They are salvaged from 28mm and 1/35 kits/models. Cheap toys are a good place to look too. For 20mm I got some WW2 1/35 weapon packs (you can get them from most model stockists) or 40K weapons. Cut the stocks off the weapons and grips. Mount in various places. SMGs become LMGs, I used Bren Guns as Autocannons, 40K Bolters as semi auto grenade launchers. Bazookas as rocket launchers.

The owner, Rolf, is a great bloke and his range of modern heavy weapons are very nice sculpts and not very flimsy. Look around his stuff and you can find all types of 20mm standing or seated gunners to add some realism to your converted hotwheels, oh, almost forgot, his stuff is well priced.......
