Hi all! I’ve just opened my new BrickArms store offering custom molded
minifig-compatible modern weapons (try saying that five times fast!).
Each was designed using a 3D CAD program, and the molds were made using Computer
Numerically Controlled (CNC) machines. The plastic is ABS, and each weapon fits
the minifig geometry like a glove.
• M1A1 - US WW2 Thompson Submachine gun
• M4 - US Carbine Assault Rifle
• MP40 - German WW2 Submachine gun
• M1911 - US Colt Semiautomatic pistol
• AK - Kalashnikov Assault Rifle
• RPG - Rocket Propelled Grnade Launcher
+ 6-Pack - One of each weapon
They are available in black and a mid-gray (the mid-gray color leans more
towards the classic dark gray).

As a maker of metal die casting tools, I really appreciate the quality of the tooling that you managed to come up with. Suggestions? MP5 (...) (18 years ago, 5-Jun-06, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

Hi Will Your custom minifig weapons are amazing. I too think they will be one of my first non-LEGO purchases to supplement my LEGO collection. A few thoughts on future weapons: Like you have mentioned I think you should stay away from add-on (...) (18 years ago, 7-Jun-06, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)
I must say A+++ for these minifig guns. I wasn't sure what to expect, but when I got them, and in only a few days (2?), I was impressed. These are excellent quality, and Will even threw in some bonus parts. The Panzerfaust (rpg) is cool, and the (...) (18 years ago, 13-Jun-06, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)
(...) <snip> As with everyone else, I'm exceptionally impressed by the high quality/detail you got in these arms. And with everyone else, I'll send up my requests :) -- A Tommy Gun (URL) I can do a diorama of 'A Piece of the Action' :) and a double (...) (18 years ago, 13-Jun-06, to lugnet.build.military)
Will, I can only echo what others have said, very nice stuff! It seems that the 6-pack offers a decent discount for those who want to develop a small arsenal. I imagine some builders are most interested in either the modern or WWII era weapons, (...) (18 years ago, 14-Jun-06, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)
