The Top Ten Countdown
-M47 Shotgun -M24 "Potato Masher" -RPG Rocket Grenade -M1A1 WW2 SMG -Combat LMG
-M21 Sniper Rifle -Combat Knife -M23 Pistol

NOTE: These are not in order of awesomeness, they are simply listed in review order.

To start off this review, lets start with not a weapon, but a system, the "Free BrickArms System" as I call it! This is a thing that we truly have to thank will for! With every order, we get free BrickArms weapons, and this year, they come in the color of "Olive Green." This is a great system, as it allows fans to get a feel of weapons they may not have. For example, a got a free Xeno Pulse Rifle in one of my orders, a weapon I had no intention of buying before. Getting my hands on one has changed my mind, and I now have plans to purchase several of these awesome guns! This is the glory of the "Free BrickArms System."



I love this one, the BrickArms M47 Shotgun, one of my favorites. The M47 is a really great gun! With numorus gripable points, it becomes very useful for dynamic sceens, where every detail counts! Detailed to boot, this is one of the BrickArms that makes my Top Ten Countdown! 'Nuff said!

NOTE: Also available in tactical version.


Next up is the Magnum Revolver! This is another excelent piece! This one is great for 1920s to 1930s era stuff, making it perfect for any Indiana Jones sets you may have in your posetion! It is sold in sets of two, so you can eaisly equip your forces of good and evil! Asides from that, there isn't much else to say of the Magnum Revolver. This one makes the Top Ten Countdown.


Another weapon that I have to show is the BrickArms Silenced Spy Pistol. This peice is small and portable, perfect for, well, spies! Being good is awesome, but being cool is amazing! This weapon is cool, plus they come in packs of two. The only downside I found to this weapon is that I just can't seen to get it to fit into battlefield warfare. Oh well, still a wicked weapon, but because of the last noted issue, it sadly dosen't make the Top Ten Countdown.
NOTE: Available in non-tactical version as well.

The BrickArms Spy BriefCase is great for spies and assasins alike! Stuffed with a Micro SMG inside, this accsesory is deadly for whoever gets on it's owners nerves. Although it maybe be a tad pricey, it is difenatly worth it beause of the small firing slit, which takes time and effort to cut. Had this not been included with the incredible BrickArms Spy Bond, I may have never layed hands on this great accsesory!

Next on my hit-list is the MP40 WW2 SMG! This is truly a great piece, and is dead accurate to the real thing! With a bit of modding, it could be turned into a Grease Gun, or maybe another household object! When someones one the loose with a BrickArms MP40, hid, because this is one mean machine!

This here is the BrickArms C96 "Broomhandle"! This is the perfect German pistol, and can be modded into a Luger or Han Solo's pistol from Star Wars! With these modding qualities in the C96, so much is posible, at so little a price, as they come in sets of twos!

The BrickArms AK Assult Rifle is another wonderful piece in thier huge lineup. This is a great for any Russian or Terorist figs. It is quite detailed, but for some reason, feels very blah to me. Still a grat piece, but because oh that unidentified blah feeling, this dosn't make the Top Ten Countdown.



What I'm about to show you is known as the BrickArms M24 "Potato Masher"! This fine piece, while not the most detailed, is really worth the money! You get 2 for a dollar, so it can be abtained in large numbers easier. In my opinion, every troop you own shouldbe equiped with these fine grenades, and this knocks it into the Top Ten Countdown!



The BrickArms RPG Rocket Grenade is a weapon not to be taken lightly! This tank-buster is basicly a stick-with a grenade hooked to the end! This was BrickArms' only anti-tank lancher until recently, with the release of the new Bazooka. The new Bazooka has stolen many's hearts, and isn't getting the attention it deserves. It is wicked, and it is the BA RGP Rocket Grenade and it makes it to the Top Ten Counddown.



This is one of my favorites, the M1A1 WW2 SMG! Loaded with details, this is one of my favorites for a reason! Every thing on it is perfect, from the barrel to the contour fitting stock, this is a true triumph in BrickArms Engineering! This one easily makes the Top Ten Coundown!

This here is the BrickArms M1911 .45 Handgun. This simple yet effetive weapon is a clear demonstration of BrickArms' brilliance! This gun is well loved by modders, as it is highly versitile. In my opinion, the handle really needs some form of texture to it, to pack in a nice, detailed look. Sadly, this dosn't make the Top Ten Countdown, just because of this.

Next up is the Micro SMG Pair! These small guns pack a punch, and the last place you want to be is in front of them! They are also very posible, and can be held in both under and over hand position. While these may be great pieces, I mind they are a tad to "micro". If they were a smige bigger, they'd be perfect.



Next item to be reviewed is the Combat LMG. This is a monster! It is one of the larges machine guns offered by BrickArms! Highly detailed and gripable, this beast comes with both a Monopod and Bipod! This is a shoe in for The Top Ten Countdown!



Now we have the BrickArms M21 Sniper Rifle, a truly wonderful piece! This is very detailed, very accurate, and very deadly! These details are also it's downfall, however. The "rifle grip" design is one of the biggest flaws, I think. Although this is for accuracy, I think it is a negative. Fortunatly, this can be remideied with a BrickArms Monopod. Even with the "rifle grip" flaw, this still makes the Top Ten Countdown! That's how great it is!



This one is wicked, the BrickArms Combat Knife! Small but detailed, the Combat Knife is simply an awesome weapon. Easily stabs itself into the Top Ten Countdown! 'Nuff said.

Black Shadow X5 shows his love for the Combat Knife.


The M23 Pistol is another wonderful weapon! This is detailed and awesome, and also has a laser beam for "red-dot accuracy"! Aside from that, I can't say much else about it. It simply makes the Top Ten Countdown!

Well, that's all for now folks! More to come in the neer future! LONG LIVE BRICKARMS!

That was a pretty good review, a little short, but you said you would add more, the pictures were a little blurry, too.

It didn't take a short time to write! That's all I know! {Wink} As for the pictures, my camera just didn't want to work with me. Normally it takes very fine photos.

This is a great review I have differing opinions with you as far as top 10 but I fully understand your reasoning behind every choice now I want to make my own top 10 list.

I think we should have a topic where we tally responses to find a real top 10.

That sounds like a good idea! On another note, the hardest thing about the Top Ten Countdown is doing just that, finding the top ten, when there are so many great things!

Good review, I got a gold Xeno Pulse Rifle in one of my orders, and it is so awesome!

The only thing better then Brickarms are BA minifigs.

Nice review, and you are entitled to your opinion on the AK47. Personally, I love the AK47 and always will. It is my favorite, non-prototype Brickarm weapon.

The picture quality is meh, but the rest is pretty good. ;)

The AK has it's ups and downs for sure! It is great for modding, which I only recenly discovered, and, with it's blankness, it can double as an MP44/Stg44!

Nice review, it's very down-to-the-point, if you know what I mean. Great job on the figs, my favorite was the Thompson and M1911 handgun part! Great job!

No, I don't. ;) To be honest, if you liked that, then you'll really want to see me new review which is almost done and ready to be posted.
