I don't agree with you. If nothing else, the name of the 6mm line - DSM,
or DirtSide Miniatures - is a small hint of Jon's intentions with them
<g> 

Since they represent the same forces as the SGII models - same universe,
like - they're miniature versions of the 25mm models. The line is
expanding rather fast - it's only existed for a year, if that! - and I
wouldn't be surprised if GZG turn out 2-man heavy weapon crews	someday
soon as well; but 'til then I just assume that the GSM/P and /L
categories are baked together into one in DSII.

BTW, the "long-ranged buzzbombs" and "GSM/P" are likely to be one and
the
same in a few years time, at least if the British MoD gets what they
want
in the current LAW "contest" :-/
