Make a Gun in Minecraft
Most combat in Minecraft is done up close and personal. TNT cannons can pack a big punch, but are resource intensive and blow up all your stuff. What's the best way to kill that army rushing through your defenses? A Minecraft machine gun.

Steps
- Gather your resources. You will need 6 blocks, 1 dispenser, 3 redstone, 4 redstone torches, a lever, and arrows.
- Place your dispenser, a redstone dust behind it, and 2 blocks behind that.
- Place a block above-left and above-right of your rear blocks.
- Place redstone torches on the sides of your bottom rear blocks (4 total).
- Put redstone dust in the channel on top of your rear bottom blocks. It should start flashing.
- Place a lever on the back of the rearmost bottom block, and turn it on.
- This turns the machine "on", but stops the dispenser from firing.
- Fill your machine gun with ammo (either arrows or fire charges).
- Prepare for war.
Tips
- This machine gun doesn't fire far when made on the ground. It has a better distance and spread when elevated.
Warnings
- These occupy space and putting them in un-strategic spots makes it a space occupier
- Using projectiles that explode aren't exactly flavour of your cannon's and your month since villages or structures you like which are nearby have a chance of being hit or being destroyed by explosions
