The Shrapnel Spreader K.T.B (Knex Time Bomb)

My knex creations 009.jpg
Check my Sipriani Rifle too!

This is the first ever knex time bomb on the site!
It has a range of 3.5 ft.
The timer is about 22 seconds with two 64# rubberbands tied together.

Pros:
-strong bottom
-block trigger system
-pretty good range
-can keep up to 23 white rods in the spreader
-uses a firing pin

Cons:
-spreader isn't strongly attached to the bottom

For short:
It's a recommandable time bomb.

If you have any questions or problems please contact me on my orangeboard.

this part is required since it holds the white rods that need to be shot.

Trigger Track

This part is for letting the trigger go straight so it won't pull the trigger in a weird direction making the trigger shoot away.
