MAR-4

068.JPG
This is my MAR-4 (Masterdude Assault Rifle version 4). Upon request of fellow members of the K'nexing community here, I have made it using a new firing mechanism (firing pin/ramrod type). It fires my standard ammo, however if you are doing single shot then it will shoot blue rods, and others if you load down the barrel.

Features:
-Adjustable sight
-True-trigger
-Trigger guard
-Cheek rest
-Removable magazine
-Vertical grip
-Good power
-Can be breech loaded

Placing the rubberband as shown in the trigger area (image 3), load the magazine (image 2) with ammo (image 1). Take the magazine and insert it properly into the magazine feed. To cock it pull the charging handle back as shown in images 3 and 4. To load using the side breech, lift the breech up to open up the breech, and then insert the ammo. Then close it by pulling the breech down (images5-7). Then you shoot by pulling the trigger to fire, and pull the charging handle to reload. To aim you can use the sight (image 8). You can adjust it for better accuracy. Proper attachment of optional gear is shown in image 9.
