Dude i learned about these gunse 2 hours ago, im definiteley getting that awesome book on amazon, and i know someone who works at lego that can provide me with the pieces, this is just what i dreamed for years! I hope amazon delivers at mexico. If not ill have to pay extra to get my hands on it! :p

"The subject matter will not be to everyone's taste" . Re-he-heeeeally?! You think?You could've written that in letters ten foot high, and it would still be understatement of the century. If i could thumb DOWN a news piece, this would get it big time. This is one seriously UGLY subject for lego bricks. I mean, wow. This is sooooo not what i come to brickset for.I'm not a hypocrite, and I'm certainly no prude. There is a world of difference between action-based adventures featuring fictional comic-book cartoon combat, and... this... window into a very real world of humankind's latest inventions for the killing of others. I don't care how amazingly accurate they are, what fantastic techniques are employed, or replica or not, it's still one very ugly subject. Blaaaagh.I'm sorry if you disagree, but this comment thread is for opinions (both for and against), and this was mine. One of immense disappointment at the editorial decision to highlight such an ugly subject for a children's building toy. Boo.

Yes a very contested subject. I am not sure if Huw was aware of the furor surrounding gun control and violence in the US right now. I think people in the states should give him the benefit of the doubt.I think issues like this come down to the personal choice of the FOL. For example, I understand why Lego does not give weapons to their police officers in the CITY line, however I have given all of my minifigure police officers weapons because I feel it is more realistic. Yet I also understand why people would prefer weaponless Lego police, it helps make Lego a more innocent product, and I think Lego's innocence is part of it's appeal.Yet there is demand for high quality Lego weapons, just look at Brick Arms. Some of the best MOC builders are known for their gun replica skills. There is a market for this stuff. Huw was right in his knowledge that gun builds are popular among a certain segment of Lego fans.Finally I think Huw has the right to touch contested issues on his own website, all Lego fan sites have that right. Some of us might the uproar a few months ago when The Brothers Brick blogged about the social media "Equality" campaign. Although my opinions on the issue are the opposite of The Brothers Brick, I respected their right to publish their opinion on the subject and I thought the trolling the post attracted was uncalled for. Huw has the right to show his opinions on Brickset, even if it opposes the views of some of the readers. The day we stop allowing people to express their opinion is the day we begin to lose our freedoms.

^^ I was careful not to post my opinion on guns in the article, only on the book itself.As I have said above though, I don't agree with making realistic guns from LEGO but that doesn't mean that I want to deprive those that do of the ability to do so or to find out how. It's a (mostly) free world, and it's not illegal to do so.Lighten up, everyone!

There's a difference between censorship and not promoting something. Sadly, this has promoted it - right splat on the front page. Include it in a list of lego books but a front page news article? I'm with those that think this was a very poor decision.And I have to say, I see this appealing much more to 10-16 year old boys than 'collectors' of guns or lego. The name 'Badass LEGO guns' for the previous verrsion would suggest so too.

I have held and fired a real BG22, 92FS, and 1911. Those lego ones look scary real and is something children should not have. If someone pointed one at me, I would think it was real. Not good, Lego gun replicas a TERRIBLE idea. Nothing against Lego, these weapons are fan-based. Huw, I have no problem with you publishing this article.

The US Department of Homeland Security and the Joint Regional Intelligence Center released a memo stating that "significant advances in three-dimensional (3D) printing capabilities, availability of free digital 3D printable files for firearms components, and difficulty regulating file sharing may present public safety risks from unqualified gun seekers who obtain or manufacture 3D printed guns" and that "proposed legislation to ban 3D printing of weapons may deter, but cannot completely prevent, their production. Even if the practice is prohibited by new legislation, online distribution of these 3D printable files will be as difficult to control as any other illegally traded music, movie or software files."[183]

Attempting to restrict the distribution of gun plans via the Internet has been likened to the futility of preventing the widespread distribution of DeCSS, which enabled DVD ripping.[184][185][186][187] After the US government had Defense Distributed take down the plans, they were still widely available via the Pirate Bay and other file sharing sites.[188] Downloads of the plans from the UK, Germany, Spain, and Brazil were heavy.[189][190] Some US legislators have proposed regulations on 3D printers to prevent them from being used for printing guns.[191][192] 3D printing advocates have suggested that such regulations would be futile, could cripple the 3D printing industry, and could infringe on free speech rights, with early pioneer of 3D printing Professor Hod Lipson suggesting that gunpowder could be controlled instead.[193][194][195][196][197][198]

The Falcon's combination of sublight speed and maneuverability was comparable to most of the starfighters fielded by the Rebellion and Empire, while its shielding, hyperdrive, and heavy weapons were on par with those typically found on capital ships. These traits made it an ideal choice for General Lando Calrissian's attack run within the bowels of the Death Star during the Battle of Endor. The Falcon's only real combat weakness was its sheer size in comparison to starfighters. Although the ship had squeezed through many narrow spots in its history, it still lost the oversized sensor dish while trying to get through a particularly tight section of the Death Star's superstructure.
