K'nex gun

I suck at taking pics.

But I did build this awesome K'nex gun, really just a glorified slingshot with a mechanical release. It kicks ass. Ammo are sharpened grey rods with a metal tip inserted and fins (which are necessary to stabilize the damn things, already had one fly back and hit me in the side of the head, not cool at all)

"do any of your creations have the ability to cause physical harm?"

- If they hit you in the eye, yes. I don't have many K'nex or I would make something with serious power. Currently, the mobility is controlled by rubber bands…

Cool.

My brother made a K'nex gun a long time, used other K`nex rods for ammo and capable of making dents in the wall with a resoundingly loud cracking noise.

He used a 20/30+ K'nex deep chamber though for the rods to shoot out of and had the biggest rubber band he could find locked in there some kind of way to launch them, preventing them from flying backwards and giving it a fairly stable flight path.

That's me.

You have no idea how obsessed with K'nex I was.
