I know some you out there have support weapons so let's see them! I'll start off with my newly SMP'd M249 Para. A front rail is going to be ordered to get rid of the ugly handguard and the awful stock bipod.

My soon to be SMP'd G&P Stoner 63. My SMP swapped gearbox should be arriving tomorrow from Rudy at Bingo Airsoft Works as he cut my M4 nozzle to the proper length and also did some soldering work since the auto-winding box mag is connected to the trigger board on the gearbox. The box mag winds as you pull the trigger and fire.

All very cool! I can't wait to finally own a support weapon myself. Maybe tax return this go around haha. I can't wait to see the Stoner SMP'd Gunny! That thing was great right out of the box.... at least for the beginning of Homeland.

Yes it was until the gearbox locked up on me....  :-\

I've only owned magazine fed "LMG" variants because I didn't want to carry around anything as heavy as a 249, M60, PKM, but my CA MG36 and CA RPK didn't have their gearboxes built to handle a sustained ROF, and I always experienced gearbox issues as a result in the past. Fortunately HPA solves for that.

My choice for a SG came down to the G&P Stoner 63 and a CA Stoner LMG and even though the CA Stoner LMG is a little lighter and I think shorter, I favored the G&P Stoner since I already had a V2 SMP and it uses a standard V2 gearbox, so it seemed like an easier conversion since it also doesn't utilize a micro-switch either. And it has a working semi too so I can use it indoors!

A&K M249 converted to a Daytonagun. LOVE this thing. Still needs to be broken in however its absolutely stunning.




Here is my pride and joy. Asahi M60E3 STD. Circa 1994 (or so). LRB equipped and 320fps w/ .20g. Easily hits 80m range with .32g BB.

For those who do not know me - I live over at the Classic Airsoft Board.  I collect old/rare/custom airsoft,  a hobby that I've been doing since around 1985 or so.  I like (really like) the larger guns and have a pretty nice collection built up re same;)

I recently pulled out some of my 22 MGs for cleaning/maintenance. Apologies for the crappy photos! The MG34, second from the right, facing forward is a real MG that was beautifully converted to shoot airsoft - and shoots very, very well, I may add! For those who may wonder - the real one cannot chamber or fire 7.92 rounds as all associated parts are with the licensed gun collector who performed some significant mods to transform the gun into a legal beast (or at least until I finally obtain certification to own such things in my PC state) which takes time and lots of work.

The lineup from right to left (standing behind the guns):

The very difficult to find ESCORT/Inokatsu M60E3, originally owned by The Cleaner who acquired from NightStalk (who had upgraded the gun to increase performance)!

Real Steel MG34. WWII vintage with VERY low S/N of '999'. Beautiful condition. Converted to use high-end airsoft components. Heavy mother that is a BLAST to shoot/operate!

Near mint Asahi MG34. Shown with belted ammo. All accessories included, but not shown.

Inokatsu M60VN (with M2 tripod and T&E gear. My baby - she is sweet. She was also hard to find, even 5 years ago!

RWA MG34 - now modified to P*. Fantastic performance - but too lethal for anything but plinking. Rudy outdid himself (again) with this one. At the time of build it was the only known P* MG34. May still be for all I know. The original RWA gun was an overpriced and poorly performing piece (inasmuch as it's cheap internals self-destructed about 300 shots out of the gun. Dimensionally NOT true to the real MG34.

LCT M60VN. My opinion - full of real steel (as in real) and thus close to the weight of a real M60. More modern internals than the (stock) venerable Inokatsu. Not bad, not bad at all really. But if forced to choose between the LCT and the Ino '60s - I would probably keep my Inokatsu (first loves are hard to forget I guess Still, despite what one may have read/heard about the LCT - it actually has been a good gun and mine has not given me the slightest problem. A keeper

E1M240B - one of only a couple known to have been converted to use the Daytona system. Tony has my other one, which he used to build Number One Great gun and LOTS of recoil - badabadabadabada. Hard to put down type if gun and a headliner

Forgot - I also have two other Asahi MG34s, compete with all the original accessories.   To my mind - these are still THE best airsoft MG34s out there. Period. You have to hold/shoot one to really get what I am saying.  Some of older/rarer Classic guns are astonishing in quality and performance and can compete with the new stuff (and often dance around them) despite being a quarter-century older:)

Which is why I own five JAC B.A.R. M1918A2s (most with nice things like custom 'Sheriff' barrels, enlarged air valving and airlines, etc., etc.).

Long Live the Classics

I'd love to see those someday. I've never had the exposure to the classics past reading about them. But maybe someday;)

I was a few hours from there about 5 years ago when we were living on the edge of Arizona for a year or so, but until CA lets me carry my handgun legally I'll stay outside the state;) Maybe someday though, and then I'll do some looking around CA:)
