For admirers of Lego and guns.

Okay, its one thing that the guy can make them look as realistic as they do. Its another that they have detachable magazines and moving parts. But its mind-boggling that he could make them "fire"!

That is one of the coolest Lego creations I have ever seen. I spent the better part of my childhood building legos and I have to admit that I am glad we had boys. I can still play with them under the guise that I am "helping" my sons. I don't think mommy would be real happy if we were building Lego guns though.

Fanspankintastic!

Way cool! When I was teaching an engineering class a few years ago, we used the Lego Mindstorm programmable robot system... and after the required curriculum, they had a freestyle competition. One year, the winner build a towable howitzer that "fired" its shell by remote control. You can definitely have fun with Legos!

I have been a Lego fan since I was a child, and a couple of decades ago I actually built a telephone "answering" machine. My late wife gave me a Lego telephone for Christmas one year, along with my usual Lego parts gift, and although it took me a couple of years as well as one non-Lego part (a ring detector) and some electronics, I succeeded in creating a crane that would pick up the handset after two rings, pivot clockwise 90 degrees, and begin to lower it.

I still have the phone, and the designs for the crane (somewhere) and although I have given away a lot of my Legos over the years, to grandchildren, neighbors' kids, and gift drives, I have retained a core set.

That is awesome!

Legos are reportedly among the top ten internet search subjects for Cyber Monday. Maybe this is why.

Legos have certainly changed since I bought a set for my kids many, many moons ago. Uh, so has everything else...
