Tons of them have said At least I think i belong to this AFOL community. You can twist and turn it as long as you want to.. but a weapon like that is only used for killing humans. Nothing to be proud of. Why don't you build a model of an anthrax virus? Lego was to be meant as a toy, weapons are not. Carsten (i know this gets offtopic in .cad... I linked it to .debate)

		Re: Using Lego to build weapons? (was Re: The Lego Beretta just won't die)
(...) I'm still kind of confused. I think you're missing a bit of the semantic language in what was said--he's implying that though his Beretta is the vehicle that piqued people's interest in LEGO anew, they've come here and seen everything, and (...)
