Shortage of beams is probably the single biggest barrier to progress in my projects, so I may have to buy a few packs of 35 beams. 70 (10 of each kind) would probably be enough, because that would just about double the number of large beams I have.DroidFreakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17871798832496208783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984391797905513585.post-49564025286753296942012-01-09T17:59:41.540-08:002012-01-09T17:59:41.540-08:00i got 170 beams from legoeducation (thanks for tel...i got 170 beams from legoeducation (thanks for telling me about that site!!!!) while 170 beams are great, you still need the connectors, pins, axles, and other parts to fully utilize the beams. you probably know what i mean...qlaxx22https://www.blogger.com/profile/04589696737392518884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984391797905513585.post-38386785164414131502012-01-09T05:11:37.480-08:002012-01-09T05:11:37.480-08:00I loaded 9 or 10 units of beams into mine, though ...I loaded 9 or 10 units of beams into mine, though maybe it could hold a bit more. I got parts from my bionicle collection (which was pretty big), from NXT 2.0 and from the Lego Education Resource set. Maybe a few of my Lego Star Wars parts leaked in there too. 170 is a lot of beams. How did you get all of those? 170 extra beams probably explains how you had enough to build two magazines and still have ammo to shoot. =)DroidFreakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17871798832496208783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984391797905513585.post-32925697006208794542012-01-08T12:25:42.275-08:002012-01-08T12:25:42.275-08:00how long was your magazine? i got almost all of my...how long was your magazine? i got almost all of my parts from various bionicle sets. i got some parts from the mindstorms nxt 2.0, and some extra beams (170 to be precise)from legoeducation.com. where do you get your parts? from your videos, i have determined that you were a bionicle fan too, so that would account for some of them, but the rest?qlaxx22https://www.blogger.com/profile/04589696737392518884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984391797905513585.post-8422278240752167952012-01-08T11:52:50.089-08:002012-01-08T11:52:50.089-08:00@qlaxx22: I saw your trigger.

Since I intended my shotgun to have no other trigger, I made mine bigger to make it easier to use. The Hurricane mark VI was actually taken apart a while ago (remember Flash Flood?), but I often have two or three projects built at once. I did build Cheetank while the Pump-Action Lego Rifle was built. None of my projects use as many parts as your shotgun. How did you come up with enough parts to build a gun and two large magazines? My mini shotgun is actually 35 units long, but that's because it has a large trigger and a short barrel added on.DroidFreakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17871798832496208783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984391797905513585.post-61622960630870643212012-01-08T05:53:04.638-08:002012-01-08T05:53:04.638-08:00i never realized how "mini" it actually ...i never realized how "mini" it actually was until i saw it on your blog...<br />my shotgun magazine was 23m long, which allowed for a total of 19m of beam space.qlaxx22https://www.blogger.com/profile/04589696737392518884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984391797905513585.post-43238533210993835552012-01-08T05:49:10.643-08:002012-01-08T05:49:10.643-08:00it seems that you have improved on the loading sys...it seems that you have improved on the loading system. like yours, mine did not have a proper trigger. instead, it had a compact version of what you had on the bottom. i'm not sure it you were able to see it. question for you: how many projects do you have made at one time? it as if you had the sphere eater, hurricane mark VI, and the pump action Lego rifle all made at the same time. that seems like a lot of pieces...qlaxx22https://www.blogger.com/profile/04589696737392518884noreply@blogger.com
