Introduction: The Knex Snapper

This small yet powerful gun for its size is small enough to fit into your pocket! It uses minimal pieces and provides a nice *snap* sound when fired. This is my first instructable ever so please try to keep the comments on the nice side. This gun shoots about 30ft. Feel free to mod it and add things but please give me credit if you make an instructable!
