Ed, Let's play a game

And what is the problem with Lego?

And what is the problem with Lego?

It hurts like a biatch when you tread on it

 

[Airsoft-Ed]

I might make some mines out of it...

 

[Bottledtorment]

I will remember to wear a bomb disposal suit next time then .

 

[Ian_Gere]

Just imagine putting a pyro inside a well stuck together block of lego :lol:

 

[TacMaster]

The pieces would fly out like multicoloured death

 

[M_P]

Everyone in the blast radius would shit a brick.

 

[Ian_Gere]

^^that's so bad it's good :lol:

 

[Liam Porter]

Lego's fucking indestructible, the pyro would go off, the Lego would contain the full force of it and maybe just bounce off the ground a little.

And as soon as someone took a piece of Lego off, the full force of the pyro would come out the gap they created.

 

[TacMaster]

Usually depends on the quality of the building. When I was a kid I used to make lego models that would smash when dropped 1-2m onto hard flooring. A lego-encased pyro with that sort of structural integrity would be awesome

As much as I'd love to agree, try dropping a star destroyer.

I always wondered about those potato masher fore-ends. I heard the first convincing argument for them the other day. As they are separate from the slide, they stop someone standing in front of you pushing the slide back far enough to stop the hammer striking.

Not sure why they need the "meat tenderizer" finish though.

I think it's meant for breaking windows or something

 

[TacMaster]

Surely a hardened steel stud under the muzzle would be a less dramatic alternative for window breaking?

I had (actually still have, fully built under a pile of crap in the loft,) a Lego plane, was about a metre long and wide, could literally throw it down the stairs, and all that ever fell off was the wheels and the propeller on the front.

Also had an aircraft carrier about 2 metres long, which only broken once when I fell down the stairs carrying it.

Admittedly, they were both modified slightly from the original instructions to make them stronger, but still.

The plane's wings would always fall off otherwise, and the aircraft carrier had a weak middle section, so would snap in half.

 

[Ian_Gere]

I am being dense here, or isn't the obvious use for them beating someone's face in, in a more painful way than with no meat tenderiser?

 

[Airsoft-Ed]

I've always called them face smashers.

'Cos I assume they were intended to smash people's faces. Simples.

I might have to try that Lego pyro idea in the garden though... I have a megablocs aircraft carrier, s'about a metre long-ish and I know for a fact that if I threw it down the stairs, what I'd find at the bottom would be unrecognisable in comparison what I originally threw down.

TBH I wouldn't know megablocs from megabollox. In my day getting blocks with a 45deg flat face was amazing progress from the 3D pixelated universe our imaginations had to work with previously :lol: and blocks in colours that might make anything look even vaguely cool were the tiniest part of anyone's collection, kept in a separate container, hoarded against the depredation of siblings!

Whatever it is though, I want to see the vid of you blowing it up!

On the pistols the "face smashers" are designed so that you can push people away as quite a few semi auto pistols won't fire when out of battery (the slide isn't fully forward).
