K'NEX Halo 3 Spartan Laser

First and for most I want to give credit to I_am_Canadian, whose cannons not only are some of the most terrifying things I have ever seen made from Knex but also inspired this monster.

Here are some of the specks:

weight: 4.4 lbs. (almost 2 kg)
range: with ten rubber bands around 35-40 feet (10 to 12 meters)
*I only have shot this with 10 bands but it is built to handle 20, I just don't have that many right now

The orientation of the bow and trigger block components means that the standard ammo for the V5 cannon won't work for this weapon. Here's how to make the new ammo.

How to load this monster.

1. pull the rubber bands back to here, make sure they go where they are in the picture
2. slide the ammo back and lock it into place like in the cannons, try to get the red piece as close to the end of the yellow rod as you can it will make firing easier
3. move the bands onto the round where they are in the picture

Then pull the trigger (outside please).
