When I was reading about the USMC Stinger, a field modified aircraft mounted weapon that could fire at 1200 rpm used during WWII, I was wondering what modified weapons there were in Iraq/Afghanistan...are there any weapons out there that the military modified while in Iraq/Afghanistan just like the Stinger which was originally intended for a fighter plane, but then modified for infantry use...

BTW, I found a picture of the USMC Stinger. This machine gun was originally mounted in a WWII fighter plane and then modified for field use. The Marines, at the time, found it very useful for busting up bunkers.

Oh man, this thing is a beauty...
