[MOC] GAU-90 (Avatar AMP Suit Gun)

Recommended Posts

 

This is my MOC of the GAU-90, a fictional weapon featured in the Avatar movies. I built it after treating myself to LEGO set 75571 (Thanator vs AMP Suit) and deciding the AMP suit needed a bit more firepower!

According to behind-the-scenes movie references, the GAU-90 is a 30mm auto cannon designed to be used by the RDA’s AMP suit operators. It can fire high explosive, armour piercing or incendiary rounds at a rate of 250 rounds per minute. It also has an under barrel bayonet for close quarter combat.

I wanted my version it to look like something LEGO could (should?) have made to accompany the set so I made the gun able to clip into the hands. I also added a stand to store the gun/ammo drum when not in use.

The build went together pretty quickly using the parts I had available and I think it came out looking OK (Although I do need to improve the bayonet attachment as it’s a bit wobbly!) I’m really liking the official LEGO Avatar sets and might look at doing more Avatar themed MOCs in the future.

Thanks for looking.

Cool stuff! I like your bayonet solution.

Good thing about Lego is that we can do what they don't want to.
