinda takes away from it in my opinion.
Barrel: 8/10 Innovative and sturdy, but extremely hard to build. My hands didn't hurt too bad though.
looks: 8/10. Looks simple, but still looks great IMO
Performance:
Range: 10/10 160 feet flat with 6 #64's.
Power: 10/10 There's a few boxes that no knex gun has shot through before, this gun shot all the way through. There was even a box with another box behind it, it shot all the way through BOTH of them, fins and everything
Accuracy: 10/10 I made a custom ironsight for it (very accurate) and my friend shot clean through the center of a cheez-it from 20 feet. I'm serious, straight through the tiny black hole in the middle.
ROF: 5/10. It's a single-shot, so you have to manually reload it. Also the fact that you have to pull back a bunch of bands at once for the best reload times slows you down somewhat.
Innovation: 9/10 The concept of a balljoint at the front taking the impact of the pin instead of the back of the gun is a great concept, but I hate that that's all there is to it.
Final word: I was very impressed with the performance of the gun. It's the most powerful gun I have ever built. I recommend it to anyone looking for a single shot.
Final score: 9/10
Mods:
Custom ironsight (mine)
Trigger guard mod

hey just an idea that i did. i always had a problem with my ball socket breaking and crap like that. maybe i just built it wrong or sometin but wat ev. so what i did was i took a flat 2x1 lego and a flat 2x1 smooth top lego and stuck em together and put that in place of the ball socket. it rattles around a bit more but works just as good as the ball socket and now i dont have to wory about the ball socket breaking.

do you know why my balljoint in the front of the gun keeps shattering?cuz its already broken 2 and it only has 4 #64s
Reply 11 years ago
Actually mine's sort of broken too. It's still usable and I can even snap rods on it, and thats with 6 #64's.
Reply 11 years ago
The only thing that broke on mine was the actual clip the rest is fine.

But mine shattered into 3 or 4 pieces.

is it just supposed to be laying flat or are you supposed to put it at an angle.
Reply 11 years ago

Ahaha... haha... heh... hmm... I saw this when it was posted on KI, and this would be the first k'nex gun that's actually scary... I think I'll give it a go, but first I wanna know, how hard is the trigger to pull with full power on it?
Reply 11 years ago
Not too hard at all. It slides down real easily.
Reply 11 years ago
Really easy.

Take a picture of that cheez-it. I dont believe you.BTW im in the middle of building the knexsayer for the 3rd time any mods you have or recomend
Reply 11 years ago
It was at camp, so I couldn't take any pics because I had no tech with me.
Tape that orange connector that connects the pin guide to the stock.
Reply 11 years ago
Tape? Tape is for nubs. I superglued mine :D I took the ksayer apart like 6 months ago, but those parts are STILL together :P
Reply 11 years ago
That's why I don't glue it.
Reply 11 years ago
Yeah last time i built it super glued that it lasted 5 minutes after letting it dry for 30 minutes. BTW tape FTW

Reply 11 years ago
I like it.

Good, glad you built it. I need to go back and follow my own advice: Use white connectors to hook rubberbands on like yourself. But I'll put at least two. I don't want anything breaking off and smacking me in the face.... again.
Reply 11 years ago
what are you talking about?
Reply 11 years ago
What part in particular? The first part? I'm just rambling. I told SN31 to use white connectors instead of gold's.
Reply 11 years ago
Oh ok.
Reply 11 years ago
Much better.
