Syvergent is a very powerful little pistol; I think it could easily be used in a 'K'nex war' as a secondary.  

It gets its name from two terms:  Sci-Fi, which is shorthand for "Science Fiction," and Divergent, meaning "Defying Convention."  I really think that it defies convention, because its appearance and frame design are different from most guns, and it also looks like something straight out of Star Wars, hence the "Science Fiction."

Some Stats:
It uses my TP4 turret from The Prophet.
It uses a red rod sized firing pin.
It's very compact.
It gets outstanding ranges for its size.
Has a ridiculously comfortable, cool looking handle.
It can take a lot of power.
It has an easy turret reload.

Unfortunately, it uses a cut piece in the trigger: half of a green rod.  Other than that, I really can't think of a con.

If you have no idea how K'nex guns work, and want to know about all the different types of K'nex guns, see my guide.

Now, onto the instructions.

(I have made the notes under each step HomeStuck commands, because why not?)

You know what to do: pull the ram back, pull the trigger, and repeat until out of ammo.  Once you're out of ammo, spin the turret again like in Step Seven.
