WOW!!
That is so cool! I think the rifle looks better without the extended • barrel.

I've been trying to make a gun that uses the missile launcher from the • new
castle. never-mind that idea, I'll just copy what you've built :-)

Again,COOL!

been a while since i've posted, but i'm back. recently i've been • building
just small stuff, nothing worth posting to lugnet. I did finish a three • foot
long pirate ship, but my camera screwed up and i lost all of the • pictures
i
took!!! oh well. I remeber quite a while back, (june) we got into a
discussion about lego pellet guns that can fire. well since then, i've • been
trying to conquer this and make a gun the can shoot at least three • metres
without glue and only with lego. here are the results, i'm pretty proud • of
both of them as they are the result of long hours of frustration and
contemplation. well, here they are!!
this page is just a temporary page, i was just dying to get it up. I'll • be
doing anew one with new photosand maybe a movie of both the guns firing • too,
we'll see. I'm very proud of these.

they fire each fire
about four metres( sometimes 5-6). one is a blunder-bust rifle and the • other
is a hand gun.

The firing mechanism is spring loaded and it fires a technic
axle. they shoot technic axles of any size although the 1x3 works the • best.

the rifle shoots via the wild west building exploding system using • shock
absorbers. pull the trigger and the shock compresses against the bottom • of
the barrel, then you hit down on the 1x8 tile and it pushes the shock • up
into the barrel which hits the bullet sending it flying.

I wanted both guns before i made them to look somewhat convincing and • the
blunt ended blunderbust did not look convincing, so i added a removable
machine gun front to it to make look like somesort of military gun.

the scope on top works but only to a distance of two metres.

both of the guns are front loading mind you as I couldn't figure out a • way
to make a loading mechanism.

the hand gun is works on the same premice, except it uses  a pull-back
push-in hammer thing on the back. this gun takes way longer to load and • is
somewhat less powerful than the rifle.

to load and fire this gun, you pull back on the hammer thing that is in • the
back unatil it is as far as it can go. than you open up the top and • using
a
one by whatever length piece you push down on the shock absorber and • push
in
the hammer again as far as it will go. then you put the pin in the side • to
hold the hammer, load thegun and pull the trigger!

basically, it works the same as the rifle, except the hammer compresses • the
shock absorber and the trigger pushes up on the shock which expands • into
the
barrel hitting the bullet.

both guns are probaly smaller than normal guns, but they are sized to • fit
me
and i'm thirteen so...

please please let me know what you think!!!!!!!!!! i spent alot of time
working on these as well as figuring out how to make them fire so • please!
feedback!!!!

thanx

Geordan,
