LEGO Weapons

What to do if your State or Country doesn’t allow you to carry firearms. Of course you need to protect your family from intruders. Here is my suggestion. Build an automatic gun out of LEGO. What you need are those books: “Forbidden Lego: Build the Models Your Parents Warned You Against!” and “Weapons for LEGO Lovers”.

The first book is written by Ulrik Pilegaard and Mike Dooley, both worked as designer for LEGO and specialized in LEGO Mindstorms and LEGO Technic. The book contains 5 instructions how to build a weapon out of LEGO bricks including an automatic gun with a 14 bricks magazine and a fire rate of 3-4 bricks per second.

The second book is written by the German designer Martin Hûdepohl aka Xubor. The first book was named “LEGO for Adults”, but LEGO forbid them using their trademark. That’s why there is a limited edition of 1050 copies available. The content in “Weapons for LEGO Lovers” is the same than the first book. It contains a construction manual for the Thriller Automatic and the Thriller Compact, two slide actions crossbow pistols.

I’m not sure if you gonna scare a burglar out of your house with those weapons. The major damage the LEGO gun may cause him could be poking an eye out. But still, those LEGO constructions are not for kids, they are recommended for adults. And the bricks aren’t included, so it assumes that you have a large collection of LEGO bricks.

Have a look at the gun power of those weapons on the YouTube videos:
