BrickArms Sci-Fi Pack review

[LuxorV]

Hi all fellow customisers, today I want to share with you this little review of the latest weapons pack by BrickArms: the Sci-Fi Pack.

We start off with a pic of the weapons in this pack:

Let's follow an approximate order from top left to bottom right and go to see the first item: the Plasma Blade

Perfect in design, this is a very accurate replica of one of my (and probably everybody's) weapon from the Halo series. The sleek form and the accuminate edges spell love at first sight!

Second is the High Caliber Sniper Rifle w/flame suppressor, accompained by the Fragmentation Grenade

This two items are a must for every space marine wanting to explore the galaxy with any chances of making it back in one piece. The sniper rifle is by far the strongest weapon in the pack, and the fragmentation grenade is its perfect companion for taking enemies from afar.

Another great tool when dealing with hostile natives is the sleek, but versatile AC8

With its modular interchangable parts and light weight polimeric frame, it is the ordinance weapon of the best peace-keeping forces along the Galaxy.

A classic space weapon, how could the Photon Pistol be left out of the bunch!

As long as you have one of these (and you're not wearing a Red Shirt), you can explore the strangest and most dangerous corners of the Galaxy's sectors with the certainty that Scotty will pick you up alive.

But space is not only last-frontier exploration. Even on the most civilised planets, guerrilla is just a step away. If you find yourself into an urban combat scenario, what best items to have with you then the Apoc SMG and the handy BuzzSaw?

Come on, do they really need more introduction?

Now to the last three, starting with the Plasma Pistol

Probably not as elegant as a lightsabre, or as classic as the Photon Pistol, this weapon is still one hell of a sidegun. The only con is we still don't know how to recharge the battery!

On the other hand, this Gunblade never finishes the ammo!

As you can imagine, it is a bit loud to carry on a passenger ship, but when you go around with one of these, you'll soon be memorable!

Last of the bunch (and my personal favourite in the latest wave) is the Needle Gun

Sturdy looking and menacingly spikey, this gun shoots meta-stable mineral needle which explode after 3 seconds the enbed into the target. To awoid the risks of friendly fire, they are implemented with a feromone-tracking sensor of some sort which allows them to 'capture' the target and follow it upon short distances. And, we know how to recharge this baby! What more could you possibly ask?

I hope you liked this review as much as I liked this weapons pack, and to top it, please enjoy this little comic involving our beloved Event Administrator Ras!

Cool review. My favourite is the SMG. I wouldn't mmind having a few of these, but I probably won't get any.

Are those Cobalt Luxor? BrickArms only made the Sci-Fi pack in silver, but those definitley aren't silver.

Thanks for the review, these look amazing!

I just don't know what colour to get

Wonderful review as always, LuxorV! )

Frankly speaking I never really liked the science-fiction pack, since I'm more into fantasy-medeevil stuff there. But now after reading your review it seems that those nice pieces may be used successfully not only to fight alien invades, but may also be useful for certain other themes.

Good day, ladies and gentlemen! )

They are so droolsome; the mold and the colour! I must get me some...

[LuxorV]

I'm glad you like the review. With such cool items, it's easy to make a good one

Are those Cobalt Luxor? BrickArms only made the Sci-Fi pack in silver, but those definitley aren't silver.

Yes they are; it's a cool colour and I think it is perfect for this kind of items! As far as I know these are colour/mold prototypes; the enigma that is badger was so kind to include a bunch of them along with the regular BA items.
