in this instructable, i will be showing you how to make a badass little machine gun for one of your innocent lego minifigures. it is super quick and easy to do, and if you have the right peices, and enough of em', you could create an army of chaingun toting legos capable of mowing down anyone that gets in their way, be it droid, alien, or unsuspecting passerby, in no time

Step 1: What you'll need

 to make the chaingun, you are going to need 6 common, easy-to-acquire parts that almost everyone with lego has. they are:

the black droid gun that comes with almost every lego star wars set (top left)
the smaller peice next to it, which we will call the right angle piece
the 1x1 piece with the tube on the top
the + shaped piece with a lego stud on the top (bottom left)
the circular piece that slips over the + shaped thing
and finally, the slimmer version of the above mentioned piece.

You know you should look into stop-motion. with something like that it could turn out pretty freakin' awesome. By the way, red clay and red paint make really good lego gore XD. Oh, and did I mention, your chain gun is totally sick.

Thanks, bro :D I tried stop motion but I wasn't very good at it. I guess I just didn't have proper gear like a tripod and stuff

if you add a stud peice in between the megaphone and the other handle he can hold both handles

 I made a insane sniper for the mini figures it is a little big but it looks amazing!!!

There's actually a way to do this without the weird piece involved-just stick the right angle on the end of the droid gun part. looks better and makes it easier to pose in a way that would actually look right if one was wielding a portable minigun, which, I remind you, does not really exist for various reasons, most of them involving the fact that most people don't like having their bones powdered by the weapon they're firing.

 yeah, I have to admit that tripod mounted miniguns are better ; )

Agreed. Still looks pretty sweet, though.
