what weapon is this guy brandishing?

 

[Oleg Volk]

Fake MG42 stock for a 10-22?

 

[Ian]

Yep, that's what I'm thinking. A 10/22 made to look like an MG42.

 

[Manedwolf]

Yes, because MG-42s were used in the first "Star Wars" movie, (watch for stormtroopers carrying them in the desert), they're a favorite of obsessive scifi geeks. Kind of ironic that all those WWII MGs, even Sterlings and all as well, were running around Elstree Studios...in the UK, back then. Now, I suppose they'd have to evacuate half the nation if someone found one on a set.

And that looks like one of those fake plastic MG42 stock things that Sportsman's Guide and others had for the 10/22, yes.

 

[SDC]

Yep, 10/22 in one of these stocks:

An MG42 or MG3 was also used on a camera harness in Aliens. (Vasquez)

And we're working on an MG3 right now. What a cool gun.

 

[Axman]

Careful, that guy's got a gloved finger on the trigger!!!
