Toy Brick Gamer Guns

The LEGO Halo Sniper Rifle is a Geeky Masterpiece

— November 2, 2011 — Life-Stages
The LEGO Halo sniper rifle may be the most awesome piece of LEGO art ever created. I say this as a gamer and lover of LEGO, so my view may be slightly skewed. Regardless, this toy brick rifle is an amazing work of fan art that has to be seen to be believed.

Nick Jensen is the man behind the LEGO Halo sniper rifle. The rifle is built to scale and is designed to look like the one used in the most recent Halo game titled 'Halo: Reach.' The rifle stands an impressive five and a half feet long and took Jensen four months to build. In addition to his LEGO Halo sniper rifle, Jensen has also created the pistol, assault rifle and combat knife from the game out of LEGO.

3. Custom LEGO Builds - The custom LEGO building community continues to thrive, with talented individuals pushing the boundaries of what can be created with LEGO bricks and inspiring others to do the same.
Industry Implications
