Brickarms is a marketplace for custom-molded weapons and mini figures for those who like their LEGOs to come with a bit of danger. Of course it is the ultimate toy site for boys. It is all a bit dark, but what do you expect from someone who only builds toy versions of custom weapons, weapons packs and custom mini figurines?
I think their latest range may have just crossed the line, however. They have introduced a range of LEGO-style fighting figurines that includes an Islamic terrorist militant, sparking outrage among Muslims.
All the 'toys' are designed and produced to meet the highest standards of quality for your LEGO universe.
Thousands have bought these guns. For the love of me, I can’t understand what would make you want to spend your hard-earned cash on a mini gun that doesn't even fire?
