Introduction: Oblivitus' Beast Pistol

About: I paint, write music, and used to build knex guns. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Studio Art. - updated 5/7/2014
Description: Featuring a new 4 finger firing pull for more power, and 6 round high caliber (gray rod) hopper with ammo securing and a breach around the center of the gun to quickly load in ammo, the Beast Pistol can be loaded, cocked, and fired all while running and yet cuts through cardboard boxes and fires 50 feet, packing a greater punch than the Ultra Pistol before it.

Approximate Size
Length: 16 inches (barrel)
Height: 5 inches (trigger area)
Width: 2 inches (barrel)

Stats
Wielded: 2 hands
Range: 50 feet
Damage: penetrates cardboard
Max Accuracy: 4 square inch target from 15 feet
Ammo: large gray rods
Capacity: 6 rounds (low ammo in the hopper makes it harder to fire)
Fires: 1 round per trigger pull
Rate Of Fire: rear pin action (cock, fire)

3: Put the firing rod in the back end of the barrel and attach elastics and add tape as noted.

To fire, load ammo into the hopper where the cut gray connector is and pull back the firing pin with 4 fingers - 2 on each side.
