Lego war

This essential post on c|net today points out one of the most important shortcomings of the familiar Lego bricks: the manufacturer has always been loth to provide their little brick characters with real guns. Sure, Lego knights have their sword and Lego cowboys do have revolvers but these are always period weapons-not the real deal. So far no way to fight jihad with your Lego people :(
Thankfully, this company called BrickArms is there to help us catch up with the times and fight the true conflicts of the twenty-first century! They make both figures, such as Lego terrorists or a Lego James Bond, and a credible set of weapons, including shotguns and assault rifles, and even a briefcase Uzi "for setting up failed Lego drug deals!"
See the BrickArms website for more info.
