Here at Geeky Gadgets, we’ve featured some fantastic Lego creations, from circular saws to iPad stands, and here’s another to add to the list. A Lee Enfield bolt action sniper rifle made completely from Lego that even fires Lego bricks.
Created and built by Jack Streat, who has made a number of different Lego weaponry in the past, he admits that this creation is his best to date. Check out the video to see it in action after the jump.
The Intricate Design and Functionality
Not only is the detail on the sniper rifle fantastic, but it also includes a fully working bolt action allowing you to load Lego bricks into the barrel. Every time you need to load a Lego round, flick the bolt lever up, pull it backwards, push it forwards, and flip it down.
This motion will then extract a 1×4 Lego brick from the magazine, pull back the ‘hammer’ (rubber band), insert the brick into the chamber, and hook the rubber band onto the back of the brick ready to fire. The precision and attention to detail in replicating the mechanics of a real sniper rifle are truly remarkable. Jack Streat has managed to capture the essence of the Lee Enfield bolt action sniper rifle, making it not just a static model but a functional piece of Lego engineering.
Jack Streat’s Other Lego Masterpieces
Jack Streat is no stranger to creating impressive Lego weaponry. His portfolio includes a variety of other intricate and functional Lego models, such as a fully operational Lego AK-47 and a pump-action shotgun. Each of these creations showcases his exceptional skill and creativity in using Lego bricks to replicate complex mechanisms.
For instance, his Lego AK-47 features a working trigger, removable magazine, and even a safety switch. The pump-action shotgun, on the other hand, has a sliding pump mechanism that loads Lego shells into the chamber. These creations are not only fun to look at but also demonstrate the potential of Lego as a medium for building functional models.
The community of Lego enthusiasts has been greatly inspired by Jack’s work. Many have attempted to recreate his designs or even come up with their own innovative Lego weaponry. The level of detail and functionality in Jack’s creations has set a high standard in the world of Lego building.
