How to Make LEGO Halo Weapons

The guns that appear in the Halo games for Microsoft Xbox 360 have become as legendary as the games themselves. Using traditional Lego building blocks, you can easily recreate those iconic virtual weapons. One of the most iconic weapons for gamers who play Halo is the rocket launcher. First making its appearance in the original Halo game, the rocket launcher is one of the only weapons to be included in every Halo incarnation since.

Things You'll Need

• 4 gray small cylinder pieces
• 3 small, flat two-pronged black rectangles
• 2 black circles with four prongs
• 1 gray circle with four prongs
• 2 small gray squares with one prong and an open circular center
• 2 small single-pronged flat gray circles
• 1 small single-pronged flat black circle
• 1 small single-pronged flat black square
• 1 flat gray rectangle with an open circular center
• 1 flat black rectangle with an open circular center

Instructions

1. Take the small black flat circle and place it into the center of a larger four-pronged black circle. Attach a second large four-pronged black circle to the bottom of the first large black circular piece.

2. Attach one flat rectangle piece with the open circle in the center onto the bottom of the black circular piece from step 1. Take two of the small gray cylinders and attach them both to the bottom of the flat rectangle piece. In the bottom of the right cylinder you just attached, snap on the small flat one-pronged square piece. To the bottom of the left cylinder, attach one of the small flat two-pronged black rectangles. Only one prong will attach to the cylinder; the other will be left free behind the cylinder.

3. Place the two one-pronged gray squares that are not flat to the black pieces that were attached to the cylinders at the end of step 2. These squares should be lined up perfectly with the two gray cylinders. Attach one black flat two-pronged rectangle to the face of the two squares. Attach one gray four-pronged flat circle to the bottom of the two squares.

4. Place a two-pronged flat black rectangle on the bottom of the gray circle from step 3. Each of the prongs should be lined up perfectly with the cylinders from step 2 and the squares in step 3. Add a second two-pronged flat black rectangle to the bottom of the previous flat black rectangle. To the bottom of that, attach a one-pronged gray circle to each of its sides.

5. Attach a gray cylinder to each of the flat gray circles from the end of step 4. The Lego man's arm will attach to the rocket launcher in the center of the design underneath the two square pegs from step 3.

Tips & Warnings

• It is all right to use Legos of different colors than those mentioned above. Just be sure to pay close attention to the shapes.
