One item that King and Country has not produced yet - the .50 cal. M2HB on the M3 ground tripod. These appeared through WW2, Korea and Viet Nam and still serve in the War on Terror. Personally I was thinking of an M2HB with a prone gunner and an assistant for the Battle of the Bulge range. Since the gun is quite heavy it is often better in the defense than the offense.
In toy soldier terms the .50's are rare. Matchbox had a mediocre one with a kneeling gunner in their 1/32 and 1/72 US figures set. There was a so-so casting of one with the Britains "Hold to the Last Round" set in 54mm. Other than those I can't remember any other M2HBs on ground mounts in 54mm or 60mm. These are big impressive guns that deserve a nice model.
