Introduction: Knex Rubberband Repeater That Uses Gears
finally, i have made a rubberband repeater that uses GEARS! it has a massive rubber band capacity on the gear. it also has a decent range.
Step 1: Frame
this is the frame. make it correct, or FACE THE CONSEQUENCE of it exploding on you. naw, i kid.
Step 2: Handle
easy, right?
Step 3: Gears\trigger
the main part
Step 4: Assembly
wow, that was fast
Step 5: Supports
helps support the rubberbands. kinda bad pics sorry
Step 6: Ah, the Trigger
the trigger goes on the 45 degree angle on the snowflake. make sure that the green rod in the back of the trigger is one space apart and the one in front is 2 spaces apart. attach the rubber bands on the trigger anywhere you please, i dont care.
Step 7: Loading and Firing
load the rubberbands on the 2 yellow connectors and put it anywhere on the gear. press the trigger and it should click and move up one space. keep pressing the trigger until it fires.

do you have to have two gears on it?

you can use the ones with prongs on them,if your shear the prongs off then it works just like ones with out prongs.

Very good idea it functions without error. But you may want to build a better handle and if you make the barrel longer it will shoot farther. VERY GOOD!

This beats my gear RBG. I couldn't think of any way to advance a red gear 1 tooth at a time, but you did it. I do suggest making the barrel longer though. Mine is about 2 times longer, which gets you a lot more range.

I built it, and it's a shame it's so unreliable. The tension of the rubberbands will never be the same on all of them, some some will fly of on different angles then others, which makes it shoot either 0, 1, or 2 rubberbands per trigger pull. I could have to do with my improvised red gear, but I don't think so.

mine to, some even shoot backwards.but mine also has an improvised red gear ,so maybe that is the prob.

I only have one big gear, but I tried made a version that used two little gears. Didn't work, the rubberbands all flew off at one time. :\

holy crap!!! i tried to mod the gun by making it longer... and i got a bit carried away i swapped the 4 white rods on the barrel for grey rods and when i loaded it up with rubber bands, the hole thing just blew up!!! i have welts and dents in my wall to prove it!! other then that i think its a great gun, i like how its semi auto

yeah, gotta use a series of connectors for the barrel, i learned that too. though i didn't get dents in my walls x)
Reply 13 years ago on Introduction
