You may recall the bizarre back-mounted K’nex gattling gun from all the way back in September 2008; K’nex builders obviously have a secret fetish for homemade weaponry, as another has put together this working replica of an AK-47 assault rifle. Not something you’d find in the K’nex instruction book, perhaps, but a pretty close impersonation of the real thing all the same.
If, like me, you’ve never looked at a box of K’nex and thought “that would be the ideal thing to make a back-mounted gatling gun” then this Instructable will be a real education. Requiring 6100 pieces and capable of firing 60 shots in very short order (then taking about five minutes to reload), it’s not exactly going to revolutionize modern warfare but it does look pretty impressive.
