Here are some pics of the 4 different colors of U-clips and how they look with a few different weapons

I really like the Damien Blade I also got from brickarms. I only got one in Dark Gray and I am going to order one in gunmetal and one in silver to see which one looks the best as a bayonet.

1. Gunmetal

2. Black

3. Silver

4. Dark Gray

Dark Gray Clip and Damien Blade (I had to cut the hand protector off of one side to make it fit)

I think the Damien Blade is too big, the blade is almost bigger than the gun. I think the best choice is the gunmetal or the silver clip with a normal blade. Maybe you should also cut off the handprotector of this blade because it's pointed a little bit downwards now, but that's not neccesary (and maybe you can also fix the problem by shifting the clip a bit backwards, if you know what I mean. That's my opinion, you decide what you're going to do with it :pir-classic: good luck!

My concern with the Damien blade is also the length, I just really like the look of the piece

Shifting the blade did not work. I agree that the hand protector on the knife needs to be cut as well (I used scissors on the Damien blade, but I need to use and Exacto Knife to fut the smaller one).

I aggree with that! the Damien blade looks very cool :pir-classic:

good idea, I hope you will manage to cut it well. Maybe you can try it with a 'wire cutter' (does that mean anything to you? :pir_laugh2: ) there are very small versions of them.

Glad you like the U-Clip and Damien Blades! The Damien Blade is a fantastic work, and the U-Clip really is a handy little piece. Will actually has some neat plans about other accessories that could use it!

As for the Damien Blade, I'd agree that the blade unmodified is a perhaps a bit too long relative to the rifle, but it is a neat, savage look having such a long blade at the end of a weapon.

I do agree that trimming the hand guard off the other end would probably make the piece look a bit polished.

Of course, if you're willing to wait a little bit, BrickArms does have a new item in the pipeline I think you'll enjoy!

Didn't realize the clips were so thick though, i thought they were thinner.

The prototype version (as seen above) was a bit thinner, but to ensure a solid connection and a sturdy piece, Will made it a bit thicker for the production version. It real life, it's really not that thick (about the same width as a minifig hand), but macrophotography tends to make it appear larger than it really is.

Bayonets are more often on the right side of the musket, than under it. Most muskets I've seen and the one I have (though it's American Civil War) is on the side.

Anyway, I think it looks great. Really looks like the sword type bayonets!

Looks very good. Most usable elements for us armybuilders.

I await this pipelined item with great impatience :pir_laugh2: !

Can't wait! Any chance you could tell us when we might see that new item?

Dr. Steve, could you please post a picture with an Imperial soldier with a musket and U-clip, but with a common LEGO cutlass as bayonet?

I think the cutlass is slightly shorter then the damien blade. The upcoming bayonet from Brickarms looks great but I just want to know how a common cutlass looks like.

I've tried it with a hook like Martin did but I've never seen it with U-clips.

Thanks in advance! :thumbup:

Thanks! I think only the musket needs an update. Now it's more a blunderbuss instead of a tight musket. :pir-blush:

I am really thinking about buying these U-clips. They aren't only handy for bayonets but also for a lot of other things.

Who knows what can happen in the future...

Perhaps BrickForge or BrickArms have their secret projects too...

But I really think there should exist LEGO muskets too instead of only blunderbusses. :pir-blush:

I was wondering about that "new Item" in the pipeline. Would it need a u clip to attach to the rifle or would that be a part of it?

Also do you have an idea of approx when we might see that new item?

THANKS

Take a look at the above pictures! It's the BrickArms Bayonet, which can be attached to any minifig-grippable surface via the BrickArms U-Clip! The base of the Bayonet can also fit into the standard LEGO port that fits anything minifig-grippable.

Will it be available soon?
