The Medium version of the M247 general purpose machine gun was only seen in Halo 2 which I always thought was kind of odd. This sort of man-portable machine gun is a staple of armies everywhere and you would have expected to see it throughout the Halo Reach/CE/2/3 universe.
It was fashioned using painstakingly modified parts from a v1 MB Halo shotty, 2x Brick Arms XRG (above and below the gun barrel), 1x BrickArms LMG (for it's ammo magazine box) and 1x Si-Dan folding tripod and hinge/pivot. I glued all the parts together with slow-setting cyano-acrylate glue and then paint detailed and sealed the stock butt plate and ammo box.
The finished weapon is a little bulkier than the ref pics suggest it should be but I think it captures the look quite nicely. What do you folks think?
