Knex Crossbow Pistol

Alright ladies and gentlemen, today I have something special for you: a crossbow pistol. It's pretty cool, in my opinion, but i'll let you guys be the judge of that. Now, for some pros and cons of the gun

Pros
-Relatively Small
-Sturdy
-Easy to use
-Doesn't use a whole lot of pieces

Cons
-Range isn't anything special, tends to shoot about 20 feet (note, this is just a guess. I haven't actually measured how far it shoots)
-Requires one cut piece (might not be a problem for some, but i'm just throwing it out there.)

Anyways, time for the piece count. This should be accurate, but I can't promise it is

Connectors:
Yellow Connectors- 25
White Connectors- 9
Green Connectors- 7
Grey Connectors- 5
Orange Connectors- 11
Red Connectors- 9
Purple Connectors- 8
Blue 3D Connectors- 4

Rods:
Green- 62
White- 26
Blue- 9
Grey/ Black- 1

Miscellaneous:
Y Clips- 12
Cut rods (3 connector length)- 2
Tan Clips- 4
Rubber bands- 4+

Here, you build the rail and the crossbow arm. Shouldn't be hard at all, feel free to ask questions in the comment if you need help though.

The name says it all. Again, should be too hard but feel free to ask any questions you might have.

Wooo, the title says it all. Again, it shouldn't be too hard to make.

Good job, you made it this far! Now, time for the fun part: putting everything you already made together so it will actually be able to work. Probably the hardest part of the whole thing, but I don't think it will be that hard.

Now that you have yourself a crossbow that is ready to go, I'm sure you're itching to fire it. Just follow these simple steps and you will learn how to do it! Once you do, go enjoy your new crossbow. Wreak havoc, shoot at your siblings, shoot some cans or whatever, I don't care what you do with it. That choice is yours to make.
