Here I will review, the MG42, The Derringer, The Tactical Sword, The AC8, The Buzzgun, and The Sawn-Off Shotgun and the Retro Ray Gun. Part 2 is coming soon! The MG42 is definitely worthy of the Brickarms title. It is absolutely perfect. I have used it in many WW2 vigs, which will be posted shortly, and I must say that it is nothing short of beautiful. The design is so sleek, it is completely minifigure compatible, and it is also extremely detailed. This is definitely a winner!  The Derringer is NOT cute! It is AWESOME. The amount of detail packed in on this small piece is amazing. There is the small drawback of size as it is extremely easy to lose. Other than that, it is an excellent Brickarms weapon.  The Tactical sword is far from perfection. It has a very nice look and feel, but the grip is rather lacking, meaning that the sword is constantly slipping out of your minifigure's hand. While I am pretty sure that this will be addressed in the future I just felt that I should include that.  I did not have a clear pic of the tactical sword so I used one of Badgers. (hope that's all right?) The AC8 is not my favorite, but is still a very good BAP. I have been unable to find any issues with it. The amount of detail is pretty good, and it makes a nice Brickarms accessory.  As a HUGE Gears of War fan, the Buzzgun has to be one of my very favorite BAP’s so far! When I heard it was coming out I got really excited, and it is PERFECT the way it is. Even though a chainsaw style blade would be nice, the smooth blade makes it a more generic Sci-Fi Weapon, rather than just a GOW weapon or a Lancer or something like that. With a smooth blade it can be that and much much more!  The Sawn-off shotgun is another favorite of mine. Whether it’s for some zombie reaping carnage or home defense, this gun can handle the job. The detailed design on this weapon is great! When I heard about this one, I was very excited, and started creating some decals for a Mad Max fig that I will be posting soon!  The Retro Ray gun is a BEAUTIFUL and SLEEK design. Any Flash Gordon fan will love this classic Sci-Fi weapon. This gun is perfect as is, and I hope to see it mass-produced in the future!  This concludes part one of my two part BAP review. Hope you enjoyed it!

Good review, you're lucky that you got so many BAPs at BrickWorld.

Nice review! The pictures were clean and clear, the reviews were short and to the point. All in all this is a really good review and I can't wait for part two!
God grant me the accuracy to hit the targets that I can,
The discernment to not shoot at the one's I can't,
And the wisdom to hide the bodies when I'm done. My Australian "brother" is so proud of me, finally an American understands and enjoys soccer! :P

A very nice, short but simple, review. You must love all those prototypes. I'm really liking all those Needlers, and I'm sure you like them too. :D
