Hey k, got a question
Where can I buy multiple 50 caliber machine guns?
I got a friend who is building a B-17, but he needs as much help he can get, I heard he needed armnment, but not sure if that meant guns or turrets as well.
If possible I would love to get him some that work, but I also don't wanna pay like 20 grand each per gun, any ideas?
Use broomhandles.

This or deactivated legit ones.
Working ones will cost immense amounts of money

If you contact them they'll probably be able to set up the Aircraft version.

Pretty much this.
If you feel spendy, get resin replicas.

If you're autistic enough to care, you can probably find specially made blank-firing M2 replicas as well.
Does it need to be working?
Becuase if not buy an airsoft one.

My bad, the AN\M2 is right there in the middle of the page, sight was acting wonky so I didn't pay too much attention. May still want to ask if they can help with mounts and shit.

Well I figure the side guns should be real, maybe the ball turret and top turrets, everything else though can be fake.
But yeah coming from the atf perspective I can totally see why they are expensive.
if even one went missing it would be a fucking logistics nightmare.

Stuck at work gonna slowpost
That sounds /k/ as fuck. Is there a PayPal fund or a web site or something we can contribute to and/or track his progress?

Yeah the plane is called "desert rat"
They got a Facebook page and I think a crude website. I would link it, but currently stuck on mobile
Pretty much dude wanted his own B-17, he found one that had been cut up for scrap, and he's been rebuilding it ever since.

Not OP, but I could certainly see a concern in weather resistance for it. If you are going through cloud cover and are subjecting it to some massive temperature changes, it might not hold up too well.
>>31516519
You mean like this?
>>31517043
My thoughts exactly.
>>31516494
Could ask the ATF, they seem fond of handing them out to anyone who asks nicely.

Mention you're a syrian refugee first.

Who wishes to become trans. This has to be a guarantee here.

Be sure to mention that you're both an illegal immigrant, and a member of a mexican cartel.
