 This is probably the hardest part of building the gun, but it's still relatively easy.

 These next steps are not necessary, but they allow the gun to stand up and they look cooler.

How to Fire

Bend the arm back all the way, put a piece on, and pull the trigger.

But if you leave the arm sticking straight up, it will break, so bend it all the way back.


If you have any improvements or mods to my gun, post them.
But just give me credit
Have fun with my gun!
