About ByteGuns / FAQ

ByteGuns builds 1:3 scale collectible gun model kits for people who care about realistic detail, solid construction, and the quiet satisfaction of fitting something together the way it should be. Every kit is a screw-together mechanical build — real hardware, spring-loaded internals, functional actions — not a snap-together toy. No corners cut. No exaggerated marketing. Just clean design, quality parts, and collector-grade execution, designed and made in Kentucky, USA.

No — ByteGuns are non-firing display models. They're designed to look accurate, feel authentic, and assemble like a true mechanical object — but they are 100% safe, legal, and do not shoot or function as weapons in any way. They are miniature scale models, the same category as model cars or Gundam kits.

One of the widest lineups of miniature firearm model kits available:

ByteGuns — high-detail 1:3 scale kits with moving bolts, functional slides, working triggers, and spring-loaded internals. Rifles, pistols, SMGs, shotguns, and more.
BitGuns — beginner-friendly single-sheet kits with no hardware required. Perfect first build for the Gundam and scale-model crowd.
PixelGuns — 1:6 scale display models sold in 3-packs, sized for action figures and minifigs.
Upgrades — display stands, stock upgrades, and add-on parts for every 1:3 scale model.

New kits enter R&D every few weeks, so the catalog keeps growing.

Collectors searching for a GoatGuns alternative usually land here for one reason: moving parts. GoatGuns makes solid die-cast display miniatures. ByteGuns makes mechanical kits you actually build — screws, springs, and functional actions included.

Every kit is designed, printed, and finished in our Kentucky shop — small batch runs, not container-ship inventory. Hundreds of kits leave the bench every week, each one washed, cured, and quality-checked by hand before it ships. Because production is in-house, we iterate fast: new models enter R&D every few weeks, and small-batch drops like limited restocks sell through quickly. When you buy a ByteGun, you're buying direct from the people who made it.

Yes — ByteGuns ships globally. If your country accepts mail, you can build a ByteGun. All models are non-firing miniatures, so they ship as scale model kits.

Core ByteGuns models are 1:3 scale — one-third the size of the real thing, with proportionally accurate details down to the pins and profiles. PixelGuns run at 1:6 scale for action-figure displays. These aren't props. They're mechanical tributes to iconic firearms — built for hands-on people.
