Article in Wired:

wrote ...
A mildly terrifying young Brit named Jack Streat has managed to build a series of working guns, including a Lee Enfield bolt-action sniper rifle, entirely out of Lego and rubber bands. They beat the hell out of last week's printer, that's for sure.

Streat, who lists himself as 15 years old on his profile, has constructed an enormous and diverse armoury of weaponry that fire either rubber bands or Lego bricks. Most are based on real-life guns, including a Steyr AUG, a Tommygun, an AK-47, a belt-fed M429 PARA, an Arctic Warfare sniper rifle, a Glock 17, a pair of semi-automatic TEC-9s, a SPAS 12 pump-action shotgun and a minigun that he calls the Obliterator.

I can see it coming now - "Mothers Against Lego",the "Lego Control Network", "ban it for the sake of the children" etc.

Edited to add:

Talking of cool inventions by teenagers, this is pretty impressive too.

Oh, it's a done deal. Lego's are history. A friend wrote me some time back and in Scotland they attempted to serial-number knives..... I'm being quite serious. A few MP's spoke against it as being over the top but once something like that get's a head of steam; it's only a matter of time.

Thats Slightly scary...
To be honest, I was actually expecting a 'real' chemical (gunpowder) gun.
Hmmm... Maybe Mythbusters should do a Lego Cannon...

I was intrigued at first, but when they started firing" fake bullets", it was kind of lame. I thought they might have actually created something to fire real rounds.
