Yeah, I was skeptic too on them being legit since they looked kind of off (especially the stocks), but I figured you knew more on the guns than me and moved on.

Well, let this be a lesson that even I'm not infallible.

As best I can tell, the ones in "3000 Miles to Graceland" and "Walking Tall" are fitted with scratch-built stocks and shorter barrels. These are all visual modifications made by the armorers, so that they'll look more like M249 Paras. The one in "Stargate: Atlantis" does have a real M249 Para stock, though...

Other than that, you're right on.

By SPW I ment a K3 mocked up to be an M-249 SPW.

I've also noticed that the K3's carry/barrel handle is a consistent thickness all the way through while the M249's seems to taper.
