Playing Card LEGO Gun

LEGO can indeed build wonders. Throw in LEGO Technic elements in the mix and you can make this: Playing Card LEGO Gun. That’s right. Someone has built a playing cards shooting gun out of LEGO Technic.

Created by Finnish YouTube channel Brick Experiment Channel, the Playing Card LEGO Gun kind of lets you make it rain playing cards, but in a somewhat dangerous way. How dangerous you asked? Well, at close range, it can actually penetrate an apple. Seriously I kid you not.

You definitely don’t want to be aiming this living things at close range.

Two motors are responsible for sending the cards, one card at a time, downrange and one motor powers the feed system.

Reloading is quick. Just 5 seconds is all it takes.

It has magazine (of sort) that takes just 5 seconds to reload. The gun is cable of firing 6 cards per second and a max speed of 33 kph or 20 mph. It won’t kill or maim, but it will hurt and possibly blind if hit the eyes at point blank. So this, while a fun project, is definitely not for kids.

Here, have a look at the build process and the gun in action:
