Lego Weapons: Realistic Enough to Hold Up a Liquor Store January 26, 2007

You can create just about anything with Lego, but now we direct your attention to a subset of the Lego-building posse: These guys make guns. The one pictured on the left could even be kinda dangerous, shooting what its maker calls "very strong rubber bands," albeit one at a time.

Rather than functionality, the BrickGun Desert Eagle on the right goes for realism, and yes, it's made of 288 genuine Lego parts. It's BrickGun's biggest handgun model yet, and it looks close enough to the real thing to fool a convenience store clerk. Remarkable. It's $55 for the parts and instructions.

The plural of LEGO is LEGO, it's like sheep, but with lots of colour.

$55? Surely you can buy about three *real* guns for that price?

Firing elastic bands is great idea: for all guns ...see http://iotd.patrickandrews.com/2007/02/10/cordite-lite/

First of all, I was wanting to ask for a Seburo Kit with legos, second, you d*** stefrobb iggit, u cant buy 1 gun for 55$ well unless its stolen, i looked at new markets and used markets S&Ws are like starting out 100 and more to 300 dollars. 55$ is pretty good and if ur a lego and gun finatic then its worth something.
