PATUXENT RIVER, Md. – On June 14, F-35B Joint Strike Fighter test aircraft BF-2 completed the first test flight for the short takeoff and vertical landing variant with an asymmetric weapons load. Cmdr. Eric Buus flew BF-2 with an AIM-9X Sidewinder inert missile on the starboard pylon, a centerline 25 mm gun pod, and a GBU-32 and AIM-120 in the starboard weapon bay. Significant weapons testing for the F-35B and F-35C variants is in progress, including fit checks, captive carriage environment characterization, and pit drops. Aerial weapons separation testing is scheduled for this summer.
The F-35B is the variant of the Joint Strike Fighter for the U.S. Marine Corps, capable of short take-offs and vertical landings for use on amphibious ships or expeditionary airfields to provide air power to the Marine Air-Ground Task Force. The F-35B is undergoing test and evaluation at NAS Patuxent River prior to delivery to the fleet.

Another mysterious weapon, using some kind of gel mixed with liquid oxygen as propellant, a flamethrower with a long range and the power of the ancient.
When we found it, it was really damaged, so the grip, the carrying handle and the "magazin" are made by us, the rest, was forged by the elders themselve.
How to reload. First, screw the gas tank (the red thing) out of its holding mechanism (the dark thing with the two rings. Then screw a new tank inside, open the valve and wait until the pressure gauge goes right. now, you have 5 burst of steel melting fire. Have fun.
Credits/Inspiration to Donar, for the Nordic Font and Benjoo, for that pressure gauge.
Feel free to comment and mark it.
At this point I'm considering just giving away or selling these off to people who'd actually be able to finish them. It's better than them just sitting in my drawer for eternity.
Notes added to say what they're supposed to be.
For the latest in my tester line of laser cut designs I've gone for a little Nietzsche inspired piece. Nietzsche was a 19th century German philosopher who produced many scholarly articles. I think his 'best weapon' quote is bang on the money but it's tricky to be sure how impressed he'd be with my creation or whether he'd take umbrage with my use of his quote. Either way as it's quite small at 11x15cm I'll probably stick some magnets to the back and whack it on my fridge unless anyone else is interested. Drop us a line if so...
Cheers

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. If I was to make it turn, I didn't want it to just fall to one side every time I tilted it in the slightest direction. 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. It still tilts, but not nearly as easily as it did previous to the additions. 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. Some more facts about the gun, It's length is 34 inches long, and it weighs almost four pounds.
If you guys have any more suggestions on other guns, let me know! But for now I think I have one planned...
A scene I have been working on for a while.
It didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped, but still cool I think, what do you think?
A Space moc I put together to try out the SNOT technique for the first time, I was considering filling the weapon racks with Brickforge but I decided to make it purist.

If you have time, please pray for my friends and I that our tests will go well and that we get good grades and also for a graduate from our school who was diagnosed with Acute Leukemia. May she get well soon. :)
Not too sure about this picture though. I kinda like it 'cause my eyelashes didn't disappear. Haha! 'Cause I have really short eyelashes.

A variation on the original "I carry a bullet. . ." photo which accompanied the short story of the same name. In this shot, I incorporated more of my military elements, displayed more of the bullets (two on the notebook instead of the original one), made the magazine more clear (to show it is actually loaded with live rounds), and added more light from different angles to make the details stand out more. I may go back and play around with this frame in PhotoShop.
I thought of this after a conversation with a friend deployed to Baghdad, in which he mentioned to me that he thought the war was futile. Not because of the enemy we are fighting, but the enemy we can't fight--our own countrymen who insist on tearing down our Constitution. What is the point of defending our way of life if liberals within our own country want to see the Constitution repealed? That's exactly how we will lose the War on Terrorism.

On a side note: yes, those are my own ID tags, and my own ka-bar, and my own everything. Which is why I decided to obscure the information on the tags, even though having them displayed in a different position or shown more prominently would have looked better. Alas, the days we live in are the days we live in.
This is a tribute and appreciation to all my followers, especially [sapphire-industries.deviantart…] for remaking one of my previous weapons.
To be honest I hate guns. Bananas, satin miniskirts and girly smiles are my weapons of choice to bring some happiness into this world.

Here's my entry for the tremendous technical contest. When the contest was announced the two vehicles that immediately came to mind were a golf cart and a food truck. I chose the golf cart because I live next to a golf course and I see them practically everyday..... :P
Enjoy!

Equipment options are necessarily restricted due to physical limitations imposed by mobile frame power plants, however a recently hired junior engineer at Phayze Fructification, inc. proposed an innovative solution.
These groups of semi-autonomous assault drones function as discreet combat units slaved to a traditional manned frame. Partnering highly specialized frames with suitable bit clusters helps to compensate for weaknesses or maximize strengths.

I've been chewing on this idea for weeks now, but I just couldn't get my head past the Gundam OO "sword and/or rifle bits" style, which just looked like handheld weapons that fly around on their own. That's cool and all, but at this scale the whole thing just looked... wrong? I don't know, I just didn't like it.
But THEN! Then, I remembered Nanoha's fantastically destructive Blaster Bits (which is weird, because it's been a long time since I saw Striker S) and had a revelation! Sadly, I only have one of those Ninjago Holder Circles at the center of these guys, so after prototyping a few of these ideas in-brick I had to take the idea to LDD for further (and, if I may say, *successful*) exploration.
Even worse, I literally JUST received a bricklink order as I was having this revelation, so it's going to be a while before I get around to making another to get more of those holders. ><
Mechanically, I'd stick 2 bits to a plate and call them a 2-system frame.

This guy replaces the Commissar from the Ghost Legion Company, just because I like Chubs more than Commissars.
He sports dual Plasma Lances which give him 2Rh+d8. He also sports a comms antenna for 1Y and high-mobility legs for 1G (plus free Gd8 for no ranged weapons).

Further Notes:
William Stephens Hayward wrote novels that fed off of the public’s interest in adventure, crime and detection (Higgins 103).
