I spotted these on MOCPages a little while ago, and I thought they were cool enough to mention.

I think they fit with minifigs perfectly. They seem to be sold out though, or maybe he just hasn't set it up yet. Either way, I'm definately buying some when he gets them in stock. I hope he makes a shotgun or rifle in the future. :D

I normally don't go for parts that arn't actually lego, but i may have to invest in some of these. I like 'em all, but hte RPG is great!

Role Playing Game? :wink:

Seriously though, these seem as well made as Blasterman's and RedBean's (I don't actually have any of those, but from what people say, and from pics, they're pretty good). Now we can get modern, castle, and space weapons!

Brickarms modern weapons...they're not bad, not bad at all.

I just hope there are no hard feelings come Brickfest.

Ooh...I kind of like those. Probably won't be buying any now, though, since Lego finally got on the ball and started making more modernish guns.

WOW! I think me wants some!

I need to army my minifigs with more accurate looking weapons. But I would like for him or anyone else to make other weapons like:

P-90
M249
G-36
L115 (sniper)
M82A (sniper)
Uzi
G-3
MP5
Styer Aug
M-8
Galil
Type-95
AT-4
RPG-7 (current one looks more like a Panzer Faust more than an RPG)

This is my current "AK-47"... a regular Lego made rifle with a dark grey hand piece as the magazine.

Woow, this is cool!!!
I like the WW2 weapons, the Mp40, Thompson, and Panzerfaust a lot!!! I really would like to buy a couple of them :D
It would also be cool if they make Mp44`s http://www.airsofthawaii.org/jp/ballistic/shoei16.jpg. The Nicest gun ever, altrough I don`t like modern weapons a lot.

Hi! I'm looking to add more to the inventory, but I thought I'd start off small with the 6 weapons.

Thanks for the feedback. I welcome it all!

Hey Will,

Welcome to CC! Your stuff looks awesome.

Nice! They fit with the distorted minifig scale, while preserving the look of the weapon.

A definite next should be an mp5 (also seen here with stock extended).

I'll have to get some for my GLA theme.

D-Man: I have an MP5 designed and ready to be added to the mold! Weird synchronicity :D

Once I see the rate at which the first 6 items sell, I can better gauge the ROI on new offerings. I have plenty of plenty of room in the mold for more weapons.

Blasterman, do you know something I don't? Are you referring to a new Little Armory offering? I didn't think I was competing with him - his stuff is medieval and post-modern.

Does he have something up his sleeve? 8)

He probably does know something. Blasterman is the owner of the Little Armory. ;)

My stuff is medieval and space, only because that's what I currently have to offer. That doesn't mean I will never venture into other themes. I've been talking about many other possible themes for the past 2.5 years! And I probably would already have some of them, if I didn't have a few other things happen along the way. But that's a different story. I'm on the right track now, so people can expect to see new things soon.

Either way, you've entered a different world now. A world of cut-throat tactics, knock-off wannabes, and the possibility of direct competition around every corner. All this, over minifig accessories.

Just informing you, and good luck.
