Another home made rifle

This is getting out of hand. First, RobertaX writes to tell us of the dude in China who's shooting at the eviction crew with a home made rifle, now we have a dude who not only builds a sniper rifle in his basement, but posts a video of it up on Youtube:



He does not tell us how many Lego bricks it took him, but he does provide specifics:
This is by far the best rifle I have ever made. It is a working magazine-fed rifle in bolt-action configuration, with detachable magazines, sniper scope and bi-pod

You can see a video here that explains all of what I'm about to say

'Bolt action' means that every time you want to load a round, you flick the bolt lever up, pull it backwards, push it forwards again and flip it down. By doing this you will extract a 1x4 [Lego] brick from the magazine, pull back the 'hammer' (rubber band), insert the brick into the chamber and hook the rubber band onto the back of it.
If it's this easy to manufacture firearms, no wonder the Brady crew is on a suicide watch.

We need Lego brick microstamping.

For the children.

To think, I had to throw them around by hand.

I suspect Phil Luty's home build SMGs are probably easier and cheaper to build, but, what the hell? I haven't tried building either - yet.
