LEGO Heavy Weapons: Build Working Replicas of Four of the World's Most Impressive Guns

[Video Link] Here's a video trailer for Jack Streat's Lego Heavy Weapons how-to book I mentioned last month.

From LEGO guns mastermind and 17–year-old YouTube sensation Jack Streat comes LEGO Heavy Weapons, a collection of complete building instructions for four truly impressive, 1:1-scale replicas of the world's most iconic firearms.

LEGO Heavy Weapons will show you how to build brick-based models of:

- A massive Desert Eagle handgun, with working blowback action

- The compact but deadly AKS-74U assault rifle with folding stock

- A bolt-action Lee Enfield sniper rifle (a.k.a. Jungle Carbine) with bipod and scope

- A pump action SPAS combat shotgun

Each set of instructions includes a complete parts listing, so you can find (or special order) any hard-to-find bricks. The book's illustrated, step-by-step building instructions will be clear to anyone who's ever played with LEGO bricks, and the biggest models will challenge and delight even the most serious builders.

  I still think the “Warbeast” fully automatic is pretty impressive:

  Good, but I need a 1:1 version of a howitzer for my back yard. My neighbors have been getting loud recently.

• [Mister44]

  No 1911? Fail!

  The Desert Eagle is sorta played out in my mind – but still some awesome brick building!

  • [Halloween_Jack]

     The Deagle was probably played out twenty years ago when they had Danny Glover lug one around for most of Predator 2 with a big laser sight (which he never turned on) stuck on top; his being chronically covered in sweat during the film was probably because of the weight, and he only got to fire it near the beginning of the film, IIRC.

     Agreed; the 1911 remains the the most classic piece ever.

    Ask and you shall receive:

    BrickGun 1911

    Jack’s DE was informed by our design from some 7 years ago. His mechanics are awesome, but our realism is a bit more on point.

  That is extremely cool. The jungle carbine is my favorite out of the bunch.

• [SomeGuyNamedMark]

  Great, now the TSA will confiscate Legos.  “Sorry but you could build an assault rifle once you got on the plane.”

• [SomeGuyNamedMark]

  Also have to admire the Lego transmissions people make.
