Ooooh! *wub*

I don't care about Halo, but this would be great as a DC-17 for a Clone Commando! 8-

[Dragonator]

These look really awesome! *wub*

I'd love to get some of these, they look so realistic, and suitable for Lego people two! :'-) *y*

Too bad TLC doesn't make things like these.... :'-(

I wonderded Why doesnt lego make stuff like that.

I meen Look at the lego castle line, Its good but the castles are looking more and more like just a wall with minifigures.

I do Like the look of these two ships:

The problem is that both of those are just to big to sell. Both would have 5000+ pieces afterall... If it was Star Wars maybe, but I can't see Lego ever selling original designs with more than 5000 pieces. I hope I am wrong though.

Those Guns (which aren't connected to a certain Microsoft game for the X-Box in any way) Look nice! My Blacktron army may be purchasing some soon! *wub*

Those MOCs are by Dan Sibley and Keith Goldman, respectively.

Yes its a nice gun as we can see..........................but how nice is its business end? *skull*

[hollisbrick]

Do you think these will ever come real guns?

[iamded]

Um... if by real you mean real minifig scaled weapons then yes, these are prototypes for Brickarms weapons. I've been planning on getting Brickarms wepaons for my Lego ZASTGSF, but I don't have paypal. Oh, and for my Lego Punisher! :-( I need lots of Shotguns.

Zombie hunting ON!

Why not Ogel? I think for a lot of people it enhances the LEGO experience.

Glad to see there's so much interest in these prototypes!

In regards to a few questions that have popped-up:

Those Guns (which aren't connected to a certain Microsoft game for the X-Box in any way) Look nice!

Yes, these accessories were indeed inspired by weaponry featured in the HALO videogame series, but their specific design is original work by Will Chapman. As many HALO fans have pointed out, several details of these weapons are different in these prototypes are markedly different from what appears in the games. Firstly, this is to respect Bungie's copyright of those designs and to provide Brickarms patron with original, distinctive accessories that are versatile beyond HALO-specific MOCs. Second, the process of making a minifig accessory requires a certain design aesthetic to be applied to the weapon resulting in a very stylized caricature of the original weapon scaled to the minifig.

if by real you mean real minifig scaled weapons then yes, these are prototypes for Brickarms weapons

Indeed these are picture of prototypes made on Will's home CNC machine! This set-up allows him to produce prototypes of designs quickly and cost-effectively and gives him the chance to test out how new designs will work "in minifig hand" ;-)

These accessories are currently scheduled to be released as part of Mold 3 which is still currently in development. However, Will has posted pictures of a prototype of another Mold 3 accessory: the M1 Garand.

A release date still hasn't been set for the release of Mold 3, but I'll let you all know as soon as I can announce it!

Those guns look sweet but I can't suport people making there own lego pieces...

No worries, that's certainly your choice to make. Still, in regards to quality, Will easily matches (and in my opinion, surpases on occasion) the quality of TLC accessories. Will has also striven to maintain an aesthetic that closely matches that of TLC such that Brickarms accessories look natural in your minifigs' hands.

Just leaves more Brickarms for the rest of us!

Thanks very much for the update, answers and now photo! The M1 Garand looks great! *wub*

[ExoBuilder]

The M1 looks great. Can't wait to get it!!!

[iamded]

Having just played Medal of Honor; Airborne, that Garand looks really sweet! I actually was thinking of Brickarms and their helmets when I was playing that game... And yes, I was reading about how he makes the Brickarms equipment, with ABS plastic and that machine that cuts the pieces out all fancy like. Quality stuff indeed! *y*
