Default Gun Truck Guns

I initially typo'd Fun Truck Guns (lol)

What are you folks using for your guns on your trucks? airsoft, cast replicas, plastic solids, resin? etc?

what is the most economical method that still looks the part?

The best guns I've seen are the demilled guns, of coarse they look the most real cause they are---but the problem with some of the others is that when the kids get up on the trucks some get a little rough on the equipment and things get broke, Irac cast replicas are also pretty good.

Probably airsoft.

Seeing as a real M134 minigun kit is anywhere from $20k-$50k dollars. At those prices you could stick live semi 50s on there.

I've got three resin guns from this supplier (www.rreplicas.com) they are all very accurately detailed. The nice thing about resin guns is you don't need to worry about the weather, plus they're affordable.

Live 30 cal 1k, live 50 cal 6.5k, both semi of course. Look around there are some deals out there. You could also build your own for less.

Those resin guns are awsome looking. I need a couple of those claymores for hitch plugs!

I purchased 3 airsoft M60s from a place called Airsoft GI $399.00 ea. All steel construction and plastic only where plastic is supposed to be. They weigh about 24 lbs. , nice and hefty. These were made by the Chinese company who was shut down for using live rifle lowers on their Airsoft m4 rifles and importing them to the U.S. The only thing I dont like about them is the M60 E pistol grip they used on the M60 (it is different) otherwise they are remarkably similar to the live weapon and at a great price. The attached pictures is one of mine.

Thats what I had planned and my friend has one as well. It's quite a 1:1 replica but can actually be useful besides as eye candy.
