I made one once. It fired rubber bands and worked pretty well. This other one I made did not work so well. Both have been scrapped.

I made some K'nex swords, back in the day. Unfortunately, I fenced too realistically with my brother, causing them to fall apart.

No idea what eventually happened to all that K'nex. I think we sold it at a tag sale.

Try going to www.instructables.com and look up MBAR. It is an awesome K'nex rifle. I made it. It is semi-automatic and shoots K'nex pieces. Here's a link to it: Link

You can build thing on your computer using K'nex using a K'nex version of MLCAD. It makes 3D models.

Me and my brothers also used to fight with swords... Until we created the K'nex gun and then fought with K'nex guns... Until I made a very strong, semi-auto gun and we weren't allowed to make guns. Now I make even stronger guns but I still can't fight against my brothers using them.


Bah. Get an airsoft gun. Waaay better, in terms of looks and general feel.

Compare yours to mine;

And yes, that is also a Colt .45 beneath it.

By the way, you need to add something to your poll. It's biased

You should add; "No, I know what K'nex is and I knew you could make guns, I just never bothered". Or simply "No" would suffice.

I actually built spaceships from books. You should see what my vision for the USSS Discovery from 2001 A Space Odyssey looked like.

Yes they may be better looking and stronger than K'nex guns (usually), but in K'nex you control what you get more (and you can get lots of them without paying too much.
