I'm assuming you mean the ones on the handle; no, they are not needed, but they provide a much more comfortable grip.

It'd probably be good for the community, the instructions were over at KI, but that site has long since disappeared. So, it's not a bad thought. Did some digging and found the pic you based this one off of. Its a good representation.The gun I'm working on I'm going to call "The Rival". Basically its got the pin draw of a tr-8, but accepts clips from TheDunkis' oodassault series, thus saving time on the reload with nearly as much power as the tr-8. It's pretty much almost done, just want to change the slider mechanism up before I post it. Here's a link to a youtube vid that is pretty close to the edition of it I have built now:

Very cool. Never had that idea, that's smart. Might have to try my hand at a fly-wheel based gun.

Very Cool! It's a very interesting mech and one I like. I've used a similar type mech for a merry-go-round, but mounted from the top. It didn't end up working, but was a good lesson nonetheless.

Very nice! I really like the folding stock

Refreshing to see this quality of build, not many 'good' or 'skilled' guns are posted anymore. Very nice. Might have to build this in a couple days. I've got something nice coming too

Not bad, I like this one, although, wow, that's a lot of modified pieces.

I'm sure that this is probably out of the norm for this to be posted here, but I was wanting some feedback on how I could make a better instructable. I really tried super hard to make this one really nice, but let me know what you guys think! Thank you in advance! :)https://www.instructables.com/id/MARR/

Oh yeah. Took longer than I really wanted it to, was kind of driving me crazy lol.

Yeah, it is kind of hard to lower your building standards once you have reached a certain point lol. Sorry to hear about the website crashing, I'm sure that was disheartening. Glad you decided to do a blog though. I went all the way back on it and saw your instructions for a block trigger style gun, at least I think that's what it was called back then. That was ages ago, but its where I got my start too. As for me sticking around, I'm not so sure on how likely that is. I'm sure ill still be tinkering around with k'nex forever, but the last gun I built I kept around for 2 years before deciding to get off my lazy butt and post it. Dunno if you saw my MARR, but that was the one I had built for two years. Terrible shooting, but it looked nice and was really customizeable. Pretty excited abo...

Pretty excited about the oodassault though, maybe I'll make my own version and possibly make it into a rifle so it can have a pin guide? idk.Made a video on the oodassault because I didn't want to type a lot, but I kinda already passed that point lol. One thing I didn't mention in the video is that I think it is really piece efficient, not much is there that isn't essential to the gun.https://youtu.be/1Qc3qqitg8Q

So within about 4 hours I have a working oodassault rifle with pin guide. The mag currently doesn’t lock back like your pistol, but I came up with a half assed solution that will work for now. It’s good enough for me to post and do a video on, but it’s too late for me to make a video today. I’ll make one tomorrow for you to see

Dang. Nice seeing you around. Been a long time since I built an oodassault. Might build this in a couple days

Got through to the website, I really like your approach to teaching new builders different techniques and stuff. I really like it. I remember back a couple years ago in forums you wanted to start a separate website but obviously I missed the announcement. Instructables really screwed up forums in my opinion by taking separate catagories out, that might be why I missed it, not sure.

The link to the blog isn't currently working. Not sure if that's on my end or not, but idk

Strangly enough this didn't appear in my feed, actually had to click on your profile. Looks nice though, I dig

That's nice man, glad to see you're still around :)

Looks good

Not bad, maybe put a small gear if you have one on the charging handle, might look good that way. I've shot an uzi before, its a fun gun.

I will be once the instructable is to my liking, should be a couple more days, a week at the most. Until then, https://youtu.be/AtWDX2-Dqew .

Not bad, I like shoot-able guns tho :P. A lot harder and more complex to make, not that anything's wrong with this though.

Drum mag is originally from BlackShadow12, modded by Red for his AA12, then modded by me for the MARR.

Not bad, not bad, I like the extending stock. That m16 isn't even me trying to make an m16 lol, it just kinda happened. I got some other nice attachments coming with that gun as well. I remember his m4, it was nice.

Also, check out the gun I'm working on right now, what do you think? Not originally an m16/m4 variant but after adding certain attachments it kinda looks like one. That's the same gun as the one in the comments of my breach loader I posted the other day. I should have instructions and a full ible posted sometime within the next two weeks.

That's the M16 one. I think I'm going to call it the MARR, Modular Assault Rifle. Extra R just because MARR looks cooler than MAR lol.

Nice dude. Only thing I have to say is to post this as an instructable, you'll get more exposure, not many people get on forums anymore because it is hard to navigate. I like this version, very cool.

Interesting, you already made an mp7 lol. I had no idea XD. I dig it. Dude I never come to forums anymore because it is no longer in categories like instructables are. It makes it super tough to find recent K'nex forum topics. Tbh, I've probably missed a lot of things because it's hard to follow forums now a days.

Interesting. Just from my recollection I think Red made a dope one, but after looking, he didn't explicitly make an mp7. However, he made the MSMC V.2, that's probably the closest thing you will find on instructables right now. At the moment I don't have enough pieces or time to create a whole new gun right now. The gun + attachments I am currently working on consumes a ton of pieces and is really all I want to spend my effort on at the moment, trying to make a dope gun + instructions for the plastics contest. Super hyped about that. After that, who knows, I might keep knexing, I might not, I haven't truly built a new gun in two years.

Right, that's what I think is cool!

Gotcha

Yeah man, though I haven’t been on in forever, some of my last comments date back to a year ago, and before those comments I hadn’t been on for a year before that. Life’s moved on and I haven’t had as much time to myself. While I was still in middle school or high school I had tons of time to play with them, not so much anymore. I have a knex truck ible and knex gun ible coming out writhin the next month too. Granted I’ve had them both built for about 2 years but I still got the skills to build lol.

Great for rapid fire haha! That's cool that it triggers multiple paths simultaneously.

Really cool that each arm has a different drop off point.

This is neat, pardon my ignorance on this, but why have a counterweight? What exactly does that do for this?

Nice

This is really cool, I love how it incorporates the rollercoaster aspect

That's awesome! I love how violent this is lol.

Found some pictures of an unposted gun sitting in a folder on my computer, I’d recommend that gun over this anyday, but even still, the gun I just posted has a ton of room for improvement in most all areas except trigger and firing system. It’s a solid gun, it shoots nice, unfortunately no step by step instructions though, but it should be buildable with the pictures and image notes I put up.

Dude that's awesome, love the enginuity

I hope you guys like this! This 'ible is not the one I hinted at when I posted a really non-descript 'ible last year, I'll give you guys another teaser photo, hopefully I will have it completed and have instructions for it by the time the plastics contest is over

Sick man, love it!

That's a hell of an idea, dunno about how practical or easy that would be, I dig the idea though

Thanks man! Sorry I'm two years late

Thanks man! Sorry I'm two years late

Sorry man, it's long gone, but if you want, I might re-make and post an ible of this one or the other shell ejector on my profile.

If you still want an ible for this I'll make one. Sorry I never got back to you my man.

I know I'm nine months late, but thanks!

Apparently I never thanked you four years ago, so hopefully this thanks will do, Thanks!

Oops, three years late, thanks man!

Haha, yeah, that was me 4 years ago lol. Thanks. I honestly wouldn’t recommend building this, from my recollection it wasn’t all that good or as good as I made it sound. I don’t get on much or mess with knex much anymore but I have one gun I’m still tinkering around with, I posted a preview of it about a year ago, never any actual pictures of it though. I’ve re-designed its internals about 5 times and I’m not really happy with any of them. Who knows, I might post it one of these days. Also currently have a truck + trailer built out of knex, might post that, idk.

Not bad, I'd recommend a different rail style, but that's more personal preference than anything.

Wow, haven't seen the likes of building this good in a while, nice job. Your building style reminds me somewhat of the red book of westmarch's.

Nice! I used to be a big Halo guy when I was younger, looks awesome man!

Nice

Wow, I'm speechless, great work!

Nah, no instructions, I posted internals and you should be able to build it off of the pictures above. I do have another internal pic which I will add. Good luck! If you need assistance, just post a picture and I'll try to help you out.

I know this thing is super ugly, but God I love that grip, it was fun to mount it haha

Just realized in pic 7 you can see my next project of knex, not sure what I want to chamber it in. I'm thinking another shell ejector just because of the low friction, maybe a turret rifle though. I'm also thinking of doing another pump action but don't get your hopes up, I don't build very often.

Thanks!

I can post similar internals, I have a gun built right now that's similar to this one, gimme a couple of days.

It's in the pictures

Did you watch the video?

Go right ahead. I don't mind. However I do have an updated version on my forum post, you can find it on my profile.

*knex

Eh, haven't messed with my knee for weeks, I still build off and on though. I'm also TheAwesomestDude if you want to see other things I've built.

Thanks bro

Yeah, you can leave the outer layers out.

Thanks!

Ah, well keep trying

Thanks! The bmk is a weapon blue mullet made. Not sure if it's still on instructables, if bot it will be on his YouTube.
