I humped an M60E3, this was circa 87-90, as they were introducing the SAW. It came in at just under 24 lbs, and had a forward pistol grip mounted on the barrel. The M203 experiment involved duct tape, tequila and practice ordnance. It was not condoned by CMC or anyone with a shred of responsibility or common sense.
This sounds totally possible! Just take one of those M60's attach the forward hand grip, and affix 1913 tac rails on the under frame running inbetween the bipods.(Yes I know it would impead folding of the bipod.) Then adapt the mount for the 203 so that it could be secured to the rails, once it's affixed it'd be a heavy sonovabitch, but you'd have direct and indirect suppression all in one platform! And now because I can't help myself... we're adapting it to Shadow run terms. Take an Ares stoner M202, throw on a sling, a gas vent 3, a personalized grip, imaging scope, an ammo box, and a foregrip on an as well as, a powered slide mount a smartgun, melee hardening, and reduced weight (or whatever you like.) that totals to +2 to shooting tests, -1 range modifier, space for a Ares antioch 2 (airburst link, external smartgun, ) under the barrel, and 6 recoil comp right there, if you're chromed up might as well just get a cyberarm gyromount would give either 3 or 6 more points of RC which would give you a grand total of 9-12 RC, would it be expensive? yes, be very recognizable? also yes. would it be an amazing piece of weaponry for you? VERY. As usual Viking, Semper fi. You keep giving me bad ideas I'll keep jury rigging shit together and praying it works.
