Wow, I never expected this! BrickArms graces a 3/4 page spread in the October 2008 issue of the German version of FHM magazine. Enjoy! My universal-translator is out of juice. Does anyone read German out there? Can someone translate this for me? :) (click for full-size goodness)

Will, have no fear! I shall translate *very heroic pose*! But it's gonna take some time, so expect a translation later on today. Btw has Obxcrew already shown you that Dutch internet site where Brickarms gets 5/5? I added a full translation in that Pm. Henk p.s. Could you please reply, else I get Badger mad at me because I double posted.

From what I am learning by taking German, it says you make custom lego guns such as the Uzi and Walter PPK.
And I think it also says your awesome. :)

Congratulations! My knowledge of German is very rudimentary at the moment, so I can't help, sorry. I know an Austria member of the forums that may be able to, though. . . .

Ah, William Michaelian was indeed correct ;) EDIT: Translated Article: "Firearms are not toys, as one can see if they look on the shelves at Toys R Us. However, it is not agains the law to copy weapons as toys. People who wish to do this may buy from BrickArms.com original weapon reproductions for their Lego figures. From the Uzi to the Walther PPK, everything is there. One can even buy grenades, and, if it is also necessary, a miniature briefcase to hide a submachine gun in. The owner can then carry his gun around. The company also offers Lego soldiers. Also, for the old-fashioned, it offers older soldiers in uniform."Rough but readable. Perhaps kbcjm will consent to grace us with his excellent German :)

Brickfan, your translation is not so bad, but there are a few mistakes in my opinion. I sent obxcrew my translation. Your first setence is even better than mine, I think.
But congratulations! I wonder, that they´ve printed it! In Austria and Germany there are a few laws against nationalsocialism, so Wehrmacht compared with toy would be not so easy to print...
And here´s my translation (please tell me, how good my English is!):"Hit
Push-in
A weapon gets dangerous, if holded in the false hands. Right!
If you look for weapons at a Toys´r´us, you´ll see, that they are no toys. There is no reason, why not making toy weapons. The producers of Brickarms.com thought it too, so they produce true to original facsimiles of weapons for Minfigs. From the UZI to the Walther PPK, everything is produced. Even grenades are sold - and, if necessary, a midget briefcase, to hide a silenced pistol in it. The owner of the weapon has to fit to it. The company sells Minifigs with military and agents clothing. And for nostalgics there are also lil´ men with uniforms of the Wehrmacht."
EDIT: Oh, and thank you, Brickfan! But, it´s easy to speak German...if it´s your mother thongue!
If you feel like no-one would think of you, that´s wrong. The ministry of finance does.

Of course there's mistakes. I used a crummy online translator ;) Anyway, thanks for translating! It's nice to know what it really says :)

That's awesome. I wonder who wrote that article, because whoever it was, go you. Internet high five!
I love M21s.
What, was that supposed to be funny, or what?
I don't do funny. Ever. So go ahead, have your funny signatures, whilst I, for one, will keep it simple.
