Brick Shooting Shotgun Built From Lego By 15-Year-Old
Lanxon writes "A mildly terrifying young Brit named Jack Streat has managed to build a series of working guns, including a Lee Enfield bolt-action sniper rifle, entirely out of Lego and rubber bands, reports Wired. Streat, who lists himself as 15 years old on his profile, has constructed an enormous and diverse armory of weaponry that fire either rubber bands or Lego bricks. Most are based on real-life guns, including a Steyr AUG, a Tommygun, an AK-47, a belt-fed M429 PARA, an Arctic Warfare sniper rifle, a Glock 17, a pair of semi-automatic TEC-9s, a SPAS 12 pump-action shotgun and a minigun that he calls the Obliterator."
If you look at the kid's youtube channel, he states pretty clearly that he will not sell his instructions or any of the models. He even states that he breaks down the guns to reuse legos in other models. The press, as usual, is trying to whip up a fear storm.
How many of you built cool things out of lego when you were kids just to see if you could make it work.
Fixed that for you.
