A .50 cal might work for a .30 cal, but the grips and such would probably need some work.

There are no 1/25 weapon kits I know of but there are some 1/25 weapons. The AMT Jeep (Hogan's Hero's) has a .50 MG, an M1 carbine, and maybe a pistol. It also has a 106mm Recoiless rifle (basically a light weight cannon).

Several police car kits have rifles and shotguns, I know the Monaco (Dukes of Hazard/Joker Goon car/TJ Hooker) has a pretty good stock of guns. Italeri and Hasegawa also did 1/24 Jeeps, but I don't know what guns they came with.

It really isn't that hard to make up a machinegun, particularly a fixed mounted gun where only the barrel shows. Some brass tubing, telescoped into itself is a good start for a barrel. Even a flexible mount you just need some tubing or rod, some square plastic stock, putty, some good pictures and time.

Blake,

First off, 1/35 weapons will be way too small for 1/24-25. And you will notice the difference. I would suggest you check out Scale Equipment Ltd. or PSF Hobbies. Both of these places sell sets of 1/24-25 resin weapons. The PSF set i have includes pistols, shot guns, and rifles. If you are looking for heavier firepower, then your probably looking at scratch-building. At one time I built Ted Nugent's Bronco "Gonzo". I used a PSF set of weapons. I also scratch-built a compound bow. (I really wish i had some pictures of it now) As a long shot, check out some of the resin figure manufacturers. 76mm figures are the same size as 1/24-25 and they will also sometimes have weapon sets available.
