I still wouldn't want to be right there at the muzzle when that 1919A1 started up.

I've got the G.I. Joe model of the 1919A1 in mint condition. I found it when the G.I. Joe Convention came to my town. I didn't even know they existed. I have eleven G.I. Joes. People ask, "How did you start collecting G.I. Joes?" I didn't. When I was ten, I had one. I went to visit a friend who was a bit spoiled and owned something like twenty of them. He got bored of them so every so often he would stick an Estes rocket motor under one's field jacket, lacquer the jacket to hold it, and then, in full regalia, shoot Joe into the next neighborhood. I was horrified and said, "If you are going to destroy 'em, give them to me." He did. Surprise.

have the M7 flash hider ?

Don't know what I was thinking...yes, a 1919A4. I think to be the A6 it needs the flash hider, BAR bipod and carry handle. Don't know why I said A1...
Yes, of course staged.

Right rear tripod leg support looks a bit sketchy. Wonder where the whole rig would wind up after a burst or two.
