From the Vault: Tippmann Miniature Rimfire Replica Machine Guns
This "From the Vault" video showcases three Tippmann miniature rimfire replica machine guns from the 1980s, presented by Brownells Gun Tech and firearm historian Keith Ford, along with Rock Island Auctions' new product team leader Paul Levy. These fully functioning, belt-fed, full-auto firearms are scaled-down replicas of famous US military Browning machine guns. The collection includes an M1917 with a simulated water jacket, an air-cooled M1919, and an M2 "Ma Deuce" chambered in .22 WMR. The video highlights their detailed construction, reliability, and fun factor, with accurate scale replicas of tripods and ammo cans also featured. Production of these limited-run firearms ceased following the 1986 Firearm Owners Protection Act.
