About those box and drum magazines for LMGs...

Here's a nice box-magazine setup for inspiration:

Tasty, eh?

HK's own websites show the LMG version of the G36 with a double-drum magazine:

Airsoft Arms (among others) sells a replica for airsoft G36s -- but only the more expensive electric guns, and at a price that only a Blue Sun operative could love... still, it gives a good picture of the setup:

Hope these are of some help to any machine gunners out there!

Evening, all!

Sister, thank you for that. When they do arrive, and you are ready to get rid of them, please email me so we can work out the details.

DocJubal, thank you very much for that info! So, we should be able to have a few SAW's with no problems at all!
As far as the sniper rifle, thank you for that link. There is also a civilian version of that rifle called the SL-8 out there. It is also based on the G36. In following with the 76th's weapons guidlines, this is an acceptable rifle for the snipers. Not sure you want it that bright, glaring white, though!

Magda, , thank you for that! I really do hope it turns out to be that way...years down the road..."Nice coat!" "Yeah, it was my grandfather's. He was one of the original members of the 76th".

Oooooh - they look pretty serious to a girl who's only ever handled an air riffle for shooting rabbits or target practice on tin cans... and that was when I was 12! (and we had to pick up the tiny little pellets after our target practice to re-use them...)

Heh - I guess I have to get over that if I am going to fight for the Independant Army... I mean - march with the 76th!

EDIT: I am sure it will go down like that Tristan... I am sure it will...

SHINY. I believe we have a Volunteer who already has one of these. Spiffin'... I conjure that the robust lines of the SL8 would allow a devoted propmaker to build a hefty "anti-tank rifle" by attaching an oversized barrel to the frame. Next best thing to a bazooka!

ArtCat, I sent you the flyer that Tristan & I worked on (to the email listed on your website). If you decide to take it somewhere for printing, I encourage you to try to find paper that's not stark white. I think it would look better on something kind of tan or cream colored.

I'm going to have my local OfficeMax print out a ton for Serenity to take with her to FXCon. Here's hopin' we both manage to score more recruits!

Tristan & BWTP, thanks for the help, I think it came out great! Maybe you could figure out how to post it on the website?

I'll have Ben work on the lanyard this weekend so's we can get a pic up. We'll also have some new pics on our website later...magnets & shot glasses! (Yes, fully usable leather shot glasses. LOL.) Today's our anniversary, so I may not be around much. Have a good one, 76ers!

Morning, Boomer!
First off, happy anniversary to the two of you! I hope you enjoy the day and end up doing lots of fun things!

Thank you for the flyers...and thanks for your patience with my aged computer at home...the one at work is better, so I am going to see what I can do about getting it posted on here...my kung fu in document-to-jpeg is not all that strong.

More recruits! That will be shiny! Remember, to match the 501st, we need at least 3,000!

I am very pleased and still surprised at how well this is all coming together. I would say that we should have all the details hammered out within a month or so!

For those with the 76th patch in their signature blocks.
I wanted to make use of all that space to the right of the patch, so I put together a recruiting poster

FlatTop, that is one mighty shiny tag you have there! Thanks for coming up with that!
Would you mind if those that want to went ahead and used that in their own signature lines?
