Rubicon Models offer 28mm American, British, German, and Soviet infantry figures for the modeller and/or gamer. They even have HMG/MMG teams for the American and Germans - none for the British or Soviets. However, something I noticed is that
there are no LMGs (MG34 or MG42 with bi-pods) teams for the German infantry. Also, there are no BARs for the US infantry, or LMGs (DP-28 for example) for the Soviet infantry. There only seems to be one LMG in the whole mix, and that is the Bren LMG (Item# 284059) for the British infantry, so the British can at least have LMG teams even if they can't have MMG teams.
I also notice that there are no SMGs either (MP40 and Thompson SMGs for example) for the American and German infantry. The British get what looks like a couple of Sten SMGs, and it seems that the Soviet infantry get no rifles and a lot of PPSh SMGs. What, no Mosin–Nagant rifles, really?
Are these obvious oversights on Rubicon Models' part? Or are these items of no interest to modellers and/or gamers?Because the 28mm infantry figures are made of pewter and not plastic, that just makes it that much harder to convert a few to make LMG teams. Provided you can find some LMGs or BARs so you can convert a few figures to look like they are carrying LMGs or BARs.
