Necro-bump. ^_^

So, I never actually got through with my order. Thank goodness, too, because a bunch of stuff I wanted is on discount! Anyways, I think I'm going to order the following.

20 Micro SMGs
20 Combat Knives
6 Combat Shotguns
6 M1 Cabines
1 M21
2 Apoc SMGs
1 Sawed-Off Shotgun

Does anyone own any of these pieces, or have any recommendations? I'm mainly getting the M1s and M21 because they're on discount.

I've been wondering, is the BrickArms dark grey the same as Lego's dark grey, or dark bley?

It's gunmetal. Closer to bley than dark grey, I think, it's really just a fitting color for a gun.

No, they're listed as different colours.

Top is dark grey, left is gunmetal. At least that's what I think.

Micro SMGs and sawed off shotguns are gangsta; get more sawed offs... for real. I find they look best in the hands of Ewoks.

Combat Knives are great

Combat shotguns are sweet; I like how the U clip works on them perfectly so you can add a chainblade bayonet or other bayonets.

Apoc SMGs are neato burrito

No U clips? If you don't have any... get at least 8. I'd take U clips over the M1 and M21

Just my humble opinion! Really... it's BrickArms.... you can't go wrong.

BrickArms Dark Grey = LEGO Dark Bley
BrickArms Gunmetal = LEGO Pearl Dark Grey

Hope that helps!

That's perfect, thanks. I'm thinking of getting some stuff now, the weapons are looking more tempting than ever.

On a related note, what is the BA silver matched to? Pearl light grey, flat silver, metallic silver, etc.?

Heh, badger just randomly pops in. An AFOL friend of mine gave me some BA for Manly Santa Day: the shotgun and knives are really great pieces, but the grenades are frigging tiny.

Eh, I like the M67 ones, they can be gripped by the cap, or you can fit the little handle/safety/whatever the hell it is around a minifig's hand and have them hold it that way.

'sides, that makes it easier to fit more of them onto rubberband-bandoliers.

i am thinking of out fitting the coalition ground pounders with the HSR guns with under barrel chain saws. good idea?

Badger I know you probably can't give an answer maybe not even a hint but why where the H&K: G36, MP5 and the PSG-1 cancelled?

Post by **Keldoclock** » Wed Jan 12, 2011 12:08 pm

I vaguely remember something about issues with H&K. All of their weapons were pulled from the site in 2009, and you'll notice that the G36, MP5, MP7, and PSG are still available, but only in weapons packs.

I actually don't like the Sawed-Off very much, and I'm ordering only 1 to recreate the Team Fortress 2 Scout. ^_^ And I might replace the M21 with U-clips, though I'm not sure what I'd actually do with them. XD

If only the MP5 was a regularly sold piece... it looks amazing.

Get some U clips.... one of those things that you get along just fine with out. Then you get some and you wonder how you ever did anything with out them.

From a pure game mechanics standpoint I find them to be a great way to get a ranged and melee weapon all in one hand.

They are a facilitator of awesomeness...
