Because you Pirate fans demanded them!

Rapier:

Removable Bayonet:

The BrickArms Bayonet is made up of two parts: the Spike Bayonet and the U-Clip ("U" for universal as it can clip to darn near everything!). Removed from the clip, the Spike Bayonet makes for a great thin dagger . . . or a shiv!

Posted Image

The U-Clip also has many, many potential uses as it can used to attach any two minifig-grippable items together. Here, I've used it to add a BrickArms Combat Knife to the BrickArms M4 for a more modern take of high-seas piracy:

Like all prototypes, the designs and colors of the items are subject to change in the final production items. The release date of these items also has yet to be determined yet, but rest assured, you'll read about it here when they're available!

You have no idea how hard that made me laugh. :pir_laugh2: Considering how a friend of mine won't shut up about shivs, shanks, shanking, shiving, etc. :pir_laugh2:

Those look great! The Rapier may be a bit long, I think, to be held by a rubber band around a Minifig's waist and looking natural. Could we have a comparison with the standard LEGO cutlass? The bayonet is great! I want a Brickarms backpack with a holder for the bayonet components. Maybe some Brickarms ammo pouches. :pir-cry_happy:
Yeah, maybe. Takin' a 9 month break. I might possibly see you next June.

the rapier is awsome, and the bayonet is cool, but rather inapropriet on the blunderbuss, i think a new rifle should be in store, and a pistol too

Wow, awesome work guys! :thumbup: Those look great! Your going to make me bankrupt with all this good stuff. :pir_laugh2: I'll definitely get a few when they come available. :pir-sweet: That U-clip is pretty damn cool, I'm sure it will be really useful for all sorts of things. It's nice to see your branching out into bladed weapons now too.

Certainly!

Measuring, the BA rapier is only about 4mm longer than the TLG cutlass. As the real-life cutlass was a short-sword and the rapier was a comparatively longer weapon, this puts the BA weapon in appropriate scale with other minifig accessories.

I don't have a rubber band to test it, but hold the sword to the side of the fig, the blade looks perfectly natural. Believe me, we test and retest every prototype before we display them, and the length of the rapier was a part of the design everyone at BrickArms (especially Damien, our resident bladed-items expert) paid close attention to.

That is a neat idea, but it doesn't quite fit into what Will is currently working on - bladed and modern weaponry - none of which works in the brown color. We'll see what the future holds for BrickArms down the road!

WOW! These are awesome. Would you please post some pics of the M1 and bayonet? I think the length of the rapier is good. It's about the length of the katana, right?

Those are absolutely awesome Badger! :pir-oh3:

Wow, I will have to buy some of those.
One thing though, the rapier hilt looks a little too thick. I could be completely wrong, but especially in the side by side comparison with the cutlass, it looks a bit thicker.

Great, nonetheless!
