brickarms
BrickArms are designed using the latest Computer Aided Design (CAD) tools to allow for precise details, and yet still retain an artistic sculptural feel of the actual weapons. [1]
BrickArms offers building-toy compatible custom weapons, weapons packs, and custom minifigs. [2]
My 12 year old has bought (and cajoled out of his Grandparents) a passel of Brickarms figures and weapons. [3]

Brickarms is an online boutique specializing in custom weaponry for LEGO minifigs. [...] When I read the headline, I initially had the impression that by “realworld,” you meant that they make little bitty LEGO weapons that actually shoot little bitty LEGO bullets. [3]
Injection molded to the highest of tolerances, all 30 BrickArms Weapons are made of durable ABS plastic - the same plastic that LEGO uses in their own toys, to mesh perfectly with the LEGO system you already own. [1]
All toys mesh perfectly with your LEGO universe, and thousands have been sold to satisfied customers around the world. [2]
The design is still being finalized. [5]

Brickforge.com also offers some custom Lego minifig accessories, but more fantasy oriented. [3]
Unlikely to ever see mass production, but may be available beyond the Spy Contest prizes at some point in the future. [5]
I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the Colonial Space Marine shown is in a similar pose to the icon beside the BB GADGETS title above. [3]
If you would like to be sent the episodes as they are posted, you can subscribe to the RSS feed in iTunes, Zune Marketplace, or another podcatcher. [4]
Two versions were distributed in a variety of colors: one with a lip on the handle and one without. [5]
