M1911 & USP Building Blocks Guns Compatible with Lego - 1:1 Scale Model Pistol Building Sets with Trigger Action, Gift Idea for Boys Kids Ages 8+, Adults & Collectors

I got this as an activity me & my kids could do together during summer break. We all had a really fun time together building these. It came with instructions that I really appreciated. It had all of the pieces and ended up being really cool so we put it up for display because we are proud of them. The value for money paid is a good deal too.

Bought this for my grandson for his birthday. He's in his 30's. He put one together and sent me a picture. Wow, impressive. Its actual size, he said it was pretty easy to put together, some parts were a bit tricky, but not a big deal. I am thrilled that he liked it, as its not always easy to give grown grandsons something they really like besides money of course. Its a keeper!!

M1911 & USP Building Blocks GunsI always state I'm a 56 year old lego nut and have been playing with Lego's since I was 5. My reviews are always honest and I explain in detail when I find something. Lastly, i do not get paid for reviews or receive this product for free.Both of these guns look cool and being able to actually fire is what sold me. I want to really like these gun kits but the poor design choices really hurt this otherwise fun build.** Note I had issues uploading pictures but I would send them if someone wantsUSB GunPros: good looking and fires plastic darts,Cons: the handle and cocking mechanism is poorly designed.The problems:Cocking mechanism:The gun kept getting stuck every time I pulled it back so I redesigned it using the parts in the kit.Section 57: the fix is pretty simple. I swapped the 4 separate 1x2 smooth pieces with a 2x4 smooth piece from the top of barrel. Now it moves back and forth very smoothly and doesn't get caught on the edges of 4 individual pieces.The handle:The handle looks awesome but has several problems with it.1. It needs to be a little longer. I would suggest increasing the length but one or two levels.2. The side covers do not attach that well.3. The internal design where the mag would go should have been redesigned to help keep the side covers attached.Fix it:The fixes are pretty simple and should be done by the designer. Lengthing the handle is easily done so I won't explain that.Sections 40 to 43:Instead of a pull out mag which is sort of cool. I would redesign it by making it part of the handle with additional connection points to help keep the sides attached.Section 42:The best fix is to replace the 4 1b0246001 pieces with 4 1b2008001 pieces which eliminates 4 1b0056001 pieces. In the now open center section, fill it using 4 1b2112001 pieces, 1 1b0244001 piece, and 1 1b2008001 piece. With these changes, you add 4 more connection points per side to attach the side covers. It will make the side covers stronger and less likely to become detached.M1911:Pros: looks coolCons: manual issues, poor trigger mechanism, weak structure issues, bad design.The manual:It's not terrible but many sections don't properly show you how things should look, or pictures cutoff. They should have taken the time to realize that you are unable to see what they wanted to accomplish in a section. examples sections 60, 66, 91 to 96, 105, 111 to 115The problems:This design is a mix of cool and what were you thinking. This is the second time I've had to use superglue because of poor design choices. I hate having to use superglue because it makes me feel like I failed to build it correctly and they didn't take the time to realize it's a poor design.1. The trigger mechanism / cocking mechanism is a mess. It caused a majority of my frustrations. Superglue required to keep the 1x2 piece with red rubberband in place. It will keep coming off no matter what you do. You will also need to superglue the fake hammer piece because that comes off and will stop the section from moving back and forth. Lastly, It doesn't fire the rounds as designed, it just can't no matter how many times you pull the trigger.2. The center section of the barrel is weak, especially at the end . Again poor design choices.3. The trigger guard is small and my index finger barely fit in.4. The Handle is another mess. It's too short and needs at least another two levels, maybe three. It's only attached at the front near the triggered guard leaving the back side to freely move around. This ranks as a serious what were you thinking. It's truly a very lazy design. Why bother with fake mag, it's not designed properly because the center section is loosely attached at one point.The fix.1. Obviously you'll need superglue for places I mentioned.2. I spent some time trying to actually figure out how to get the 1911 to fire. Because of poor design you have to push down on the barrel while pulling the trigger. I did figure out a fix for it using extra pieces that came with the kit. You need one of the red rubberbands and a tan connector that should be an extra piece. Place the tan connector in the 3rd hole from the front of the center support structure. Next attach one end of the red rubberband to the tan connector. Next connector the other end of the red rubberband to the bullet release mechanism. I'll include pictures to show what it looks like.Conclusion:Overall a disappointing kit that has potential but the designers really need to go over the designs and fix the obvious issues. The only two things I can come up with is either the designers were rushed or just lazy. The fact that 1911 doesn't even fire correctly unless you include my fix is telling. Fix the problems and it could be enjoyable build.

Eh the build was super annoying and wouldn't stay together, built the 1911 and I can't even display it because the thing keeps falling apart. haven't been able to give away the other yetId go with something else in my opinion

My son loves these. Super fun to create . He said all his friends want some now. I would highly recommend

I wanted to try to see how fast I could bout it together cause as a kid I was good at these well I’m older and not so fast anymore the fun I had was awesome the the way it looks together it very nice the parts look like there wel built it takes time to build but fun fun

I thought this was going to be a fun thing for me an my husband to do together but the instructions were super confusing and the bags weren’t labeled right so couldn’t figure out what went where

Great product. Clear instructions, good quality
