Re: smoking machine gun
You could probably do something like what I did on a smaller scale

I have the heater powered from a 6V (I think, 6 or 7) and the blower is basically Y’d off of the outlet that the MG LED plugs in. So when power goes to the machine gun LED, it also powers the blower.
The I just plug the smoke tube into/onto the MG tube, and run the LED wiring out through the tube, much like you would for cannon smoke with an LED. Only thing is there needs to be space between your LED and the machine gun tube for the smoke to flow through. I think most out of the box 1/16 scale machine guns are one solid piece. So you’d have to fix that or buy one made like that.
