    Lightbulb Full Auto

    Details
    Full Auto
    Here is a full auto. It fires green rods. They only go about... a foot. The gun is mostly just to put an idea out there. Maybe one of you experts can figure out a way to make it stronger.

    Type: Automatic
    Weight: ~1000 grams
    Ammo Type: Green Rod
    Range: 0.39 meters
    Firing Interval: 1 second
    Mag Capacity: 10
    Mag Reload Time: 20 seconds








    1 - Gather Materials
    Connectors
    -10 white
    -5 blue
    -8 purple
    -22 yellow
    -20 green
    -5 red
    -2 orange
    -2 light grey
    -2 grey

    End Connectors
    -10 tan lock

    Rods
    -1 black
    -2 red
    -5 yellow
    -5 blue
    -10 white
    -20 green

    Miscellaneous
    -7 blue spacer
    -1 normal rubber band


    2 - Build the Base
    1. Put the big one on first
    2. Add a yellow rod with a tan clip on the end
    3. Add the motor.
    4. Add the smaller plate
    5. Attach tan clips to hold the motor on
    6. (Not pictured, you can kinda see it in picture 7) put 5 blue spacers on the yellow rod. Next add a tan clip and a white connector. Put 4 green rods on the white connector. Have them grouped by twos and separated by two spaces on each side.














    3 - Top Part
    Now we have to make the top section of the gun.

    1. Finished top section
    2. Make this first.
    3. Another view, showing the hands required. Only one is needed on the other side.
    4. This is the ram. I hot glued the gray connectors (not required) on because they kept sliding from the force of the rubber band.
    5. Now you should have this minus the red rod and the hopper.
    6. Make one of these. Attach it like it was in the previous picture.














    4 - Hopper
    Pretty simple hopper. It holds ten green rods.

    1. Finished hopper
    2. Make this
    3. Make this, the gray connectors have the tops cut off them.
    4. Snap it in like this.
    5. Make this
    6. Attach it on to the bottom section
    7. Connect it to the top part of the gun
    8. Put a rubber band around the ram and onto the front of the hopper.


















    5 - Connect the Two Parts
    Connect the top section to the base.

    1. First connection
    2. second connection
    3. Final connection

    this thing is cool but it only shoots 2 ft on a great shot.
    if you can't imagine it you can build it.
    ,but...
    if you can imagine it you cant build it.
    ha ha thats how I feel.

    But the power can easily be increased, which I will look into. It's such a simple yet ingenious design.
    If you can imagine it, you can build it!

    I think so! Most started off with something simple yet innovative.
    If you can imagine it, you can build it!

    92% of teens have moved on to rap. If you are part of the 8% that still listen to real music copy and paste this into your sig

    90% of all teens would cry if Myspace or Facebook were destroyed. If you are
    one of the 10% that would sit and laugh put this in your signature

    Thanks, Knex_Builder_Freak.

    nice. i saw the video on instructables and decided to make it when i saw it here. but, i dont have that motor (i have the double ferris wheel motor), so it didn't work as well. but i was going 2 order another motor off of knex.com anyway, so when it gets here, ill make this again.
