Need Input: Army Guns

Post by RagnarokRose » Thu Oct 30, 2008 6:42 pm

Hey everyone,

So I want to buy a bunch of minifigs for a themed army. I came up with a couple of gun ideas for the infantry, using the pieces I have the most of.

Gun 1 -

Gun 2 -

Gun 3 -

Thanks.

Your poll is messed up, but I like gun 2.

I say one if you switch out the long-barrelled blaster for the short-barrelled one.

I agree with oneI.
you could also put a black-connector-thingy on the end of the long rifle, I've seen that before to good affect.

Certainly #2. It is far more compact than the other two, yet appears somehow more powerful.

Gun 1 looks like a sniper rifle, gun 2 looks like a regular infantry assault rifle, and gun 3 looks like a bazooka or its futuristic equivalent. I'd vote for gun 2, but keep some of the other two types around for special missions.

all could use some improvement, check out brickshelf, shearch for gun instructions. because other people already figgured out all the best combinations with current peices.

Popchik, i think someone already did that gun for their army.

Besides, i want mine to be original.

But the black technic pin on the end of the star wars rifle, then clip the minifig hand right under the scope. If you must, I suppose the second is the best.

I don't like any of them.
My suggestions:
Star wars long rifle with black hand in fron t of trigger.
Star wars original (meggaphone) blaster with classic space gun (as seen in pic 1) going into the back, both handles down.

Number 2.

Number 1 is good too, but it looks too heavy to be a common infantry weapon.

my floppy penis, i just tried both of those, and, well, no. I already have the hand on the sniper gun thing as a stand for my snipers.

Number 2 it is then! I will post pics of a basic trooper with the number two gun, as soon as I find my camera. Thanks for the input, everyone.
