Jun 11 2010Guy Builds Fully Functional LEGO Sniper Rifle
Note: Video is after the jump because I couldn't live with myself if anybody accidentally put an eye out on the front page.
Jack Streat went and built himself a fully functional Lee Enfield sniper rifle out of LEGO Technics. And by 'fully functional' I mean the thing can accurately shoot LEGO blocks up to a couple feet. It's definitely not gonna make a terrorist's head explode or anything. Now I'm not saying you could do more damage with a Lincoln Log catapult, but I have eaten a couple LEGO bullets before with little to no damage (they passed just like corn except with a *tink* when they hit the bottom of the bowl).
Hit it for a video demonstration of the plastic pews.

Thanks to T.J., zygomatic arch and jenn, who were all sent to the principal's office for making guns out of popsicle sticks during arts and crafts.

That's pretty cool, but that guy wins the award for biggest geek ever.
15. cbobgo - June 11, 2010 1:45 PM
So he can build a gun out of lego but he can't focus a video camera?

@14... really? you ARE reading geekologie, written by somebody who drinks all day, looks up these things, drinks some more, does things with dinosaurs (who doesn't?), drinks, fights volcanoes with dinosaurs, drinks AND does stuff with dinosaurs who are probably also drinking,... need i go on?... actually, this GW guy sounds pretty cool if i do say so myself... sounds like the sexiest man alive too :B

20. amgine - June 11, 2010 2:53 PM

21. Jim - June 11, 2010 3:01 PM
while i think the gun is cool as shit, i think if anyone walked in on him filming this video they might be embarrassed. does anyone else realize he has the camera attached to his head? try explaining that. thats why he couldnt focus it as well. probably took a camera and duct taped it mighty ducks headband and rolled the fuck out.
22. me - June 11, 2010 3:19 PM
what kind of legos are all of these people using?
23. BSBrigham - June 11, 2010 3:29 PM
GENIUS!
24. ORLY - June 11, 2010 3:46 PM
Obviously it's fake! Camera is blurry and the shadows are all wrong! *sigh*
25. ORLY - June 11, 2010 3:48 PM
@16
You better RUN FORREST RUN!!!!!!!
26. Fackster - June 11, 2010 3:58 PM
Lies !!!!! legos float in the toilet bowl !
27. RiotDemon - June 11, 2010 5:24 PM
That is one of the coolest "out of the box" lego items I have seen yet. I wonder if you could get stronger rubberbands and shoot farther.
I can't imagine the amount of work it took to get that thing to fire.
28. Eroticus - June 11, 2010 6:53 PM
These people who label everything fake and are gay for shadows f*ck me off. As if someone would try and trick you into thinking a toy gun can fire lego bricks. It's very cool but at the heart its a glorified catapult and would probably be easier to make for realsies.
29. awesome - June 11, 2010 6:56 PM
dude this is fing great i need me one of these lol oh and GW dont stop writing the word about the video not being on the mail page they ARE funny and alot of us like it its a little weird that they are always there but i am starting to be accustomed to it and there are some funny ones infact i laughed out loud litterly i lol at one of them the other day
30. ORLY - June 11, 2010 6:56 PM
@28
If you are dumb enough to think these people are serious, then shame on you.
31. Andyb - June 11, 2010 7:22 PM
@24
Of course the shadows are all off there's several sources of light....stop being so depressing
32. sdsd23 - June 11, 2010 8:04 PM
Who cares!!! My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He- is eight years older than me, lol. We met online at an age gap dating site [A_g_e_m_i_n_g_l_e @ c.//o.//m]---a nice and free place for Younger- Women and Older Men, or Older Women and Younger Men, to interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or- tell your friends

Orly you're probably dumb enough to eat up whatever sh't come out your mums ass. I just want people to stop writing the same comments.
37. Qthedude - June 16, 2010 12:36 AM
You are a god of legos!
38. Poopy Pants - June 16, 2010 10:42 PM
Imagine if you sharpened the lego's into a bullet shape! That does it, I'm going to become a vigilante super hero that wields lego frag grenades and a lego revolver. I do need help with a name though. I'm thinking acrylonitrile butadiene styrene man. (Thanks Internet)
39. Peter griffin - September 7, 2010 2:48 PM
