WhiteFang Posted October 2, 2010 Posted October 2, 2010 Hello everyone, This is my very first attempt to bring all of you a special reviewing highlights on one of the leading Minifigures Customisation Manufacturer, BrickArms. Recently, I have the chance of acquiring quite a large number of BrickArms weapons accessories. From there, I will try my best to share my views and thoughts on these beautiful customised weapons in the form of WhiteFang's Weapon Presentations which will be a regular customisation reviewing feature. Therefore, please share your thoughts on this new feature of mine and areas of improvement. Do note that I am not a weapon specialist and I am learning while I am writing this review, so don't scream at me if I am quoting the wrong stuff. In this very first sequel, I will be sharing my experience on these selected 11 unique weapons and accessories from BrickArms. Without further ado, I will be conducting a weapons briefing for my W.F mercenaries. Almost all of the BrickArms weapons are modeled closely onto weapons of the past and present, even exploring into the unknown future too. Briefing of W.F mercenaries Arrival and inspection of the first weapons consignment The M21 Sniper Rifle The BrickArms M21 Sniper Rifle is one of the earliest sniper rifle which was produced by the United States back in 1969. This sniper rifle is meant for sniping down enemies from a far distance with its trusty telescope on the foresight. BrickArms took its design considerations very carefully in order to replicate the fine details on this rifle. It can also be accompanied with BrickArms monopod and bipod for support. It is now available in 3 basic colours, black, gunmetal and tan. I think it's really very cool to have this rifle to be equipped with those recce solders or those SWAT members. More information of the weapons origin can be found here. The Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) The BrickArms Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) is one of the lightweight machine guns which were introduced back in 1917 during the WWI period that was invented by John M. Browning. This lightweight BAR packed some firepower for the infantry to fight against the enemies and with the bipod support, I am very certain this could stablise its firepower. There are so much details in this weapon such as the firing chamber. This weapon is available in 3 basic colours, black, gunmetal and tan. More information of the weapons origin can be found here. The Multiple Grenade Laucher (MGL) The BrickArms Multiple Grenade Launcher (MGL) is a very exciting weapon that can be used for riot control and supporting fire. It can be used to load different type of rounds such as HE, irritant and pyrotechnic. Do note that the loading chamber is removable and can be used for further customisation. Personally, this is one of the exciting supporting weapons that any solders or law enforcements could need. It even comes with its own scope too. This weapon is available in black, dark gray, gunmetal, silver and tan. More information of the weapons origin can be found here. The Assault Rifle (AK) The BrickArms Assault Rifle (AK) aka commonly known as the AK-47 used by the Soviet Union originally packed an incredible firepower with 7.62 rounds which is also equivalent to your General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG). This lightweight assault rifle is a very powerful rifle and could be very useful for your mercenaries taking down those enemies in the front-line. This weapon is only available in black and gunmetal. More information of the weapons origin can be found here. The Bazooka The BrickArms Bazooka is one of the popular man-portable rocket launcher that could be easily used to blow up buildings, trench and even tanks. Even till this day, this fearsome bazooka is still employed in many various countries and is one of the important infantry weapon assets. This is available in black, dark gray, gunmetal, silver and tan. More information of the weapons origin can be found here. The Apoc SMG The BrickArms Apoc SMG is a customised weapon designed by BrickArms which is meant to use for harsh and extreme evirnoment in an apocalypse world. This weapon is based loosely on the sub-machine guns (SMG) design which is to complement solders to fight against unknown dangerous species. This is available in black, gunmetal and tan. I happened to own the uncommon turquoise Apoc SMG which is pretty sleek looking. More information of the weapons origin can be found here. The Longslide The BrickArms Longslide Automatic is based on the famous Terminator movie which almost killed Sarah Conner. This design was based on the AMT Hardballer. However, this current version includes a mounted laser sight scope which could definitely ensure the lethal death of its target. I really like this when I put together with my recce solder. This is available in black, gunmetal and tan. More information of the weapons origin can be found here. The StG44 Vampir and BA M1 Steel Pot The BrickArms StG44 Vampir is equipped with a scope and an infrared light to locate its target. Not many BrickArms weapons have so many layers of details and this is a fine example of its fine details. Furthermore, the BrickArms BA M1 Steel Pot complements the solder's attire along with its backpack. The weapon is available in black, gunmetal and tan while the helmet is available in black and old green. More information of the weapons origin can be found here and the helmet information can be found here. The BA Stahlhelm The BrickArms Stahlhelm is used mainly by the German solders for its head protection. It is available in black and dark gray at the moment. However, as you can see I have try to place the tan helmet onto this tan outfit and it fits very nicely together with its uniform. More information of the weapons origin can be found here. The Claymore Let's walk away from those firing weapons for a moment and give myself and our special guest, Dragonator to try out the latest two-handed BrickArms Claymore. Note the very fine details and patterns on the hilt and even the blade itself is so sharp that you must be careful not to mess around with it by poking at others. This is an incredible welcomed weapon for the medieval fans and its now available in black, gunmetal and tan. More information of the weapons origin can be found here. The Dadao Last but not least, Dragonator and I decided to employ some Persian mercenaries to help us to try out the latest Chinese Saber or also known as the BrickArms Dadao. This is a very nice looking weapon for Chinese warriors and also for the middle eastern Persians wielders in the Indiana Jones henchmen. I really like this blade very much as it helps to diversify the current blades collection that I owns and I think its absolute suitable for my Persian settings. This is available in black, dark gray, gunmetal, silver and tan. More information of the weapons origin can be found here. I hope you have enjoyed reading this small little presentation of mine and hope it could be useful in your future BrickArms purchases. Images can be found in My Brickshelf (when moderated) and My Flickr photostream. Quote

Cygnet Posted October 2, 2010 Posted October 2, 2010 A very nice review White Fang. I'm happy to see more reviews of custom house products. Perhaps we can convince the Reviewer's Academy to grant a special designation for those of us who choose to do these types of reviews. Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 Very interesting custom Brickarms weapons, thanks for sharing this review BertFang! Though I'm not really into real-world military weapons, they do look good and pretty accurate to the real weapons. I'm sure WW army builders will be extremely to have these. Quote
WhiteFang Posted October 3, 2010 Author Posted October 3, 2010 Perhaps we can convince the Reviewer's Academy to grant a special designation for those of us who choose to do these types of reviews. The teachers and I had discussed before and we could only allow an one time off review for the early reviewing stage for a selection of customised weapons of a certain choice. Of course, we could constantly review our policies and see if we are able to evolve any further. Your reviews are also very welcoming and useful too. Though I'm not really into real-world military weapons, they do look good and pretty accurate to the real weapons. I'm sure WW army builders will be extremely to have these. I agreed on this point too. I am not a weapon specialist and this is my first time handling with BA weapons and to my surprise I had found lots of details in the respective weapons especially after comparing with the reference image.

The Penguin Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 Well, I'm no weapons expert (not to mention my trick-umbrellas, that seem to have everything in them from coffee to poisonous gas! ) but I've bought several lots off BA, and I must say it's really worth every dollar I payed for it. The detalisation is very hight, but at the same time they're keeping it LEGO-like. Thank you for your great review of those items, WhiteFang! ) Looking on all those weapons makes me itch and rush to my wallet. My Gotham thugs would simply love those weapons! But at the same time my Erathian army needs new swords! What am I supposed to do now, I wonder? Good day, ladies and gentlemen! ) Quote
