Introduction: S4 Brand New Type of Bolt Action

About: I used to build K'nex guns. I'd like to think I've grown to be quite good at it, however, I've lost most of my interest in K'nex over my first couple of years in High School, but I do occasionally still come o…
hey guys! i am so glad to finally have this gun finished. this was one of the hardest builds i have faced so far, and i am really proud of myself. actually, to be more specific, the build itself wasn't hard, the word i was looking for was design. it was an immensely hard gun to design, but since you guys have the privilege to have it already posted (soon, don't worry), you don't have to struggle with it. so enough about that, lets get into the gun, shall we?
before i even thought of the concept for this gun as a whole, i was thinking about two of my best guns, both having a major flaw in them. the first, the REMPAR. this was an awesome pump action with a removable magazine i made about a year ago, and, while my S1 and S2 both beat it in strength, it was my most accurate weapon ever, and it was my fastest rof weapon ever. the major flaw? SIZE! it was massive! it was extremely long and wide, because of the nature of the pump mechanism i chose to go with. it worked amazingly well, but the size was unbearable. how did i fix that in this gun? i made it with only one side of the mechanism, sparing the necessity for yellow rods, and i also made a charging handle instead of a pump, and that also saves on length, because the charging handle can overlap onto the handle. the REMPAR also wasn't bolt action, which could have made it much stronger, but that's too late... the second, the S1. the S1 was another awesome weapon i made a couple months ago. it was a bullpup bolt action assault rifle that was built with mainly strength in mind. at the end, it was strong, but later my S2 will have been stronger. the major flaw in it? the flaw that comes with all bolt actions, especially with bullpup bolt actions, where the bolt is in the stock - it's uncomfortable and slow to load. all bolt actions (if you're aiming and not hip-firing) are slow to load, because you have to let go of the foregrip, get all the way back to the bolt, load, and get all the way back front, and that wastes too much time in a war (fractions of a second, but that's precious valuable time). the REMPAR mechanism counters that problem. also, in bullpup bolt actions (and in bullpups in general, but more on bolt actions), the bolt really goes all the way back to your shoulder, and that is really uncomfortable and time consuming. how did i solve that in this gun? i made a front bolt that also acts as a foregrip, so you never have to let go of it and you can fire very fast.
so what is this gun anyway? well, it's a bullpup bolt action assault rifle, with a removable blue rod magazine, and a very comfortable, very good, very fast REMPAR style reloading mech, that really changes the way you build the gun completely. if you really think about it, the concept behind this gun really is in between the REMPAR and S1, taking the best qualities of both and combining them into one better gun. i hope you guys enjoy this gun as much as i do, for a fast, comfortable bullpup bolt action is something that was missing from our community. some stats, shall we?
roughly 55~70 feet range
very accurate in 3/4 shots, some have a weird curve to them that i can't quite understand what's causing it
extremely high rate of fire, about 2 rounds per second (for comparison, my REMPAR was 3RPS)
very comfortable
looks good
6 layers (i think this is one of it's kind for a pin gun)
works very well
awesome
yes, this gun is the definition of the word awesome, so it is a literal stat for it. deal with it. bitch. (DISCLAIMER: <<< joke).

here is a video of the fixed, finalized, perfected version:
