Airborne Miniatures makes nice WW2 and modern 120mm weapons in resin. Maciek does sell spare parts so it's possible to order just the guns without buying the entire figure kit (and you can order heads, pouches, torsos, boots, etc. I did). Note that some of the guns have hands attached to the trigger grips. Maciek takes PayPal and I never had any problems with his Customer Service.

Peter Samofalov also has a shop in Shapeways that makes 120mm modern machine guns and scopes.

What are you after, exactly? Live resin do some great M4s in 1/16; & there are SAWs too from AM. As for complete figures, AM is your best bet. These can be updated with 1/16 helmets from LR if you wish. Alpine do a great USMC 50cal Sniper if that's your tning. And there is Dooyan figures out of Singapore as well. They have a range of modern US figures to choose from. Take your pick!

There are more, I will expand on this later as I'm off to a game with my son.

Sorry, that should be Deyun figures.

There is also 51-Studio, Quasar-Miniatures, AC Models, some Legends', and, the best, Spades Models. My favorite for 1/16 German WWII is Jeff Shiu, second to none. Example: http://jeffshiu.lsft.com/product43.html a four man MG team, running. Sublime.

All depends on what you're looking for... this would be the latest and greatest, http://www.planetfigure.com/threads/modern-russian-soldier-120mm.72457/#post-749630

but some would say that 1/16 is not a good scale for sales, so be quick if you see something.

good luck, hth
