I want to take a shot at this:

 because it is Star-Warsy and I like the way it looks. I want to replace one of the in-game models, maybe the Blaster Cannons (K1) or the Charric (TSL). It will be a simplified version, so that the polygon count does not get out of control. 
 Before I start, I want to make sure that nobody else is working on something like this. If there are any existing mods based on the MG42, I also want to make sure that mine looks different. 
 ps Thanks to RedHawke for valuable information on the origins of some of the Star Wars blasters!
