In 2007, the Thriller Automatic was built for maga zine Weapons for LEGO Lovers. It can be seen as the prototype grip for the Thriller Advanced.
Considering this long develop-
ment history, it should hardly be surprising that this model is the most complex and technologi- cally sophisticated one in this book. This model is the most precise, has the longest range, and, thanks to its projectile’s large caliber, packs the most powerful punch of them all.
note: Building this model requires gluing and sanding a few LEGO pieces.

4 Pushing the slide forward into
the firing position engages the chambering mechanism again, this time causing the launching rubber band to eject the top projectile from the magazine into the launch rail.
