So I got this gun in a lot of parts from someone on FB a couple years ago. I haven't figured out where it comes from.
It looks like a modification of Firefly's SMG with a different stock. Normally I'd say it's from Lanard, since they used to have a tendency to adapt various Joe gear to their brand. It could also be something post-New Sculpt that I'm just not familiar with, or from a different third party. Anybody know for sure?

I'd say third party for sure man, one, because I was there through most of new-sculpt, and they didn't modify that gun- they just included it with everyone they possibly could, and two, it really doesn't have that Hasbro-quality feel. It definitely is the firefly gun, but aside from the stock change, the rest of the details have that "we changed the minimum of 10% to avoid infringement", loss of sharpness feel.
Sorry I can't help beyond that, I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will chime in soon enough.

Well, it doesn't look like Toymax; they mostly used black plastic, though they do share the same MO of modifying and resizing Joe weapons. Toy Island mostly stuck with knocking off Galoob weapons, and only in gray plastic. This one is probably from one of those obscure third-party brands or knock-offs; we may never know which one for sure. Which is too bad since it is fairly nice. The detail isn't great, but the material and texture are about identical with an actual Joe weapon, and it looks good enough even in a modern figure's hands.
