What will they make next from the humble lego blocks?

not exactly airsoft but an interesting use of lego alright.. is that an official lego product or did some just create it?


Edit: found the original article here

love the quote at the end:
"Kids could make atomic bombs out of LEGO, and just think what would happen if some Islamic terrorist get hold of a copy. The possibilities are terrifying."

kdouglas

lambchops

Reminds me of Brickguns that first made the Beretta 92fs out of Lego, with praise directly from Beretta themselves.

Now they make all kind of lego replicas, MP5s, Desert Eagles and Glocks.

This is very serious, enough of the uranium 235 bricks put together and you may reach critical mass.

They are the heavy bricks that tingle in the hand....

The Daily Telegraph has dubbed the tome "the Anarchist Cookbook of the nursery".

Its a sign of the times when the media can be so ott that its hard to tell if something is meant to be humourus or a "serious think of the children issue"

Sure its hilarious craic altogether lol

I imagine it wouldn't take too much to merge a lego gun with the mechbox of an airsoft gun. Would be interesting to see the result.

Oh, and that comment about "Kids could make atomic bombs out of LEGO." was indeed a joke. It was made originally on the Thisislondon website. What's also funny is the reply be some guy who actually thought he was being serious. I guess sarcasm is a dying form of humour.
