Steve Pearson Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Try as I might, I do vaguely remember seeing on a website airsoft video, someone using an airsoft .50 hmg replica. However, I cannot for the life of me find it as it was quite a long time ago. Does anyone know if they do genuinely exist, and if so, where? Search phrases I tried didn't bring any results. Help on this definately appreciated. Thanks. Steve. Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Pearson Posted January 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Can barely see their HMG in one of their pictures. I'll give them a ring monday and ask. Thanks. Steve. Link to post Share on other sites
First to Die Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 First and only airsoft are planning one. It's going to be a browning 50. cal. The body's already made and its looking sweet. Will get pictures as soon as i'm there again. Which unfortunately may be a while... Link to post Share on other sites

Freelancer Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 still probably cheaper than a vulcan minigun. Link to post Share on other sites
airsofter22 Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Hi I saw one on a website for 3995 USD, but there was an even better upgraded version for 4995 USD, if i can get the website i will post it. Thanks airsofter22 Link to post Share on other sites
rageman Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Shoot and Scoot DO sell Airsoft .30 cal's very very similar. About £500 and another £150 for the tripod. Link to post Share on other sites
First to Die Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 And it will probably cost more than 4000USD..... Cheers, Mike ™ <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So far its cost them about £400. Alls they need to do is stick it together. I got it wrong as well, its a Vicars machine gun not a browning Link to post Share on other sites
Hissing_Sid Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Airsoft HMG is kinda pointless, especially in the UK. Bigger and heavier than an AEG but with the same power and range. Great idea! I'm sure it'd be cool for a site to have a replica M2 or summat for base defence but, for what it is, it could easily be made just by bunging a complete P90 into a wood housing. Job done.

Airsoft is 50% action sport and 50% love of the gear. After all an MP5 with a motorised box mag does the same job as an M249 in airsoft... Link to post Share on other sites

My point was simply that you could easily make a decent Browning M2 replica which you could use in the UK simply by making a box which a P90 could be fitted into. I don't see why it needs to cost megabucks. The main problem with stuff like this is that it'd probably be an emplaced gun. That'd leave you, the owner, with the choice of manning it yourself all day or leaving it for anybody to use. Personally I'd worry that people might abuse it in some way and damage it. Another reason why it isn't really viable in anything other than very special conditions. [edit] Hey! I just had a look at the ShootNScoot webby for the first time in ages. Looks a lot more impressive now. Looks like we share a common opinion. They make their Browning .30 out of a P90. Link to post Share on other sites
skruface Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 John (Blastyman) waaaaaaaay over here in Canada custom built an M3HB in his garage over the winter. From his thread on Airsoftcanada.com: " Here is my interpretation of the .50 BMG (Blasty Machine gun) It was hand crafted in my garage over this winter using the most basic of tools. Jigsaw,Hacksaw,skill saw with abrasive blade and my trusty drill. Its full metal and fully functional. Features -Metal construction,very solid and hefty -v6 gearbox for high relibility -750 round BB capacity -Working Charging handle to ready the gun to fire -adjustable tripod -420 FPS Gun is approximately 98% complete. I have to finish up the sights and a better latch for the feed cover. Had it out to our Vietnam game and it was quite the hit. Anyhow here are some pics if anybody is interested. Probably put a video up sometime if anybody wants. " Link to post Share on other sites
Aidan Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 wow, that's a rather impressive looking piece. I'll have to talk to blastyman about how he managed it 'cause that is sick lookin'. Link to post Share on other sites
Zrilobyte Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Funny I found this Thread, I was up last night looking at piccs of the .50 wondering if I could make it outta bits of ply and resin from the garage. Blimey that looks so so cool, have you any plans/specs, the namsofters in our team would cream themselves, and it'd save me a job of trawling through specs and making parts from scratch?

Zrilobyte Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Whilst trawling I found these, it might help out a little: http://www.marstar.ca/images/Automatics/M2HB/c-diagram.gif http://www.marstar.ca/m2-50cal.htm there are quite a few others, but most of 'em want some cash for sommit...

Plus that would weigh a ton. Sid's idea is probably the most effective. Link to post Share on other sites

Hissing_Sid Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 FWIW, have a look on http://www.relics.org.uk They've got a new website up and I can see a Browning .303 for £244 and a very nice M2 for £490 Both would be decent value if you could stuff a 1J uprated P90 into them, compared to a custom-made jobby anyway. Note that neither includes a tripod or pintle mount of any kind though. Link to post Share on other sites
Noc| Kane Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Wow that was a nice gun there, you should like try to get a job doing that. I think that there is a 50 cal in the making. Link to post Share on other sites
