Everybody loves guns.

My proof: Ask a child aged seven what he’d like for Christmas and he’d say: “An AK-47 please”. Ask a Nigerian drug dealer what he’d like for Christmas and he’d say the heads of his enemies, a brick of coke and a gold-plated Desert Eagle. Now simply extend my evidence to include all the people in between my two examples.

One of these subsets of gun-lovers will be nerdy types. Not content to simply buy or steal a gun, these mavericks want to build their own…From LEGO!

And here’s the book to show you how. It called Badass LEGO Guns and it teaches you how to make five working guns that shoot rubber bands or lego bricks. The fully-automatic assault rifle is amazing.

The Badass guns include:

• Thriller, a powerful crossbow pistol with smooth cocking and chambering mechanisms
• Parabella, a pint-sized, rubber-band shooting marvel
• The Warbeast, a sophisticated, fully-automatic bullpup submachine gun
• Liliputt, a semi-automatic pistol with a nine-brick magazine
• Mini-Thriller, a folding crossbow pistol

Now it’s up to you to you to figure out how to mod these to shoot 9mm hollow-point rounds.
