Gun Builder
Gun Builder puts you in the role of an armorer, letting you piece together a wide range of rifles, pistols, and other firearms from an extensive catalog of components. With an intuitive drag-and-drop interface, you can attach barrels, stocks, scopes, magazines, and more, tweaking every detail to match your preferred style or performance goals. After assembling your design, you can fire it on the range to see how it handles, observing factors like recoil, accuracy, and damage output. The game encourages experimentation and creativity rather than strict objectives. Whether you're crafting a compact sidearm or a long-range sniper, there's no wrong way to build. Each part affects the weapon's stats, so you'll need to balance aesthetics with function if you want to create a truly effective piece. With hundreds of combinations to explore, Gun Builder offers a satisfying loop of designing, testing, and refining your arsenal.

What is Gun Builder
Craft the ultimate weapon from scratch and see how it performs on the firing range. Gun Builder is a creative sandbox for anyone who loves tinkering with mechanical details.
How to Play
Select a base weapon platform, then drag and drop compatible parts onto the attachment points to customize your build. Once assembled, switch to test mode to fire the weapon and observe its stats, then make adjustments as needed.
Tips for Playing
- Balance weight and handling: lighter builds improve mobility but may increase recoil.
- Try pairing a long barrel with a low-magnification scope for mid-range versatility.
- Don't ignore the grip; it can significantly reduce recoil for rapid firing.
- Experiment with different ammo types on the range to see how damage and accuracy change.
- Save your favorite builds so you can compare them side by side.
