The Gun That Wasn't

This is the most hilarious case of mistaken identity I've stumbled over in some time. Fortunately, no one was hurt in the incident.

A completely understandable, but funny as heck story.

I have to say though, the BrickGun models look quite awesome indeed.

Me ordering or assembling one in this country would probably lead me to disappear forever due to the Internal Security Act though.

Maybe if I just buy the digital instructions to drool over some day. Can't get arrested for an unreal (digital) manual to assemble a unreal (replica Lego) gun, eh?

Hahaha.

Course, there's ordering the bricks separately, but real Lego bricks cost too damn much anyhow. I'm just impressed with the stuff people concoct outta Lego - talk about the ultimate player created content franchise.
