This was my first attempt at modding and I must admit it hurt a little to cut up some perfectly good BrickArms! However a MAB 38 SMG would work perfectly for my Italian WWII troops so I tought it was worth the try. It might be slightly oversized but overall I think its a fair representation of the actual weapon:

Thats very good! I`ve allways wanted to make a mod withe a Garand and a MP40.

Vot WWII weapons for 2009! And together we can mow down Jerry or maybe even some pesky Allies to a brighter more violent future!

Great idea and mod! I'm glad you were able to put those Garands to use. :)

Is is pinned, or just glued?

Very Nice! I like this mod. You are lucky you got a black garand.

Those Garands came in extremely useful, thanks again! ;)

It's just glued ...cheap dollar store glue even! Luckily it seems to stick together eventhough I have clumsily dropped it on the floor a few times.

Ooh, me likey :-)

It looks like some kind of machine gun ("Maybe that's because it is, Brickfan," "Oops, sorry.")

Nice mod, though.

Well done, and I loved how you used it with your soldiers.

I must say, this is perhaps one of the best representations of the Bergman-Style MAB 38.

I could picture this as a real BA stock item for some odd reason.

Of course you're welcome to make one, but thanks for asking!

Sfzdk, that looks perfect! It looks just like the reference pic you gave us! I completely admire it. It looks very accurate, but if it were too accurate than it wouldn't have that Lego feel that we all love. Thats why I prefer Brickarms way over another vendor :D. Good job!
