Halo Reach's Beloved Shotgun Recreated In LEGO Form

Nick Jensen, a.k.a. Nick Brick, has finished his latest LEGO build, a recreation of Halo Reach's M45 Tactical Shotgun that you have to see to believe.

Jensen says that the build took two months complete, though I would have guessed longer based on the quality of the finished piece. In addition to not even looking like it was made out of LEGOs, the gun features a working trigger and a sliding pump that actually ejects shells. You can check out a video of the gun in action below, and see more pictures on Jensen's Flickr page. I just hope his next project is a working life-sized recreation of Halo's Warthog, which I wouldn't put past Jensen to figure out.

Awesome, I wouldn't have the patience or the Lego acumen to figure that out. Oh and beloved shotgun? not when someone else is using it.

Great.. now make me an AR!!!!

It would have been cool to see a break down of the actual gun, just to see all the Lego pieces before they were implemented. This is insanely impressive in my opinion, he's a very talented craftsmen.

It looks like he glued the handle part of the gun together. FAIL!
