LEGO Gun of the Week - Custom Cornershot by Pink Stormtrooper
Posted by Merrie on 9th May 2017
Featuring an extra special, extra custom LEGO Gun of the Week, we present the Custom Cornershot by Flickr user Pink Stormtrooper! As this build is the brainchild of its builder, we'll leave the talking to creator! "Well, I've done it! The Standard model of the CornerShot, fitted with a Glock pistol. This has been one of my most challenging weapons ever, because of the difficult feature that involves a third of the gun to rotate 180 degrees. I went over a few different designs and features, and after six weeks, and over 20 hours, I've come up with a final design I love! This is probably my favorite weapon I've ever built. I think I've done a good job at combining functionality with detail. The most difficult part of the swiveling section was the brake mechanism...So here's how it works. A long technic rod was used as the axle, and a few technic bricks were used to attach both sections of the gun together. To create more friction so it wouldn't tilt so easily, I used rubber tires, and a ribbed hose flattened tightly...Some of the other working features besides the 180 degree turn include a working safety, collapsible stock, iron sights, removable pistol, folding screen for front camera, removable magazine, working trigger (on the pistol, not the rifle) and a few adjustable knobs on the front light. [This gun is] is 34 inches long, and it weighs almost four pounds." Looks like we have a professional LEGO gunsmith on our hands. Great job!
