Hello there.
Yesterday I posted a slideshow for my K'nex DSR-1 replica. 
So here are the instructions for it.
For more information about the replica itself, visit the slideshow

Piece Warning

P6070127.JPG
P6070113.JPG
Before you start making this gun, please read the following things:

* It uses a lot of Y-connectors. I counted 65 of them in the gun
* In these instructions, you'll notice a couple of broken connectors. Do not break any of yours, I used already broken ones, because I ran out of unbroken connectors. The two orange connectors in the very back stock can be replaced by grey connectors.
* To make this gun with one magazine, you'll nead at least 3 broken with rods, 3 connectors wide. The broken rod in the bottom of the handle can be a normal one.
* You need at least 2 hinges. The one in the handle, and trigger guard, can be ball joints.
* It uses quite a lot of pieces (at least for me)

If you've read these warnings, and have enough pieces, you can start the gun.
Put on some of your favorite music, gather your K'nex, and have fun building it.

Pretty easy step, just follow the pictures
1: The finished stock
2: Build this. The gap on the right is supposed to be there, here falls the bolt handle in when it isn't pulled
3: Almost the same, only it has blue rods, and the front is slightly different.
4: The front internals
5: Add them
6: The internals for the rear part of the stock
7: Layer one
8: Layer two
9: Layer three
10: The parts for the top part of the stock
