He does not tell us how many Lego bricks it took him, but he does provide specifics:
This is by far the best rifle I have ever made. It is a working magazine-fed rifle in bolt-action configuration, with detachable magazines, sniper scope and bi-podIf it's this easy to manufacture firearms, no wonder the Brady crew is on a suicide watch.
You can see a video here that explains all of what I'm about to say
'Bolt action' means that every time you want to load a round, you flick the bolt lever up, pull it backwards, push it forwards again and flip it down. By doing this you will extract a 1x4 [Lego] brick from the magazine, pull back the 'hammer' (rubber band), insert the brick into the chamber and hook the rubber band onto the back of it.

I suspect Phil Luty's home build SMGs are probably easier and cheaper to build, but, what the hell? I haven't tried building either - yet.
