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.

Weight: ~1000 grams
Ammo Type: Green Rod
Range: 0.39 meters

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.

But the power can easily be increased, which I will look into. It's such a simple yet ingenious design.

Do we have the next Oodalumps on our hands?

[crestind]

I think so! Most started off with something simple yet innovative.

i built this thing and my little 2 year old brother loved it if i didnt let him load it he would scream at me

[Danny]

Awsome! so simple and effective, and i'm glad you posted it here first! :P

[koolkidd]

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.

Genius! This is the kind of gun I like.

[Danny]

Maybe you could mod it then to make it a bit more powerfull?
