1:18 Modern Weapons Guide

Gang, I'm trying to add text to some of the images on the database to help identify exactly what some of these weapons are..

Here is what I have so far, any corrections or clarifications would be appreciated.

One oddity I noticed was that the rocket launcher appears to be a Javelin, but the round looks like it belongs to a Dragon..

Anyway, here ya go:

Good project. I believe what you have as the SAW is actually a Mk 46. One of the guys in service could likely clarify.

Javelin missile is sort of torpedo shape, with pop out fins around the mid body and tail. If those are bbi weapons pics i found their missiles to be failry incaccurate, and scratchbuilt my own.

Good call digger.. The manufacturers site (for both the M240 and MK46) says the MK46 was developed from the M240 SAW (70% common parts) as a lightweight version.

So, I've fixed that one..

Also, I dug into my parts box and did a comparison shot of the BBI Dragon missle vs. their Javelin missle. The Jav is a bit larger so I think it's correct above or at least as much as BBI chose to make it.

Ok, two more done. Can anyone identify these pistols?

Without the attachment are Sig P226 (bottom right) and I think a Glock on the left.

Maybe this will help:

Ok, based on the photo below, it would appear the one in the second row on the left is a M1911 .45 - USMC MEU(SOC)?

These are 1/18th scaled?

Thanks Spud, you have any input here? It would be greatly appreciated.

I think I'm close on the pistols except for that last one on the bottom.

And yes, iflabs, these are all 1:18 weapons from BBI's Elite Force line.

The launcher is definitely a Javelin and the round is a Dragon. The pistols are 2 M1911's, a glock and a sig.
