    I am utterly unimpressed. When I was 10, my brother's best friend chased me with a K'nex gun that could shoot nails through walls. This is basically a huge rubber band gun in comparison.

    The impressiveness is not in the power of the rifle, but in the technical execution. Anyone can make a homemade nail-shooting crossbow with a plank of wood and a few industrial-strength elastic bands. This rifle is impressive because of the loading and cocking mechanisms, and the properly calibrated sights.

    Well, you can make a Lego house.

    Cool video, though. I once saw an article about a working Lego Beretta hand gun, but that was no where as awesome as this.

    Yup! Pretty cool picture. I just wonder if it drives.

    Edit: Nope it's hollow. But here's a link to a blue one.

    ...Am I the only one who saw this and thought "...DLP Lego Gun Convention tiem!"? Would be awesome. Get teams of three to five, a wooded area or some kind of urban setting... Swat/Ranger vs Criminal/Militia type thing.

    Wouldn't be hard to replace the mechanisms with high-tension rubber bands or something to increase distance and what not... Would be awesome!
