At 1:16 the gun is literally in the viewer's face, and metal beats plastic outright here: sharp profile, straight tube, drilled muzzle. Small machined parts such as aerials and indicators also survive handling that would snap a moulded equivalent. Find vehicles this size in 1:16 and 1:18 military vehicle kits and every calibre under turned metal barrels and parts. Heavier tubes want two-part adhesive from model glues.
