This is the ultimate guide to K'nex Guns. In mikeasaurus's words:

"There's very basic K'NEX guns, and some very advanced ones; but I don't see

any documentation explaining how they work. You pro gun-builders are on another

level and maybe take these complexities for granted. I'd love to see a detailed Step-

by-Step that covers triggers, magazines, reloading, firing mechanism, bi/tripods,

elastic types, and all other manner of accessories."

This is that guide. I hope that you'll find what you're looking for here, and once

new discoveries are made, or if I forget something, I will add more.

Step 1: Firing Pin Guns: Part One: The Basics

This is Part One of Firing Pin Guns. This is, by far, the most popular mechanism

of K'nexers. I feel like this and part two are going to be some of the most important

parts to this guide, so read carefully. I hope you find what you need here and

good luck!

1. Single Shots: A single shot, in K'nex, is the most basic pin gun. The single shot

pictured here is KILLERK's original K'nex pistol (http://www.instructables.com/id/K-

NEX-GUN/): a staple throughout the K'nex gun community.

How it works: A firing pin is pulled forward by rubber bands. It requires you, the

user, to pull it back until is stuck behind a trigger, which is usually pulled by more

rubber bands in some fashion. You then load a bullet into the barrel; if your single

shot is exceptionally well built, it will have a bullet lock, which keeps the bullet in the

barrel.

(/id/The-Guide-To-Knex-Guns/)

Page 4: The Guide to K'Nex Guns

Once the trigger is pulled, the firing pin is unstuck, and the firing pin flies forward

and rams into the bullet. The bullet, because physics tells it to, will fly out of the

barrel and hit something, hopefully, at what you were aiming for.

2. Magazines: A K'nex gun with a magazine of some kind is one of the most built

K'nex guns on Instructables. Shown here (the second picture; the numbers match

up with the order of pictures) is KILLERK's basic magazined pistol

(http://www.instructables.com/id/Eye-candy/) (It is the last gun in the slideshow).

As we will learn later, that magazine is a clip-on, removable magazine.

How it works: Remember the single shot concept? You should read through that

again. Did you? Ok, good. Now, a magazine is being added. So now, when you

pull the pin back, it will slide past a bullet in a magazine, and the bullet will be

pushed into the chamber by rubber bands. Now, continue to pull it back past the

trigger, and now you've got yourself a shot to fire. Just keep pulling the pin back,

and bullets will keep being pushed into the magazine, giving you a much faster

reload time than a single shot.

Step 2: Firing Pin Guns: Part Two: Beyond the Basics

These are, in my opinion, the more advanced methods of loading, and should have

their own separate step.

1. Tubular Magazines: Tubular Magazines are a relatively new concept to the

community, but I feel like they should be explained first, as they are a bit more

basic. Shown here is The Red Book of Westermarch's RTMP (Red's Tubular

(http://cdn.instructables.com/FNR/X71S/HJ1WZ1EV/FNRX71SHJ1WZ1EV.LARGE.jpg)

(http://cdn.instructables.com/F4X/VUMB/HJ1WXCZ8/F4XVUMBHJ1WXCZ8.LARGE.jpg)

Page 5: The Guide to K'Nex Guns

Magazine Pistol) (http://www.instructables.com/id/RTMP-Reds-Tubular-Magazine-

Pistol/). It is one of the very few tubular magazined guns. You should build one. :3

How it works: Like regular magazines, a rubber banded piece pushes the bullet into

the chamber. This time, though, it is pushed sideways across the gun, and is

pushed into the barrel by a ramp of some kind.

2. Bolt Actions: These are one of the two most used war weapons along with turrets

because they both effectively chamber a winngle shot into a barrel of some kind.

Shown here is Raikou-San's Raikou's True Bolt-Action AST Rifle

(http://www.instructables.com/id/Raikous-True-Bolt-Action-AST-Rifle/).

How it works: There are two pins sticking out the back of a bolt action, but they're

all attached to the bolt. One of them, when pulled back, slides past a bullet which is

pushed back into the chamber, via a ramp. The other is the ram; it is pulled back

behind the trigger. This successfully gives you a way to have the power of a single

shot with the ease of use of a magazine.

3. Turrets: Turrets are probably the most widely used weapons in war. Shown here

is my TR8: CoNfUsIoN (http://www.instructables.com/id/CoNfUsIoN-A-Knex-Turret-

Rifle/).

How it works: Think of a turret like a revolver, but on the front of a gun. When you

insert anything into one of the multiple barrels on a turret, a little white rod should

pop out the back. The turret will be banded so it will spin a circle, making each

white peg catch on one side of the gun as it turns. Once you pull the trigger and

fire, the white rod will be pushed forwards and nothing will be left to stop it from

turning, so it does. Another barrel should be ready for firing!

You can always go back to single shots on the previous page if you don't

understand the basic pin mechanism.

Step 3: Single Shot Slingshots

(http://cdn.instructables.com/FJ8/DX9X/HHS9EI6M/FJ8DX9XHHS9EI6M.LARGE.jpg)

(http://cdn.instructables.com/FSS/CAT6/HJ1X2NU2/FSSCAT6HJ1X2NU2.LARGE.jpg)

Page 6: The Guide to K'Nex Guns

There are two types of Single Shot Slingshots: a ratchet system, or the SRV2

slingshot system.

1. Ratchet System: A ratchet system is a favorite for a sniper, as the mechs are

easy to build and use, and they can get really nice ranges. Shown here is Didexo's

Crossbow (http://www.instructables.com/id/Knex-Crossbow-18/). (It's just a ratchet

system with a bow.)

How it works: Rubber bands are fixed to the end of a barrel in some fashion, and

you pull them back onto a gear that is locked into place by a trigger: for reference,

gear triggers, hinge triggers, and sliding triggers are almost always used to block

the cog; they are the same triggers as the ones used in pin guns. You load a bullet

onto the rails and pull the trigger; the rubber bands will fly forward, hitting the

projectile across extreme distances.

2. SRV2: The SRV2 (http://www.instructables.com/id/SR_V2/) mech at this point is

pretty much as far as you will get a K'nex gun to fire. Power hungry noobs and

snipers: this is the weapon for you. It is, at this point, a single shot, and probably

always will be, but hey, it's a sniper. Pictured here is the SRV2 in the flesh by

KILLERK. There are instructions by Lowney for all that are interested.

How it works: Like its little brother Ratchet, the SRV2 mech incorporates rubber

bands being tied to the front end, but this time, a piece in the back clamps onto a

specially made bullet which is tugged forward by the bands after you pull them

back. Pull the trigger, the clamp releases, and the bullet flies forward.

Step 4: Rail Guns

(http://cdn.instructables.com/F7M/K66I/HJ1X2NU5/F7MK66IHJ1X2NU5.LARGE.jpg)

Page 7: The Guide to K'Nex Guns

1. How Railguns Work: Rail Guns are powered by a little piece that is clamped on

and travels along a rail. A trigger blocks the piece, and once the trigger is pulled,

the bullet - wait for it- FLIES FORWARD! For reference, gear triggers, hinge

triggers, and sliding triggers are almost always used to block the cog; they are the

same triggers as the ones used in pin guns. The top and end piece of these types

of triggers will jame into the cog or eight prong K'nex connector.

2. Turrets and Mags: Turrets and mags are pretty much all that's put on rail guns.

Oodammo mags are a favorite, like knexguy's Ramrail Oodammo Rifle

(http://www.instructables.com/id/The-RamRail-Oodammo-Rifle/) (pictured). That's

pretty much all that needs to be said.

Step 5: Ammunition Types

(http://cdn.instructables.com/F2Z/KVVO/HJ1X2NVO/F2ZKVVOHJ1X2NVO.LARGE.jpg)

(http://cdn.instructables.com/FIR/YEKJ/HHS9E5WW/FIRYEKJHHS9E5WW.LARGE.jpg)

Page 8: The Guide to K'Nex Guns

1. Oodammo: An all time favorite pistol ammo. There are numerous types of

Oodammo pistols: I have pictured three: My D2OP

(http://www.instructables.com/id/The-D2OP-Dark-Owls-Oodammo-Pistol/),

KILLERK's DunKillMeZak (http://www.instructables.com/id/TheDunKILLMeZak/), ,

and The Jamalam's Oodammo pistol (http://www.instructables.com/id/TJOS-1/). It

is a red connector with a red connector attached to a white peg. It's the most

powerful known pure K'nex ammunition.

2. Finammo (http://www.instructables.com/community/how-to-make-fin-ammo/):

Just a red rod with taped fins. This is the most powerful ammo for K'nex guns ever.

(Note: It's not all Pure K'nex like Oodammo; it uses tape.) Pictured here is

KILLERK's original Finammo design.

3. Rod Ammo: Just a rod that is shot out of a gun. I don't think a picture is needed.

4. Connector Ammo: Ammo made from, typically, green rods and connectors; grey

one slot clips are used in many TDS type sidearms. Shown here is the TDS2

(http://www.instructables.com/id/TDS2/) by The Dunkis.

5. Special Ammo: There are other types of ammo like Canadammo by

I_am_Canadian. It is a blue rod that attaches to the middle prong of a red

connector. You can make your own type of special ammo, too, if you ever feel like

it. :3

Step 6: Types of Triggers

(http://cdn.instructables.com/F6D/QFO7/HJ1X2NW9/F6DQFO7HJ1X2NW9.LARGE.jpg)

(http://cdn.instructables.com/FFZ/A55N/HJ1X2NWE/FFZA55NHJ1X2NWE.LARGE.jpg)

(http://cdn.instructables.com/F9T/LVFH/HJ1X2NXO/F9TLVFHHJ1X2NXO.LARGE.jpg)

(http://cdn.instructables.com/FDL/EBB1/HJ1X2NWX/FDLEBB1HJ1X2NWX.LARGE.jpg)

Page 9: The Guide to K'Nex Guns

1. Hinge Trigger: It is as it sounds: a trigger that swings down and out of the way of

the firing pin, via hinges. Shown here is the Hinge Trigger on KILLERK's new,

updated TR8 (http://www.instructables.com/id/TR8/).

2. Gear Trigger: A two piece trigger where one piece, when pulled, swing another

piece downward, freeing the firing pin. Pictured here are two pictures of the

internals from Beanieostrich's Project Deviance

(http://www.instructables.com/id/Knex-Pistol-Project-Deviance-How-to-Build/): one

in the upward position and one in the downward position.

3. Sliding Trigger: A sliding trigger is simply a gear trigger with a piece that slides

into it instead of you pushing it. It is considered one of the best trigger types by a

considerable amount of people. Shown here is DutchWarLord's Desert Eagle

(http://www.instructables.com/id/knex-desert-eagle-2/) Sliding Trigger mechanism.

4. Roundabout Trigger: Although this trigger hasn't really been given a name, it's

used in a considerable number of pistols. It operates on a set of three internal

hinges. Shown here is Didexo's Newest Gun

(http://www.instructables.com/id/Newest-Gun/); if you look closely, you can see the

hinges in the internals.

5. Disclaimer: I realize that I haven't covered all of the triggers here, but I'd say

about ninety-five percent of the time, one of these triggers will be on any given gun.

(http://cdn.instructables.com/FZA/Q8QD/HJ1X2NYY/FZAQ8QDHJ1X2NYY.LARGE.jpg)

Page 10: The Guide to K'Nex Guns

Step 7: Reloading

A. Oodammo Pistols

1. Removable Mags: Quite simply, a mag that can be removed to put on another

fresh round of Oodammo. Example: The Jamalam's Oodammo Pistol

(http://www.instructables.com/id/TJOS-1/). (Pictured.)

2. Flip Mags: A mag that can be tilted manually, so a string of Oodammo can be set

in the magazine. An example of this would be my D2OP

(http://www.instructables.com/id/The-D2OP-Dark-Owls-Oodammo-Pistol/).

3. Sliding Mags: Killer-SafeCracker has a monopoly on this type of reloading. His

TBAP v3 (http://www.instructables.com/id/TBAP-V3-Concept-Pistol-Thunder-Bolt-

Assault-Pist/) is, as far as I know, the only design for a sliding mag out there. It is

pictured here.

B. Regular Magazines

1. Friction Lock Mags: Friction lock mags are basic removable magazines held in

by friction. Shown here is TheAwesomestDude's Random Assault Rifle

(http://cdn.instructables.com/FVR/790G/HJ1X2O1R/FVR790GHJ1X2O1R.LARGE.jpg)

(http://cdn.instructables.com/FEP/3HM8/HJ1X2O27/FEP3HM8HJ1X2O27.LARGE.jpg)

(http://cdn.instructables.com/F5W/C82V/HJ1X2O1Y/F5WC82VHJ1X2O1Y.LARGE.jpg)

(http://cdn.instructables.com/F8N/X6UU/HJ1X2O3K/F8NX6UUHJ1X2O3K.LARGE.jpg)

(http://cdn.instructables.com/FGV/UVB3/HJ1X2O3R/FGVUVB3HJ1X2O3R.LARGE.jpg)

(http://cdn.instructables.com/FO5/PO1C/HJ1X2O2J/FO5PO1CHJ1X2O2J.LARGE.jpg)

Page 11: The Guide to K'Nex Guns

(http://www.instructables.com/id/Random-Assault-Rifle/); it uses a friction lock

magazine.

2. Clip-on Mags: Mags that simply clip on. Shown here is KILLERK's basic

magazined pistol (http://www.instructables.com/id/Eye-candy/) (It is the last one in

the slideshow). It's also the same one that is shown in the first step.

C. Turrets

1. Regular Turret Reload: You have to spin the turret until it has gone at least one

full rotation and then place a rod in the barrel next to the firing pin. Now all that's

left is to fill the remaining barrels. Pictured here is my CoNfUsIoN

(http://www.instructables.com/id/CoNfUsIoN-A-Knex-Turret-Rifle/) rifle.

2. The Ratchet System: This is easier, because you just spin a small wheel (or

eight prong connector) in the front that spins the turret for you. You have to spin

the wheel until it has gone at least one full rotation, and then place a rod in the

barrel next to the firing pin. Now all that's left is to fill the remaining barrels. Shown

here is KILLERK's updated turret rifle's (http://www.instructables.com/id/TR8/)

ratchet system.

Step 8: Accessories

1. Bolts: Bolts can be used to simply pull the firing pin back like in The Red Book of

Westermarch's Rate of Fire (http://www.instructables.com/id/KNEX-Gun-Rate-of-

Fire/). (Pictured)

2. Bi-pods: a stand that holds and supports a rifle into a specified position.

3. Sights: An aiming device that usually consists of two pieces near the front and

back.

4. Scopes: Just a long tube of K'nex you stare down to help aim.

That's it! The Ultimate Guide to K'nex Guns!

Nice!

TheAwesomestDude (/member/TheAwesomestDude/)

I would like to thank you for using but gun but

mine is not friction locked look back into my

instructible and you will see a green rodsticks into the mag (a new design )

DarkOwlProductions (/member/DarkOwlProductions/) (author) TheAwesomestDude

You're welcome. I think the green rid sticking into the mag creates friction,

locking it in, though; it's just a more complex friction lock. Please correct me if

I'm wrong, and I can change it.

TheAwesomestDude (/member/TheAwesomestDude/) DarkOwlProductions

No it does not create friction it locks

into a hole in the mag

DarkOwlProductions (/member/DarkOwlProductions/) (author) TheAwesomestDude

I know! I'll put yours in as a special type of removable mag and then get

another example for friction lock. Thanks! I'll get around to it eventually. :3

Obviously quite a while. I kind of forgot about it; sorry. I'll have to force myself to do it

eventually.

TheAwesomestDude (/member/TheAwesomestDude/) DarkOwlProductions

Oh ok

Blue Mullet 2 (/member/Blue+Mullet+2/) TheAwesomestDude

Which is why I wouldn't use other

people's pictures of guns in a guide.

;D

Blue Mullet 2 (/member/Blue+Mullet+2/) DarkOwlProductions

DarkOwlProductions (/member/DarkOwlProductions/) (author) Blue Mullet 2

Wow, when I was pondering what your

reaction to that meme would be, I

didn't think that you'd just say: '...;' did I

say or do something to offend you? :3

Blue Mullet 2 (/member/Blue+Mullet+2/) DarkOwlProductions

Nope. Not at all. Lol

DarkOwlProductions (/member/DarkOwlProductions/) (author) Blue Mullet 2

Ok, that's good. :D When I reply to

people, sometimes I'm just looking

for an excuse to place a meme.

Blackashkid (/member/Blackashkid/)

Cool

DarkOwlProductions (/member/DarkOwlProductions/) (author) Blackashkid

Thanks; I'm glad you like it. :P

depotdevoid (/member/depotdevoid/)

Wow, what a great instructable! As an outsider to the K'nex community on

Instructables, it's really great to see such a comprehensive (and comprehensible)explanation of the basic and not-so-basics of K'nex guns.

DarkOwlProductions (/member/DarkOwlProductions/) (author) depotdevoid

Thank you! It's great to know that

you've learned from this guide; that's

what it is here for. Is there anythingthat you didn't understand, or think

should be changed in this guide? I'm

curious. :P

depotdevoid (/member/depotdevoid/) DarkOwlProductions

Nah, it was pretty clear! Without any

K'nex on hand to play around withand test stuff out, I think you did a

great job.

DarkOwlProductions (/member/DarkOwlProductions/) (author) depotdevoid

Thanks! :D

love the taste of cinnamon toast

crunch? I doubt it.
