About: This profile is purely to express my interests in building (not only Knex but Lego too). Check out some of my reviews, projects or instructables which I hope you may either build or get inspiration from! Happy…
Hiya!
Well after I posted the M.S.A V1 I got some feedback on it saying things like it didn't fire well or it didn't look great, so for all you guys that though the first one was bad, I present to you V2!
After a lot of reconstruction, I decided to scrap the old mag design and replace it with a much more size efficient oodammo mech, with I think turned out pretty well. The range was increased to about 35ft-45ft (depending on the bands used) and the whole gun felt so much stronger and more comfortable thanks to the body panels added to make it a five layer gun and they also meant that there were less white rods sticking out all over the place!
(All the pros/cons with a * next to them are knew in this update)
PROS:
-Stronger*
-Better iron sights*
-Oodammo*
-compact
-reliable
-true trigger
-handguard from ram rod* (see pics to know what I mean)
-mag ram has a lock so it won't come out*
-5 layers thick*
-faster reload*
-low piece count
-uses no modded pieces!
-longish ram pull*
CONS:
-Trigger is kinda close to the handle so it's not best suited to people with big hands
-the body panels stick out* (rarely)
Don't forget to rate, comment and follow me for more!!!!
Happy building!

Step 2: The Handle
Not too easy as the are some parts in this that are hard to connect but follow the annotations and you can't go wrong!
Step 3: The Barrel and Body
Not hard.
Step 4: Trigger Gus Uard
Not very hard so you don't need to be a genius to make this, lol
Step 5: The Mag & Front Sight
This is probably the biggest part of the gun so follow the instructions carefully!
Step 6: The Trigger
Really, really easy!
Step 7: Putting Together
WOO!!! now it's the fun part! This uses all the bits you've made so far...
Step 8: The Body Panels (optional)
These give it better looks, comfort and make the whole gun stronger but you don't have to make them but I recommend them!
Step 9: Rubber Bands....
just what makes the entire thing work...
Step 10: Loading and Firing!
YAYZ!! you finished! so give yourself a pat on the back and let's fire this thing!
Enjoy!
