I have really wanted to do a top ten for a while so here goes. First up will be the production/removed items followed by the top 3 prototypes. One of the Captains in my new army will help present these. #10 Colt Navy Revolver This weapon is often overlooked but I find it neat. The grip is a little slanted compared to the other Pistols sold by Brickarms but I find it works very well in the civil war era. I own a replica of a real one and the detail is perfect.  #9 Colt M1911 Some critisize this for lack of detail but I like it. You have to admire a gun that was in service for nearly a century. My stepdad used one of these in Grenada and he said it was very effecticve, you want a pistol with power. I think that replacing it with the M9 was a blunder by the US Millitary, it is combat tested to the exteame, powerful, reliable and accurate.  #8 MP40 A very well detailed weapon and spot on in terms of size. I read a book written by a US WWII Army Soldier and he said the only two weapons he liked were the Thompson and the MP40. The pistol grip is a huge plus and I find this a highly versitle weapon.  #7 M1 Garand In my opinion the Origional Minifig Rifle. This is a very realistic weapon, even down to the receiver. It can fit many theams and I am particurally fond of it in Black.  #6 M4 Carbine The standard AR of the US army the M4 is a very well detailed weapon. It can fill many roles from Afganistan to Vietnam. It has an almost comic like apperance because of the part at the end of the barrel which just adds to its splendor.  #5 Thompson Personally one of my favorite weapons of the century the Tommy Gun packs quite a punch. It is somewhat easy to mod into the M1928 variant which was better suitted for the mob than the US Army. This gun if perfect for Modding, and the contured stock fits a fig perfectly.  #4 PSG1/BPSR The original minifig Sniper Rifle. I prefer it over the M21 because of the Pistol Grip. It is good for modern/future theams as apposed to the M21 past/Present themes. It has a long barrel and an easily moddable scope.  #3 G36 If I didn't love this Weapon why would I make it my Troops' standard weapon? The Grenade Launcher means that squads don't have to carry Anti-Armor weapons and the Sight adds to accuracy. The wire butt is great for mods and is the Launcher.  #2 C96 Broomhandle Mauser One of my favorite weapons of all time. It was accurate, reliable, and could pierce brick. The Germans used it with great success in WWI. It is finely detailed and is the perfect size.  #1 MP5 My Favorite Brickarms Production Item of all time, I am a fan of this gun in real life and it is accurate and has a good rate of fire. I like the shape, size and everything about it.  Thanks for following that! Now my top 3 Prototypes #3 AC8 I had a hard time deciding if this should be 2 or 3. It is a great weapon, a little big but I am not one to complain. I for got to take a pic of this in my lightbox so this is just in front of one of my Laptop Speakers.  #2 PPSH This one was battling it out with the AC8 for #2 and it one mostly because of its historical significance (The XM8 project was scrapped) and its interchangable mags.  #1 Prototype The Minigun I really like this gun in real life and I think it has a lot of uses. Adding an ammo chain (not pictured), a monopod, and a handle makes it accesible to be carried, while the handle hole allows it to be vechicle mounted. I really like the minigun.  Thanks for looking!

Awesome! Do you have any G36s up for trade? I'm sure the AC8 could replace them though. [ADMIN - MarineRaider, you know the rules: No trading or selling through the BA Forums. Use Flickr for that, ok? ---Will]

I think that will could make all the guns like the PPSH, w/ the interchangable magazine and the fact that the magazine is removable is GREAT! The minigun, I think, would make the. best. weapon. period.
