Small Scale Military Headquarters

Could anyone tell me which, if any of the FOV or bbi modern figures included the M240B or any other M240 MG variant? Is there anyone that produces 1/18 scale weapons that may have a M240B? I'm looking to score a couple for a custom project I am working on.

Thanks!

I made some visual 1:18 weapon identification guides a while back with the help of several forum members. Anyway, here is the link. There is at least one 240 if I recall correctly.

Thanks grunt1, nice work. So am I correct in the understanding that the M240 in your pics is a bbi item? If so, do you recall which figure it was included with?

Check out this fig from BBI:

Plus two figs from FOV:

And yes, it was also available in a weapons set, but that will be pretty hard to find:

parish333 has covered all the ones i know of probably the easiest ones to find for US fans at the moment will be the FOV figures. I havehave suggested to Marauder Inc that a FN mag would be a great addition to his releases but am not sure he thinks there is a market for it. Wave 5 should be announced shortly so fingures crossed! Hope you find what you need anyway!

Great work guys! I really appreciate everyones help on this one. I am not up on all of the figures & accessories like I am the aircraft and vehicles.

Looks like I will be heading to Target this evening!

Thanks again everyone!

Hey Scope UK --- where does Marauder make its announcements? On the Joe Boards? I can't get enough of his stuff - best and cheapest way to customize your own little armory!

Anyhow, keep us posted when you find out about wave 5 - I can't wait to see what's in store!

p.s.: what's an FN mag?

John posts on numerous boards and leaves little hints on different ones of what will be in his next wave
if you check this link there is a round up from greenshirt of things John has hinted at:

I like the sound of the Scar! also i did see him hint at another knife on joe customs. When i see pictures i am sure they will be posted here.

The FN Mag is the machine gum that the British army and numerous other armies use:

The M240B/G that the US uses is a version of the FN Mag or as we brits call it the GPMG or Gimpy .

The BBI 240 is also available in some of the Combat Command sets.

Doh! I feel like a dope for not knowing that. We Americans can be a bit US-centric and think that we invented everything I guess the truth is we get a lot of "our" good guns from others, including the M-60, M-240, M-249, etc.

I'm pretty sure we made the M-1 Abrams, but that will probably turn out to have a Honda engine or something....I mean why else is it so reliable?

Well, you're almost right.

You know that big 'ol 120mm, smooth bore gun that gives the M-1 its punch? Yep, it's a German design.
