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, would it be possible to also a discount for someone who say wanted only AKs and M-16s, and wanted more than just a few?

In terms of new weapons, I agree with others that some kind of sniper rifle (the Druganov is one of the most recognizable ones), an MP5 and a machine gun all make good sense and as others have mentioned an MG-3/MG-42 type would work with both modern and WWII troops. And how about another 20th cenutury battlefield staple, the Browning.50 cal machine gun?

cheers!

Magnus

Yes, that is “in the works”. With BrickArms being only 2 weeks old, I’m still sorting it all out, but expect more weapons packs in the near future.

Wow, a “Ma Deuce”? That is doable, but I don’t know that it has the mass appeal that a smaller, more popular weapon (like an uzi or MP5) would have.

As for the Druganov, isn’t that just an AK with a long sight, and a modified stock? Do you think it could be held with one hand?

Thanks for the feedback,
